Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- NEWSP_100619_01.JPG: 2010 Breaking News: River Rescue:
During a couple's summer outing on the Des Moines River, their boat drifted over a dam, hurling them into the rolling waters below. Firefighters couldn't reach Patricia Ralph-Neely, 67, who was being sucked under by a powerful current.
Des Moines Register photographer Mary Chind was watching from a crowded riverbank where she'd dropped off a camera lens for a colleague. Suddenly, she saw a construction crane moving toward the dam. Construction worker Jason Oglesbee was being lowered into the river. Using a 300 mm telephone lens -- shorter than ideal -- Chind braced her elbows and got a clear image. She focused on Ralph-Neely's hand. "Her hand was outstretched, and he got ahold of her forearm," Chind said. Ralph-Neely was lifted to safety.
Ralph-Neely's husband, Alan, drowned that day, and Chind is sensitive about celebrating her award when "something tragic has happened to somebody in our hometown." After Chind won the Pulitzer, she was touched by a congratulatory note from Ralph-Neely telling her, "At least one of us was in the right place that day."
- NEWSP_100619_13.JPG: 2010 Feature: American Soldier:
Two days after enlisting in the US Army, 18-year-old Ian Fisher was having second thoughts. Fisher had signed up for combat after the 2007 troop surge in Iraq, and he had agreed to let Denver Post photographer Craig F Walker chronicle his journey from high school to deployment.
The teenager was waiting to talk to his commander at Fort Benning, GA, while cradling an injured elbow that he saw as a possible way out. Walker framed a shot that captured what the photographer called Fisher's "love-hate relationship with the Army." Minutes later, the recruit "had a real heart-to-heart with his commander" and decided to move on to basic training. "After every down that Ian has, he always comes back," Walker said.
Walker spent 27 months photographing Fisher as he matured from hard-partying teen to infantryman in Iraq, and overcame drug abuse, a demotion and a broken engagement. Through it all, Fisher never asked the photographer to put his camera down. Said Walker, "This story put a real human face on what's happened since 9/11."
