Bird of the Week Front Page Pictures Wanted

[mbulriss]

Curt,

Yes, we could always use group or individual shots. But to be honest,
I have been cautious about third party submissions over privacy
issues. We have actually had people complain about their privacy when
we ask them to sign their posts on the members-only forum! When I get
the picture direct from the owner(s), then I know they have released
it for publication on the Internet. Maybe I am too cautious in
today's litigious society. I already spend too much time with lawyers!

Another problem with getting pictures from third parties is that you
may or may not get the owner's names correct, the year model of the
Bird and any unique features. Like last week's Bird where it was the
*original* owner who had logged 206,000 miles. That was neat info to
add to the caption. A few weeks ago, I got a submission from someone
I never heard of before, with a picture and a note saying 'we love our
Bird' and no signature of any kind. I responded looking for info but
never got a reply. To me, that is an unusable picture without some
content. I could cut and paste random pictures from dealer sites if
that's all we wanted to show.

In any event, yes, if I can get names, year/model info, and if the
picture is already public info on the SWBB site, then we can use them.

Thanks,

Mike Bulriss
