photo authors [both famous and less-known] accessible to a broad
interested public and create a forum for news, comment, critique and
exchange of opinion. Our presentation is believed to support the cause of
Art and Photography and to promote the interests of the photographers
featured in our galleries. This Website is and will stay strictly
not-for-profit and there are no commercial sponsors in the background.
Our policy is to create picture galleries in direct cooperation with photographers and the art
galleries or agencies representing them. Since it is often difficult to track the
artistīs contact address, though, we have taken the liberty to copy images from
books and other sources as well, within the guidelines of the American
Fair Use guidelines, as indicated on the MoMA and other
Museum Websites or by Mark Hardenīs
"Masters-of-Photography" Website (see details).
