Want permission to use a photo? Please do! Be my guest! Go right ahead! Just download, give proper credit, and go! Click on the "Some Rights Reserved" link (below & to the right of the photo) to learn more about Creative Commons. There is no need to ask permission, and I will ignore most such requests in order to save everyone's time. If you really must let me know, please do so by leaving a comment on the photo. If you need for me to sign a formal release form, please do so via email (see right).

Do you have a higher resolution file? No. The largest size available here on Flickr is the highest resolution file that I have.

Don't believe the "Taken on..." date for any photo of mine that doesn't also list the camera make; editing overwrote the EXIF on those photos. I often upload photos taken months ago.

Alarmingly well-read, clean cut, disarmingly insouciant, colorblind, and idealistic to a fault. I've piloted countless conveyances: kayak, pogo, segway, unicycle, and most thrillingly, a wheelchair skitching off a bicycle during a downpour, but never a car. Regardless of mode, I brake for pedestrians and pastry shops.
