| Probably one the most famous Ma & Pa RR Pictures ever taken. |
Where is this?
It's 1943 and the country is at war. Allied victories are turning the tide of the war and America's industries and the country's railroads, big and small, are doing their part. The Maryland & Pennsylvania RR (Affectionately known as The Ma & Pa) might not have been as busy as the big RRs, still played its part in contributing to the eventual Allied victory. Come and see this all relived again as I build an HO scale version of The Ma & Pa, 1943.
Delta?
ReplyDeleteI worry about your use of copyrighted photos. Last week's question was first in 'Trains' and is copyrighted by Kalmbach. It was used in the Ma&Pa 'Timetable (twice) with permission. My photographer's print by James P. Gallagher in this week's question is clearly marked with the copyright symbol. And It is also under the copyright of Gallagher's book 'Trackside Maryland' where the full image appears across pages 4 and 5. Dick Bradley
ReplyDeleteWhere do start? I guess first, I do not make money on this blog and only do this as an educational activity promoting my layout and the Ma & Pa RR, and the society. Hopefully people would participate in the little quiz each week, learn something, and maybe gain enough interest in joining the society. I realize, yes pictures do have copyrights, and last week's photo, though not specifically asking permission to post it, was credited by Art Kuperstein to a photo by Wm. Moedinger, c. 1940. with location being Bryansville, Pa. I guess this is going to be a problem and I'm going to have to come up with a way to make this work or rethink doing "Where is this Wednesdays".
ReplyDeleteTed, as your friend (and a published author), I think (or maybe I should say believe) that as long as you provide PHOTOGRAPHER credit when first posting (as long that doesn't "give it away"), and then once guessed correctly, the SOURCE credit, you "should" be OK, at least you are in my book. As you know, I take issues like this seriously Ted, so in other words, I'm not seeing a problem with what you are doing as long as you do that. ESPECIALLY since as you said, you are NOT making money off this. And if there isn't credit to give, just say so, it's that simple. I think MOST people will view that as performing your "due dilligence" and leave it at that, it's the ones with "conspiracy/piracy theories" running around their heads that'll give you a hard time.
ReplyDeleteI consider Dick a good friend in the hobby and I don't take his opinions lightly, and I give them great thought when he gives them to me. He's provided me with countless photos without restrictions through the past couple of years to help me with my research and modeling projects. I'm looking into a few options on how to do this with Ralph's suggestion being one way, and I've also contacted the societies archivist to see if he can help get me some pictures to use for the Where is this Wednesday feature. Also, maybe Art could help me out with this too.
