[Sca-cooks] Photos for my blog

[Elaine Koogler]

The rule we use with SCA publications is that if the article in question
belongs to someone else (museum, living history organization, whatever),
even if you take the photo of it, you must have permission from whoever owns
the item.  If it is a picture of an artifact from a book, a picture you did
not take, you must have permission from whomever holds the copyright to that
publication...the publisher or the author.  If the picture is one you took
of someone doing something (cooking, weaving, etc.) then you should have
permission from that person to publish the photo of them.
