JF asked:
I have 30 black and white pictures I want to get 4×6 prints of. They are mostly of 50’s rockers and some other blues artists. I wanted them to use for an art project but I am afraid almost any site will refuse them because of copyright issues. Anyone know if walmart will print them? If not what other sites might do it?

No, I would hope that they don’t. The Wal-mart near my house is pretty good. They have asked me several times to prove that I am the photographer before they print my photos. I am a pro but I occasionaly will have prints of my son or test prints done there because they are cheap and down the street. I know that this is not what you want to hear but as a pro I like to get paid for my work and am thankfull when people or companies respect my copyright. Copyright laws are there for a reason.
Why are people so ignorant? Listen, if you yourself cannot take images of any valor, please do not resort to stealing from others.
