Re: 100 Favorite Irises - LATIN LOVER

Hi Laurie,

I love the picture you took of LL. Do you take photos professionally?

I really appreciate you sending me a photo to use on the website.  That was
very nice.

Unfortunately, I cannot do ANYTHING with that website.  I have lost my user
ID and/or Password and cannot get any help from the powers that be to access
that site.

When I first created that page, I was new to AIS, and fairly new to the
Internet.  I did not feel at that time that you had to get permission from
anyone to reuse any pictures they post on the internet if it did not have a
COPYRIGHT on the photo itself.  So, many of those pictures were used without
permission from the owners.

There was a lengthy discussion on iris-talk regarding Copyrights and
procedures necessary to reuse other people's photos that "showed me the way"
so to speak and changed my mind.

I was going to delete the site, but for some reason I could not get access.
Either the USER ID or PASSWORD was incorrect.  I have tried EVERY variation
of both to try to gain access and delete the site, with no luck.  I wrote
GEOCITIES, which is now YAHOO I believe and told them of the predicament and
all they wrote me back was a URL of where to go if you forget your Password
or User ID.  I had already been to that site repeatedly, and wrote them back
stating such.  I received no reply.

So therefore, there is nothing I can do with that site, and it is therefore
lost out in Cyber Space I guess.

I am forwarding this to everyone on Iris-Talk to help urge everyone NOT to
pass the URL to that site on to anyone. Many of the photos used there were
pirated unfairly and upset a lot of the original photographers who have seen
their work on that page.  My apologies once again to them...

This page keeps coming back to bite me.  I thought I was doing something
neat and informative at the time I created it - I created what I (as an AIS
newbie) wanted to see.  It is one thing to go to a website that listed the
top 100 favorite irises, but I wanted to see the pictures of what those
irises looked like, and I assumed others did too.

:(   P~

> Hi Patrick,

I've had your 100 Favorite Irises webpage bookmarked for a while now,
studying
pics in anticipation of seeing some of the same irises blooming in my own
garden.  I am now finally able to see and photograph some of these irises
now, and I thought you might have an interest in one of my pics which I
have attached to this email.  At any rate, take a look at my pic
and feel free to use it on your site if you feel it is a more accurate
representation of LATIN LOVER.
