All the images are in the 1.77:1 ratio used on the site. Minor alterations, such as cropping to fit a pre-defined space, are fine.

For commercial use advance permission is required. Please contact me at news@amsterdamherald.com

If you use these pictures in a way that does not comply with these simple conditions, expect to receive the following, in this order:

1) Polite email

2) Less polite email

3) Bill for €200 for each image use above 100x100 pixels. (I reserve the right to charge for thumbnail use, depending on the context).

I'm not out to use the blunt instrument of copyright law to squeeze money out of bloggers. I'm very happy to help you make your site a little more eye-catching. All I ask is that you observe a few basic points of etiquette and give credit where it's due. If you can manage that, we should get along fine.

Best wishes,

Gordon Darroch
