Guidelines to using pictures on your website,
in your brochure, on your book cover, etc.
1. You own the copyright to the photo
and may do what you please with it. Use it, modify it, etc.
2. If you use the photo, you must
give proper credit to the photographer (me). You do this by inserting
the line:
Credit: Thomas J. Leonard
immediately above or below or the left
or right (vertically) of the photo. (Don't put the credit anywhere
except right below, above, or next to the photo. This is important.)
The only exception to attribution is if
you use the photo on your business card, given the small sizes involved.
How to grab a photo and download it to
your hard drive.
1. Place cursor over the image you want
to download.
2. Click and release the RIGHT mouse button
if you're using Windows.
3. A menu will appear. Select 'Save
file as' or something similar.
4. When prompted, select the directory
on your hard drive where you want to store the photo.
You may change the name of the file, but
you must keep the '.jpg' given it is a .jpg file, not a .gif file (jpg
is usually better for photos).
If you want to resize or play with your
picture, download it as described above and then open up the jpg file with
an imaging software such as adobe photodeluxe, paintshop, photoshop or
any other type of software.
Printing Your Photo
If you want to get a printed version of
your photo, you can use a local or web-based digital photo service
bureaus who will do it for between $1 and $6 each, depending on size of
photo. Most use a $12,000 Fuji printer that will make your photo
look real and warm. FYI, the image size of the photos are about 4
inches high by 3 inches wide, but you can always make them bigger or smaller
with your image software. Note: I'll have a list of/link to
several of these service bureau's up by January 2000.
FYI, I find that by using glossy photo
paper (about $1/sheet from office max, office depot, etc -- I use the Kodak
brand, but HP, Canon, etc., are fine), you CAN print out a really cool
pix even from a low end color printer. It's definitely worth a try.
Final Notes
1. I did take more pictures of you
than these, but these are the best 'portrait-type' photos from the shoot.
2. I may have chosen a photo for
the online version of the Joy of Coaching book that isn't one that you
would have chosen. I made my choice based on the drama of the photo
and how well it illustrated the text I wrote.
Thanks for letting me take your picture!
Thomas
