Disclaimer

Sometimes I get comments from concerned people who think they have seen my images elsewhere on the Internet. Before jumping to conclusions, please bear in mind that I do submit to other websites outside of deviantArt... over a dozen sites at last count and that number will most likely increase. So I think it's only fair to include this disclaimer for your benefit and convenience.

If you happen to see my photos elsewhere online, look first at the account of the person who posted them. I often go by the username somadjinn or my proper name Nicolas Raymond. Then there's my new baby - www.freestock.ca - my own website for free stock photos.

I have also created an about.me account in case you want to see a list of websites I submit to: [link] If you still think you see my photos elsewhere posted in more suspicious channels, please feel free to let me know. I genuinely appreciate your concern.

On the flip side, I have to admit it's not too pleasant an experience when people assume the opposite and accuse me of art theft completely out of the blue. I have worked very hard to create all these images over the years, and I hope this disclaimer will help to clear up any misunderstandings either way.

Please also note that most of what I offer is stock, with some commercial uses allowed outside deviantArt (see my Stock Rules for more details). So it's perfectly normal if you find my photos in blogs for example, as long as they credit and link back to me. What I'm most concerned about is a small minority of people who would claim my photos as their own and / or seek to exploit them to make a lot of money.

With less time online these days, I might want to post scavenger hunts for Points Rewards. Nothing too complicated, would you be interested?

After all the positive feedback from my latest poll, I want to propose a new game for Points Rewards. My time online these days is limited, but I still want to do my best to interact with my friends on deviantART :)

The object of the game should be simple. Basically, you have to guess what image I'm thinking of from my stock gallery, and the winner at the end gets 100 points. Here are the rules, along with some tips to help you:

:bulletblue: The image in question is located on my website for free stock photos: freestock.ca
:bulletblue: You can only ask Yes or No questions, I will not provide any more details in my answers.
:bulletblue: From the Yes answers, you can use the Search box for keywords on freestock.ca. It could help to narrow down the number of images.
:bulletblue: To avoid spam, each person is limited to one (1) question a day. You are however encouraged to read other questions & answers in this journal to identify the image.
:bulletblue: For every Yes answer, I will award you 10 points as a little bonus.
:bulletblue: You will be able to identify the image immediately because it comes with a unique signature. For every photo preview in freestock.ca, there are details underneath, more specifically a caption that reads Photographer/Artist. The Photographer/Artist in this case is called Shutter Frog
:bulletgreen: Be the first to find the image tagged by Shutter Frog and post a link to it in this journal, you win the prize! =D
:bulletblue: Although you are limited to one (1) question per day, you are allowed to post a link to the image in this journal if you happen to find the image sponsored by Shutter Frog, and you are still eligible to win the prize. 

In a gesture of good faith, I will give you a hint to get things started. The image in question is an actual photograph, so you can already ignore any submissions from the Vectors & Graphic Extras category on freestock.ca. Please also allow me up to 24 hours to reply to your Yes or No questions because I have a lot of things going on in my life these days.

As a new experiment, I designed this game to be relatively easy if you know where to look :) If everything goes well, I look forward to keep posting more games.

Cheers,

Nicolas
