In most cases, the pictures are not an end in itself and the material, illustrated pictures – It is a story about an interesting place, of monuments, event or project. This is a complete electronic online journal, with a bonus in the form of free photos.

Author of all the materials in the magazine until one – it's me. Stanislav Ostranica – youngish and quite a healthy, as yet, amateur photographer.

The idea was born long ago Site, when looking into the archive, I found a lot of pictures, remaining from various publications Photostok. So it turns out, what you're doing several takes, and do not download anything. Here are, and delete them sorry. So the idea to share your photos with the world. At the time, often had to look for photos to illustrate articles, reviews, for use in design. And all you had to pay or….. Well, you understand 😉 Then, and I had the idea – for free and without claims. Such projects already exist, but we. Demands on our resources, if you do not pay, the attribution.

You can use photos, as a personal, and for commercial purposes to create their own works, or as part of some work. Although the license CC BY-SA 4.0 authorship indicated, but when you use photos from this site, it's not obligatory. At first, I had the idea of ​​transferring all photos, as a free domain, but not so long ago, I found, Some photos, featured on a few resources, our cunning companions decided to sell, not bothering to even the slightest change in their. In my opinion it is not correct. I.e, If the checkbox is checked and the icon on the page: Creative Commons License, the, this means all photos in this material is being distributed under license Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0).
  2. If the mark is not, the photos are laid out quite freely licensed – Creative Commons CC0 for free use. In this case, you can download and use photos without links and attribution..

This street photography, which is clearly visible faces, objects, copyrighted. I do not recommend their use to create their own works. It's not in my greed, but the people, the objects and rights themselves 🙂 . for example – Online photos will be posted with rallies, marches, demonstrations, where famous people visible. You can use the photo, downloaded from this site, As an illustration of events, but to use the well-known photograph of a man in his work, I do not advise, without obtaining permission from himself – can be a problem.

These photos can not be used for commercial purposes – To do this, you must obtain permission from the model itself – model release.
