I hope you succeed in this quest. Along my way I have put a few things up here and there - generally I do get emails requesting permission to use certain material - which I almost always grant as long as a by line is attached mentioning my father or myself. They all gladly comply with thanks.

Also - Many people all over the world currently are having "problems" now that Facebook is exercising its right to use any, and all, pictures, or info, put up on line through them for wahtever purpose pleases them including selling it for a profit..

Bottom line...............you want it to be private.............. never put it in on line - it will be there FOREVER .................and is unrecoverable, and uncntrollable the instant you release it.

But that's just mumbles from this old guy................ smile.

The issue I forsee is that eventually I would like to compile some kind of fishing biography/travel log book detailing my species hunt...and these same pictures will appear in the book in the future. I do not like to run into any copyright issue since these are my very own pictures...but having them already posted elsewhere may cause an issue in the future for the book...

At the same time, I would hate to have to withhold pictures and stories to share to avoid people using the material without permission...for the sake of this book that may be compiled in the future...
