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_130605_01.JPG: 2013 Breaking News: A Son's Sorrow:
Photographer Rodrigo Abd found the story of the Syrian civil war in the face of a child.
At a graveyard in the rebel stronghold of Idlib, Abd joined mourners who came to bury husbands and fathers killed by government troops. As family members wailed, Adb photographed a grief-stricken boy in the crowd. The boy's name was Ahmed, and his father had been killed by a sniper.
Government troops began closing in on Idlib. Fearing he would be captured or killed, Abd crept in the darkness past government checkpoints to flee to safety in Turkey.
Adb was one of five Associated Press photographers who shared the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage in Syria. "For me, it was really important to put a face on the casualties," he said. "How they suffer, how they cry because of this conflict."
- NEWSP_130605_14.JPG: 2013 Feature: Inside a Sniper's Nest:
In the brutal Syrian war, snipers and tanks control the streets. Both sides rely heavily on snipers to spot and pin down the enemy. In Aleppo, freelance photographer Javier Manzano hoped he would not be a target as he darted across the streets and alleys. "I put my head down and ran," he said.
Manzano entered a dark room thick with dust. Shafts of sunlight shone through bullet holes in the metal walls of the sniper's nest. Two Syrian rebel soldiers were on alert, one poised to fire.
While in Syria, Manzano witnessed children "split in half by mortar shells" and civilians killed in a town square bombed by government planes. "These are images I do not want to revisit," he said. "You should not have to see the same massacre happening over and over again for two years."

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
