The photo galleries.

The galleries are back because I missed them. They look as pretty as they do because of lots of customized code made with the help of Jason Aarons, various web tutorials, and my incredible brilliance. The ugly copyrights through each picture are there because people like to remove credit where credit is due.

Without getting into a lot of what drove me to pull the galleries down in the first place, I would like to point out some new things that you need to be aware of:

1. The photos are now licensed under a Creative Commons license. You can read the legal print here, but in summation: you can use the pictures in the galleries as long as you make clear to others the terms of the license, you can't sell these pictures, you can't edit these pictures in any way, and you MUST give me credit for them. This is a license that will hold up in a court of law.

2. The photos are protected by United States Copyright Law. If you remove my copyright from these pictures, you are breaking United States Federal Law.

I don't mind sharing my pictures. I really don't. I get angry when people remove the credit I'm due for my hard work. It's not a cheap hobby- the tickets to the games, transportation, film developing costs, and the time I spend scanning the prints, and color-correcting for the web... It's time consuming.

It's really simple- if you want to use my pictures, you leave my copyrights and my name on the pictures. End of story. If you can't do that, don't use them. I'd appreciate an e-mail that tells me if you've taken something and posted it elsewhere, because that's the polite thing to do. It should go without saying that if you use something, you need to upload it to your own web space. I do not run a hosting company. I can put you in touch with people who do.

You can read the rest of the SVO terms and conditions here.

You can read about US Copyright here, or you can read a summation of what copyright is here.

You can enter the galleries here. Not all the pictures from last season are up, and not all the pictures from the season before are up. I've only uploaded what I liked, but most of the players who were in Boston from 2002-2004 are included. There are four main albums, and they are organized as such:

-pictures from the 2005-2006 AHL & NHL season.

-pictures from the 2004-2005 AHL season, divided by team (Manchester, Lowell, Providence) and then further divided into sub-albums by player.

-selected pictures from the 2003-2004 season, containing sub-albums by player.

-selected pictures from the 2002-2003 season, containing sub-albums by player.

I felt this was the easiest way to set up the navigation, considering the amount of photos online. The galleries only contain my images. Please be considerate of my hard work.
