You have my support Keith.Ringo ~ please play it cool otherwise this entire "Gallery" may be deleted and I've already put far too much hard work into it so far
Thank you SP,
This thread will NOT be deleted,
but any inflammatory off-topic comments may well be.
We have asked to draw a line under this argument.
If this continues publicly, we will have no alternative but to delete all the posts, relating to this.
Will all concerned, please take note of our Community Standards,
three of which are applicable here, and we ask that you adhere to them

Please can we have your support
OK, we all need to simmer down on this one,
and not now let a continuing argument be aired in thread.
The point taken that SP should have been contacted privately
is hardly helped, by going public.
We suggested that SP re-instate his images,
unless their were complaints from the copyright owners,
of which then, we would have to, as a forum take action.
However this is not the case, and MartyB2,
should also not be vilified publicly,
for making after all, a statement of fact.
Can we therefore gentlemen, draw a line under this and move on
Both valid points which I hadn't even considered before. The Net is abolutely flooded with tens of millions of random images such as this and most of which the original artist/contributor is not even cited. Had I known about Mr. Timmons's web site and the body of original work he's created, I would never have included my own "interpretation" and posted it on here and for that I do apologize.
I will gladly remove this post and any other of my "restoration" posts that JWMB decides is not appropriate. Also, no "credit name" at all will appear on any future postings of mine
This is a wonderful web site and I certainly don't want to "muck" it up. Thanks once again to both of you for the heads-up.
Thank you for your reply.
We would also point out, that we are not suggesting you remove the images already posted,
but rather you credit the work, if known,to the original artist/ photogapher.
I agree that we all use images from the 'net', but we are not editing them, and then claiming the work.
I think we just need to to clarify this in order to avoid any complaints or copyright issues.
Thank you for you support and effforts, and hope that you continue to be a valued member of this forum
It is one thing to manipulate movie stills and call it "restoration", it is another thing entirely to manipulate existing copyrighted art work and put your name on it. While I have enjoyed your photo to art postings...as an artist myself I cannot help but be put off by you putting your name on Rick Timmons work....
Thank you for your concern regarding this.
We at the JWMB are always aware of copyright,
and always strive, if possible to name the source of our
information.
It is an issue that Sterling Price will need to address,
and of course if any complaints of copyright infringement are received.
we will have no alternative but to delete any offending images.
Thanks again, for your 'sterling' effort,
for sharing these images with us.
Thanks for posting these, fascinating images
