should not be able to exist because WE should be able to do the fancy

some of it at least.
I go back and forth on that - if we can't even agree on categories vs
galleries vs something else, maybe it's just as well that it's not too
visible! :-)
anyone else find their photographs in a home beyond
commons?
Yup, I've been asked for permission (apparently people don't quite
believe the GFDL) for use in various books, although I haven't actually
*seen* any of these books yet... My favorite usage is by the WWF, where
they used my caribou-and-pipeline photo (snapped out the window of a
moving bus!) to illustrate a news article about pipeline leakage,
