Tom, I wanted to ask you about this feature on your site. I really like it and wanted to do it with fishing pics on my blog. Do you ask permission or notify these folks w/ the Flickr accounts, or do we just assume that if they’re publishing really great photos that they would enjoy the recognition?
I always request permission first. It complicates things a little bit but it builds mucho goodwill with those whose pictures you post, and makes them potential readers of your blog because, of course, you would tell them where you’re posting the pic.
If they find out by accident that you’ve posted their pic, they’re gonna think “the recognition’s nice but I really wished he’d have asked me first.”
There are some Creative Commons licences that allow you to post without informing the photographer but it’s just easier to treat everybody the same and seek permission from all of them.
Good advice! Thanks.
