About my pictures

"Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film."    — Stephen Wright.

I, Guillaume Dargaud, am the author of all the photographs present on this web site (with a few noted exceptions). Some of the background drawings come from the Sharp End Graphics Page or the Microsoft Clip Art gallery. For the satellite NOAA pictures the Copyright is somewhat vague, it was supposed to be public access, but the rules changed in 2000. With a few noted exceptions, all the JPGs are mine and here's what you can do with them:

Right: A penguin taking a pause for a photographer


On the lighter side, several people asked me recently to use my penguin pictures for misc Linux related activities (themes, ads...). That's fine, I'm getting to use Linux more and more myself when reliability is on the line (Gentoo and Knoppix) and it battles the forces of Evil (although I still use Win2000 for day to day activity). Just let me know about what you do with the pics.
