gambling related photos

gamblingIRE

Hi folks, first visit to this subforum, so please be gentle with me:)

I am the webmaster of an irish gambling web-site [gambling-ireland dot com] (it's my hobby at the mo, and might yield a few quid to see me thru my phd). I was wondering if any of you photographers might have any gambling-related images (to which you hold the copyright) - which I might use and manipulate for my forum banner (or indeed any pics of irish gambling-events in general!]

I will happily give credit to the photographer in question, and it might be nice to see your work on the www? comments/thoughts/suggestions appreciated - I cannot find any nice royalty free images which take my fancy...

anyway please feel free to contact me if you are interested, or wish to tell me that I am an idiot for peddaling the devils' vices!

It my experience of gamblers and gamling (a long trip to Las Vegas and moving there soon), gamblers don't enjoy having cameras and photographers in and around them.

You might have an easier time on the whole sitting some people down in a casino/gamling setting and have a professional photograph them. Besides which, you're a commercial interest and you're turning up on a board where people are paticularly touchy about the intellectual properties of their photos and asking for a handout in exchange for credit.

Then again, I have allowed for photos of mine to be printed in Germany for little more than a link back to my site.

So the best of luck to you.

Fajitas!
