i think i have over 500 fotos of david that are not on this site i will upload one by one the problem is they are all too big and i have to adjust each one and that takes time. also i dont like the pictures when hes younger but i have also searched for the forum for lots of younger fotos i will try to upload fotos that are big and good quality occasionley i will upload fotos that are not of a good quality because i find them personnaly sexy because someone took a snap shot at the wright time.

i hope you will have fun from my fotos.

ps i would appreciate comments i love to read them and most of the time no one makes comments they can be bad thats ok.

Neonico, thanks for sharing your collection. Can I ask you to do something? If you know the name of the photographer, PLEASE type it in the comments box somewhere as some professional photographers can be a bit, sensitive, about fans posting their work on forums. If I know something about a photo I'm happy to comment on it. I noticed you posted a FANTASTIC photo of David from about 1983/4. I have this photo in my collection too, so I know it's by Peter Ashworth and I've commented on that. I don't want anybody being sued for breach of copyright!!!!

All photos are copyrighted to the photographer who took them. Yes there are legal means you can go through to actually obtain a "real" copyright on works. But, credited or not anyone can make issues about photos being used against their direct permission unless they have been sold to a stock agency... and then the agency has ownership rights.
I know Denis O Regan does not like his images used without his permission and he's made deals with a couple of fan sites that it is ok for them to be used if credited. If an artist has expressly stated do not use photos without permission they can create a problem.
Just be forwarned.... If it is a problem they normally just ask it be taken down and leave it at that. So i don't think it is a big worry.
I know I get very irked when someone uses my work without permission... i earn my income from my images so if someone just takes it that is income out of my pocket. So that is the main reason behind such issues.

Those will be great to see neonico, thanks!

Many people here have shared links to their photo-sites, which was a real treat. There are still loads of pics around that aren't anywhere in the albums, nor have I seen them anywhere on the web (so many links show up to Japanese websites but I don't understand Japanese so I can't navigate through them, darn).

I wish I could post some of the stuff I have but my scanner is dead and I can't afford a new one at this time.

Neonico, have you come across any old photos (from the 80s) of David and Yuka? I have a couple I never posted and since I can't scan them I was curious if they're available somewhere - David looks great in these photos - in the ones I have Yuka has very short hair, dyed red.

Hey if anyone ever needs or wants anything scanned let me know. I have a high end scanner and have no problem scanning items at high resolutions. I can do them onto cds for people too.
Let me know.... :-)

Gods, if I had a transporter I'd load up the boxes of my stuff for you to scan. Unfortunately, I don'tl have one of those either. :lol:

Here's a little known fact; if David commissioned a photo, the copyright belongs to him. And you can call me Sheila if that's not true.

lol it's not true, sheila.
He owns the piece and has rights to use it, but so does the artist (have rights to use it especially for self promotion)

Indeed, I retain rights to all my photographs, whether there are commissioned or not. I usually require customers to sign an agreement as such.

On the topic of credits, it is always at the very least good manners to include a credit!

As a semi funny aside, I had to ask David's manager for a credit on my photo they had on the official website last year! He was very decent about it though and had it on there in literally minutes after emailing him!

Yes - God, but I am not wrong in saying that if someone commissions someone to take a photo of them, the copyright belong to the subject not the photographer, unless a special arrangement has been made. That's not a case of if someone just snaps you etc, but if they pay to have the work done. Key word: commission. Some more key words: I am right, you are wrong; watch me dance my dance of victory around you.

I remember that Moody actually, about the credit. Didn't know it was you though!

There's much confusion and misunderstanding in this area of law and it differs from country to country.
I don't take any chances at all, all of my clients have to sign a contract that explicitly shows that I own the copyright ownership in my images.
In return I may grant rights to print or reproduction, which is often negotiated.
If someone wants full rights, the fee increases substantially...Even then, I will usually insist on having retaining some level of right.

At the end of the day, it's up to the photographer to be smart about the whole thing...

Yeah, but I am talking about commissions....i.e. someone specifically buys your service!

It makes no difference, if it is written into the contract, it will be legally binding.
I have already successfully taken action against someone in this very instance.
I also used to work for a large company who reproduced some images with out consent of a portrait photography company who retained copyright of the images and lost to the tune of $200, 000.

thanks moodyb... that was exactly what i was saying. Both Moddyb and I are professional photographers and work doing commissioned pieces quite often. I too also make clients sign an agreement covering rights and usage with commissioned pieces or not.
