I think a picture helps a post enormously! So, for each post, I try to find an image that supports its intent and acts as a mind trigger.

Now, I’m no professional photographer and I don’t have access to the necessary props, kit and know-how to make my own images so I scour around the wonder that is ‘Google Images’ to find what I hope fits.

I am conscious of copyright laws so:

• I first use the Google Images ‘usage rights’ filter to see if there is an image that is clearly ‘free to use or share’;
• If I can’t find a suitable image that is clearly ‘free to use or share’ then I will pick an image that I don’t think should matter to the person or organisation that created it
  • My rationale for this is that there are gazillions of images on Google for which the creator is probably perfectly comfortable with their  respectful re-use…indeed they may gain from this (e.g. brand recognition);
  • If I select an image in which its re-use is unclear and there is an obvious source then I will make sure that this is showing either in the image or at the bottom of the post, thereby providing the image creator with the credit
• If I happen to have used an image that you:
  • legally hold the usage rights; but
  • haven’t granted usage/sharing rights; and
  • are unhappy about me using it in the manner that I have*

…then please let me know and I will remove it ASAP and replace it with something else.

Hope the above makes sense and seems reasonable.
