HUMMINGBIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
How Others Are Using My Photographs
Date: 19 Jan 2012 Hi, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 13 Apr 2010 Dear Wayne, We are doing an educational display on hummingbirds (commemorating International Migratory Bird Day) at our annual Children's Fair on May 15, 2010, here in Quincy, CA. I would like permission to use one of your photos of an Anna's hummingbird in our display. Please let me know if that would be OK with you. Of course, we will give credit to your work. Thanks! Michele Jimenez-Holtz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 23 Mar 2008 I found your Argus pheasant photos on a search. I am an artist, carving an argus and would like to reference your photos in my presentation for an educational seminar at an upcoming show. Jeff Krete ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 9 Aug 2006Dear Mr. Owen, On behalf of the Arboretum at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I would like to thank you for the use of your hummingbird photographs. The pictures were utilized in a brochure and in a display for the building. The photographs provided a strong focal point to capture people's attention, I appreciate your permission to use them. The Arboretum staff, Paula Garrett and Susan Jones, have been working on plant markers for the Xeriscape Garden, a newsletter, and a brochure series to inform the public of the Arboretum assets and accomplishments. Your photographs are being used as an example to others as one way to contribute and add value to the UNLV Arboretum. Once again, thank you for your generosity. Sincerely, Klaus J. Stetzenbach, Ph.D. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 14 Sep 2005 Mr. Owen, I am putting together a brochure on hummingbirds in our Xeric Garden and would like to use 3 of your photos for the brochure if possible: 01417Costasscx.jpg, 011023sqlsx.jpg, 040128costassx.jpg Although our main focus is the plants of the Xeric Garden, we would like to have brochures about some of our garden residents for visitors. The garden is adjacent to the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History so the majority of the visitors to the garden are visiting the museum and wander through the garden while there. Your name will be printed on each picture to give credit. Would it be alright to use your photos? Thanks!

Hello,
We are featuring a story on the Audubon
Society's Strawberry Plains hummingbird sanctuary in our next issue. Would
you be willing to let us use some of your photos in our story? We will of
course give you photo credit. Please visit our website to see our
publication (www.desotomag.com). I look forward to hearing from you.

I saw your hummingbird photos on your
hummingbird website and wondered if I could use one or two for a column I am
writing about them.
I write a monthly garden column for the La Jolla
Village News and my August column will feature information about these tiny
creatures and how to plant a garden that will attract them.
We will give you full credit for the
photographs.
Sincerely,
Linda Marrone
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 06 Jun 2005 Mr. Owen, My name is Jody Wilson and I work for Quail Unlimited (a national non-profit for the conservation of Quail) and I am looking for a few photos of humming birds for an article that was submitted for publication in our magazine. I came across your website and really like your pictures. I wanted to ask if you would be willing to allow us to use a few of your photos in our magazine. I will make sure proper credit is given and will supply you with a couple of copies of the magazine when printed. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 01 Apr 2005 Mr. Owen, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 27 Fed 2005 Wayne, I'm preparing a proposal on bio-inspired sensors
for the National Science Foundation. I happened upon your images in the
Hummingbird Society photo gallery and subsequently went to your web page.
Your images and screen saver are wonderful. Thanks in advance for you consideration of my request. Alison Flatau ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 14 Feb 2005 Hello, I am an art director for a healthcare communications agency. I am interested in licensing a photo of a hummingbird for use in an advertising campaign. Would it be possible to purchase a high resolution photo for this usage? Thank you, Chris Feifer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1 Nov 2004 Your pictures are fantastic. I am an elementary education student. Could I have your permission to use some photos for a webquest and other educational purposes? Janet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 16 Oct 2004 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 9 Sep 2004 Hello, I discovered your beautiful website while seeking out a photo of a hummingbird to use in a science education kit for students. I work for a Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts and I was hoping that I could download and print a single copy of one of your photographs to use for the students. I would, of course, give all due credit. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you. Great site!!! Sincerely, Melissa

Date: 28 Feb 2003 The pictures on your website are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I am requesting permission to use your pictures in my PowerPoint presentation for my professors. I will give you and your site credit on every presentation slide that includes photos from your collection. My presentation is strictly non-profit (it's homework) and I believe it would greatly enhance my presentation. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much! Sincerely, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: 09 Jul 2002 My name is Rusty Trump and I do programs and talks on
hummingbirds in Georgia. I volunteer my time to two non-profit organizations dedicated
to educating the public and promoting hummingbirds. I have a lot of images of hummers, but I am missing a few western species to round out my talks. I
am seeking your permission to use a couple of your images of Costa's and Anna's in my talks. The images will not be used in any way commercially and only
to educate the public in talks at garden clubs, bird clubs, nurseries, and at schools. Please let me know if I could have your permission for this
purpose. I will give you the proper credit for any photos displayed. If you have any questions feel free to let me know! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 24 May 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 11 Apr 2002 Dear Wayne, I visited your homepage and saw your marvelous pictures of the hummingbirds. Since I am looking for a
suitable picture of a flying hummingbird for an ad at my company, I'd like to
ask you for permission to use your picture free of charge. Would you please give
me permission to use it? Best regards and thank you for
all your help. Dietmar Blumrich BHS-Cincinnati BHS-Cincinnati Getriebetechnik

Anna's photographs and am very impressed with the beautiful pictures. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
