Just a response to DHolman - It happens quite frequently (people using photos without written permission) - I received a copy of Organic Gardening - with one of my photos published inside...a full week later, I received a "letter of release" - the magazine wanting my permission to publish the photo - well after they had published it. Instead of playing "hardball" with them - I made them aware of the situation, and offered a "contract" of - over the next XYZ time period, they would purchase XYZ photos from me - instead of killing a client with a lawsuit (which I couldn't afford), we worked out an arrangement that worked for the both of us! Now - back on topic: I have used my site for a wide variety of things - me being more of a digital illustrator than photographer now, I use the site to FTP images and layouts to clients - this eats up gobs of space (I have 2 gigs worth - and have come close to filling it more than once)
