My garter pic got on a sign...

[Brian Hubbs]

without my permission, but we're resolving that problem right now...

Original image taken in San Mateo county, CA in 2005


Sign:


Two other signs like this can be found at Ano Nuevo State park in CA. The rangers aren't quite sure who stole my image from the California Herps website:

Thamnophis sirtalis tetrataenia - San Francisco Gartersnake

Interesting.

If it the photo wasn't copyrighted when you posted it ((c) Brian Hubbs 2005) you're probably going to be out of luck. I see no copyright.

For all the state knew, you copied it from somewhere else. I'd think it's going be laborious on your part proving it's "yours."

The photo on the website is copyrighted. Click on the link, then click on the photo at that site and you'll see. The park does not dispute that the photo is mine. They are taking steps to give me credit and hopefully send me a sign.

[Brian Hubbs]

There, I changed the photo to the copyrighted image.

I would feel honored!

That sign would be quite a trophy.

[Garter_Gertie]

Well! Lucky you! Happy happy, joy joy!

[Brian Hubbs]

LOL! I was very flattered.

Oh that's very cool indeed!! I'd want a sign too... in fact, I DO want a sign-- tell the park service they must send us ALL one!!! LOL :-)
