  FINAL THOUGHTS:

- Don't EVER take images from search engines like Google and resubmit them as resources.
- Don't EVER use celebrity photography for making resources, signature etc..
- Works placed on the internet do not have to carry a copyright symbol for them to be copyrighted!
- If the Terms of Use you need to follow do not allow a certain use, you can't use it.
That includes the use in pre-made backgrounds, cut-out stock etc..
- It doesn't matter if you put work into your manip' and it doesn't matter if it's "just for fun" and "no profit is made".

Remember, the copyright holder has the right to say NO & they have the right to be credited if they say so.</sub>

#1 My Most Frequently asked question:

_{Q: Where do you get all the vintage photos from?
A: Well sometimes you're lucky and a collection falls into your hands, either from a relation or a friend, or someone you know offhand. I have also purchased many from online, and from antique shops in real life. My collection is vast, and has been waiting to be uploaded for years, it takes some time indeed, as you can perhaps imagine. Also, a lot of them you can find from online, news groups and various places, most of them are public domain. I decided to upload and share my collection for those of you who can't be bothered doing all the hunting yourself, which is fine.
It all began with a collection of vintage photographs, some signed by British Music Hall entertainers, and managers; that belonged to my late grandma. My love of collecting stems from the desire to find out more about the life my  great grandparents lived, in the British Music Hall/Vaudeville industry.}
