I had an awesome, if exhausting, time at ILHC last weekend. I did double-duty as a DJ and photographer, and I've just put my photos on Flickr.

I've decided to make prints available for purchase (5x7 for $8) with all profits going to the Lindy Hopper's Fund, an amazing charitable organization started by the equally amazing Tena Morales and others. I've decided to do this with all of my Lindy Hop photography - if you'd like a print, just let me know!

The big question that remains is that the vast majority of requests have been for digital copies of photos, not prints. My original stance was prints-only, as that would allow the most control over how photos are distributed, but I'm trying to figure out a fair way to allow folks to purchase hi-res digital files. Charging the same $8 for a hi-res file doesn't seem fair since you can use that file and just print it out yourself an unlimited number of times. Would people be willing to pay more for a hi-res file - say, $20? Is it reasonable to include terms of use (include a photo credit & link online, have permission of the subjects before using commercially) of the digital file as well?

Anyone have any suggestions or input?
