Just a reminder to everyone who sends images to Dave or to other sites.
Please make every effort to find out who the photographer is and get
his/her permission before sending it to a web site. If the picture is
ancient, a museum group may own the rights. And make sure the
photographer knows the images can be downloaded by viewers. Also, make
sure the web master credits the photographer once permission is
obtained.

If you can't track down the owner, leave the image in your album or
slide box!

I have some dynamite DC Transit and early Pittsburgh stuff I haven't
sent in because I haven't been able to trace who the photographer is/was
or who currently owns the rights. I also have some Joe Diaz Pittsburgh
and Theodore Taetsch DC images that will not be sent to Dave's unless
these guys give the green light.

Please don't assume anything. Ken J.
