This library of photographic images are available for personal or commercial use. If you are after a specific image, you can begin your search right here by entering a keyword, for example: horses, clouds, waves, peaceful, etc.
From there, you can refine your search, select images from assorted galleries or start a new search based on other keywords, locations, orientation (vertical or horizontal) and other search criteria.
You may also copy, with my permission, the slideshow of images at left to embed in your own website or blog totally free of charge. Why would I allow this? Well, whenever anyone clicks on an image in the slideshow, they will be taken to my complete image library for the opportunity to view other images and galleries or to purchase the image. Simply click on the 'up arrow' in the lower right corner of the slideshow and grab the embed code (much like embeding a video in YouTube), or the URL to send a link to someone.
You may also go directly to the Galleries Index or the Advanced Search options.

Art Prints
All images are available as photographic or fine art prints.
Photographic prints are processed in the traditional photographic process. These custom prints are printed to the highest standards and mounted on rigid 'masonite' for superior strength, longevity and flatness. Then the print is sprayed with several coats of photographic lacquer to protect and enhance the display quality of the image. This makes them much easier to frame without a mat and there's no need for expensive glass to protect the surface of the print.
Fine Art Priints are printed with the Giclee printing process for the ultimate in longevity and quality. The image is printed on fine art paper that leaves a border around the image for true conservation matting and framing as a gallery print. The archival paper has a 'watercolour' feel to it and is 100% cotton, acid-free , thick and heavy for added strength.
Personal Use
Personal use image licenses are for people that would like to use one or more of my photographs for non-commercial applications. If you want to use an image for commercial or editorial use, please read the information in the next column.
Personal usage can include things like screen-savers, computer wallpaper, display in digital frames, use on a personal (not for profit) website or blog or small prints. They may be used for personal items such as wedding invitations, announcements, personal online profiles etc.
The price for personal usage is quite inexpensive and will depend partially on the size of image required. When you find the image you're looking for and add it to your 'cart', select the download button and then Personal Use to view the options.

Commercial or Editorial Use
Commercial and Editorial uses include any use to publicize, promote or add content to a commercial publication including magazines, web sites, annual reports, calendars, greeting cards or other printed or published material or electronic representation.
There are two ways to purchase image licenses for commercial use; Royalty Free or Rights Managed. Images will be priced one way or the other, but not both.
With Royalty-Free images you typically pay for the size of the image used (smaller being less expensive) and may use it for whatever application you need, for as long as you want. The uses are usually restricted to small digital applications, such as supplimentary web-site images, due to their small size.
Rights-Managed licensed images are based on the actual usage of the image. They are typically much larger in file size than RF images, better quality and are useful for everything from advertising, large sized web use, display printing, packaging, bill-boards or any other 'reproduction'.
It's also a very fair method of calculating the value of an image. If your usage is restricted to a small, local publication with limited run, for example, you would pay less than for a national advertising campaign with large runs, covering a large geographical area or for a long period of time.
Most of my images are Rights-Managed Licensing. The price will be calculated when you select the image to purchase and input the usage criteria. Of course there are always exceptions or uses that are not available in the price calculator. If you can't find the usage you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
