Probably not a Russian bot, I'm a Silicon Valley refugee.

Licensing of these images for commercial or non-commercial use requires a signed contract and payment in US dollars.

Former employers shall pay 32 hours of FLSA overtime at my highest pay rate for each image, in addition to any other payment, before using any of my photos. This will cover labor costs required to travel to locations, shoot photos, purchase and maintain equipment, perform post processing, label, store, backup, and perform other tasks that make the image commercially useful. I recommend not using my images. It would be less expensive to hire a professional and re-shoot the image.

I like to look at Thomas Hawk's found photos. When the location is not identified, I try to figure it out. Many of these are in a gallery. .

Like you, I'm challenged every day to be a better person than I was yesterday. This is/was a democracy and I'm interested in public policy issues. Toward that end, I've been to hundreds of classes and seminars on privacy, voting machines, history, engineering, energy policy, geography, technology, and warfare, to name a few. I've done some volunteer work. The most recent example was working with medical doctors, visiting scholars, and graduate students who were not native speakers of English. I met with them weekly to discuss their challenges with US English.

It's a big disappointment that Annenberg Space for Photography will not be re-opening.

The Galleries here include images of death, traumatic injuries, and foul language. I hope you haven't worked as a combat medic, a paramedic, or an emergency department physician unless you want to. Some people, even ex-combat medics, may find these images disturbing. Many of us have seen a lot. I hope your life has been challenging in different ways such as child rearing or being temporarily unable to find the car keys.

Tags? Yes, I use them.

Visited: about 5 countries, 49 US states, and all 58 counties in California, so far. It may be less than 5 countries by the time President Putin is finished.

I think Ken Burns is on the right track when he talks about the three viruses that confront the United States.
