My work is art that stands on its own, not mere raw material for someone else. I often license my work to businesses for commercial uses, and send files to their graphics people for that, which is fine because the piece is still recognizable as my photo. I don't want it subsumed in someone else's art. They can take their own pictures. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 4/21/12 8:48 PM, "grduprey at mchsi.com" <grduprey at mchsi.com> wrote: >Today I was approached by an artist who wants to use one of my Eagle >photos, the image of the eagle, in a piece of his art.
