If you think I'm trying to scare you, you are correct.
Loren, a romance writer, shares a valuable (and expensive) lesson after a photographer asked her to remove his photo and demanded compensation for its use.
Others who have shared Loren's story with some helpful hints about photo resources include:
- August McLaughlin shared Blog Images Made Easy: Tips from a Non-Graphic Artist
- Debbie Maxwell wrote Keep from getting sued for the photos on your blog. She includes two links to free photos.
- Loren shared this a few days after the original post: A Bright Side - Writers Building a Photo Sharing Community
- Updated: Thanks Tonia for sharing this Hugs and Chocolate post with lots of free sites for photos — Sharing is Caring.
What areas should you check on your blog? Guest posts. Blog hop badges. Anything you "just grabbed" from Google Images.
For my Perfect Picture Book Friday posts. I've been operating under the fair use idea that it's a review or criticism. Anyone have any thoughts about using an image of a copyrighted book cover? I'm all ears on this one.

Loren's story is a cautionary tale. If you have photos you are unsure about, remove them from your blog.
