Thanks for your reply. I'm happy that in this case Bob Bogle is dead so no one is going to reproduce my photo with an autograph!

I have many great photos on Flickr and I'm always waiting for someone or some agency to ask for reproduction rights. Years go by and nothing.

I was asked by a British fellow for permission to include my photos of The Ventures in his small music magazine. I gave him the right and sent him copies of my photos. In return, 'cause payment was out of the question for his small amount of subscribers, he sent me a copy of the magazine and I was thrilled enough.

I had a funny moment a few weeks back when I saw someone had taken the photo I'd taken of Bishop in Milwaukee and posted it on Instagram (which I'm not on but check for updates, as I run a Twitter fan account). I was briefly a bit miffed, until I realized that the poster was actually one of her band members.

I've contacted several photographers in just the last few weeks. Some for information, some for identification, and some for use/custom prints. And yes as you say, simply asking often leads to a "yes" :)

This came up earlier in this thread, and in another someone had some NOT Howard Hughes photos and was trying to exert full control over copy images.

I just send an invoice to the head of whatever. Every day. Never failed me. I saw a book frontis piece stolen from a design of mine by a Nat'l Museum. Invoiced the museum director every day - have fun - increase the number... You'' get paid. At least double your normal usage fee. I hope your situation resolved.
