There are several photographers who consistently post photo’s that I find remarkable. These are photo’s I would love to have hanging on my walls. What are thoughts about using fellow UHH photo’s for personal display in my home—not for pecuniary gain, just for my enjoyment. And, given that, modifying them minimally, i.e., perhaps going from color to monochrome.
Someone gave that answer:

I dare to hope this a joke because frankly this is the wrong answer at so many levels!!!Don't ask, don't tell.
How about:
"Ask the person who posted the image you want to use???"
To seemingly encourage folks to just use someone else's image w/o permission is simply wrong.

Oh for god's sake; yes it was a joke. Now, please go back to the thread and read my real answer 🙄

BTW, the phrase popped into my head because of this:
"Don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) was the official United States policy on military service by gays, bisexuals, and lesbians, instituted by the Clinton Administration on February 28, 1994, when Department of Defense Directive 1304.26 issued on December 21, 1993, took effect, lasting until September 20, 2011.
I served in the U.S. Navy from 1971 - 1979 and 1982 - 1993. I believe the practice of don't ask/don't tell (without the catchy phrasing) began long before 1994.

I was a recruiter during part of the 1970's. I don't remember if we were instructed to ask about homosexuality, but it must have been on questionnaires the applicants had to fill out. I do remember we were supposed to say: "When was the last time you used marijuana?" Apparently it's harder to lie when asked that way than "Have you ever used marijuana?" Thank you for explaining. Clinton did put DADT into effect.

Linda, Yes, the question was on applications, and the doctor asked each time military personnel got a physical. Each time I had to lie. I was even afraid to let the VA know that my partner was not really my sister for fear of losing my military benefits. DADT was meant to prevent that, but instead the witch hunts picked up, and more LBGT people were forcibly discharged. I cried tears of joy when the SCOTUS made their decision of marriage equality.

Thank you for sharing this, Dana. I'm not sure I remembered you were in the military. I had close friends in Maine who were heartened by the state passing a same-sex marriage law in 2009, but a later referendum negated it. However, in 2012 the bill passed and stuck, making Maine one of the first states if I recall correctly.

So much hatred in the world...

Basically if you dont want people printing your pic, dont post it. That's here or anywhere else.
Personally I think it's a compliment.
Taking the pic and posting as your own is a different story.

I'll give a buck to anyone who will print any of my photos and hang them in their house! Two bucks if you show it to your friends. Three bucks if you post it on social media!

If you put an image up on the internet such that anyone can view it, you should be comfortable with the possibility that someone may save a copy to their hard drive without informing you and then use it in some manner - as a screen saver, to print out and hang on their wall, to practice image editing, or use as a visual guide for a painting or drawing project.
If you absolutely don't want people using your images in any way without your consent, you probably should refrain from putting them on the internet for all to see. The same goes for text, video and audio clips. By uploading media to the internet such that it is publicly accessible, you are essentially giving the public access to it... at least for private, non-commercial use.
