 Think of the residuals you passed up ... The SASE is a great idea, and one more thing to make people think you're legit and not a weirdo.  |   
 
 The ones I have are actually printed on ticket type, I tear off a strip with my name and information. Again like handing out a business card, but I really like the SASE too never thought of that |

		carol..there are a few legal problems with your release, wording-wise. You may consider changing it to what has been suggested in this thread, or if you really like it, I can help you fix the most glaring issues. :)

 Hi, I took the wording from  an on-line example, but please all help is help :-) |

		(meant this to post to another thread...)
 If you really want to get the low-down on your rights as a photographer, you might want to check out 'Legal Handbook for Photographers' by Bert P Krages, Esq from Amherst Media. It covers EVERYTHING from privacy and tresspassing to wildlife endangerment and national security. 
 
 Check it out at //www.krages.com/lhp.htm.
 
 I'm not kidding.  The stuff this guy arms you with can really give you a lot more confidence about the consequences when you pop the shutter...

 It doesn't mention it, and by the omission, I assume it is only relevant to US law ?

		I use:
 
 //www.brianstanback.com/release.pdf
 
 It's pretty short but the wording is somewhat harsh; I'd rather be safe than sorry though. I've had some people turn it down, but I always manage to find willing participants (a little cash offer never hurts). |
