Hi Simon;

Understand your dilemma & frustrations re copyright. No doubt this is exacerbated
by the public acceptance of a digital image with less than 500kb of data as being as having sufficient detail to satisfy their needs. Thus leading to the "poaching" of digital images from one site to another rather than utilising "back scratching" links.

Have you seen Ctein's thoughts on "copyrights & copywrongs" on his Gallery @ www.ctein.com ? (he is a "master colour dye printer" = have his book "Post Exposure")

Although I'm not in your league as a Rock Climber/Photographer (& unlikely to ever be !)
I shoot around 500 rolls/year of 35mm/MF & 100 x shts of LF. However I enjoy sharing = pass most of my images on gratis except for "special business commisions" (weddings/ studio work). Admire your work, read your interview & agree that the only way to get "good shots" (in all light conditions) is to be prepared to carry heavy gear whilst on the end of a rope !
