They are for your viewing pleasure!

 I have established a list of Internet heroes who have complied with the terms below and a list of Abusers who haven't.

If you wish to have a copy of one of my photographs to use in a screensaver, stick on your fridge or use in a school project please feel free to contact me. I will provide you with a high quality photo. Mass reproduction of this image is prohibited.  It is for your personal use only.

If you have a personal home page or non-commercial Web Site, please feel free to use my photographs with a hyperlinked credit on every page where one of my photos appears. Acceptable HTML is:

photograph(s) courtesy of <a href="http://www.alaskanartifacts.com/">Joel Castanza</a>

That way people know who took the picture and also can find my on-line copyright statement. You do not need to pay for usage. Just build the best Web site you can and give it back to the community.

1. register the URL with me (sending email is fine)

2. add the hyperlinked credit as above (on every page where a photo appears)

Possible payment for usage may be determined when permission is granted, although I reserve the right to deny usage on any site.

If you would like to distinguish yourself from the get-rich-quick artists looking to make a fast buck off the Internet without contributing anything back to the community and you feel that my photography enhances your site, then please make a charitable donation to www.theaaca.com
