What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Washington.
My Dad collected ship photographs, and organized them
into albums. Each album is dedicated to a type of vessel or by
shipping company. For example, The Blue Star Line, has a photo of
every ship that company owned. My Dad annotated each photo with the vital statistics of each vessel, name, date launched, horsepower and so forth.
I have discovered I can fetch $50 to $75 for the few I have "tested"
on eBay. But then it occurred to me, why sell one album for $50, when
I can create a Virtual Album on a CDROM, and sell it for $29.95 times
whatever! And make some money for my efforts. So far so good, yes?
Now to the nut of the problem. The VAST MAJORITY of photos has only
the name of the vessel, and perhaps date of photo on the back. That's it. Some have "Reproduce only with credit to ......", some have the
photographers "Name and Address" stamped on the back, and some are copyrighted.
How does the status of each photo affect my plan to create for sale
to the public at large, the digitized version of my Dad's albums? One thought I had was to simply avoid the copyrighted photos, and digitize the rest. Robert
