General Stock Discussion / Re: Stamps as hot selling stock photos?
« on: November 10, 2008, 08:21 »
Your welcome Susan. I collect US mnh, but before 1920 is mixed U (used), mnh and mh (mint hinged) , PNC's (plate number coils) and a massive world wide collection. Recently I began collecting US digital color postmark first day covers.


"As most of my collection is space/astronomy related, I've already anticipated a keywording nightmare.  I'll be sure to take the appropriate medication (a stiff shot of bourbon or single malt) before I start that bit.  groan!!
An added note is the reproduction of a stamp must be used"

For a long time at IS the keywording was easy, but lately things have become weird I have received some keyword rejections that don't make sense like" postage stamp" or a Christmas stamp with Mother Mary and Baby Jesus  with the keywords rejected "Jesus, Mary" I don't know, maybe am wrong, but I don't understand. lol
Good Luck, If I can be of help let me know.

I have been photographing stamps for about a year now and some do sell well. I have been collecting stamps for about 45 yrs so I have a nice collection. Now as far as copyright goes, just because a stamp is canceled does not mean it's not protected by copyright laws and every country is different. United States stamps are public domain up to January 1 1978. Thats when United Postal Service ran by the government went public and became United States Postal Service. All stamps after the January date are copyrighted and owned by the USPS. On the safe side majority of stamps with 13c denomination or lower are public domain. But to be sure it is good to check a stamp catalogue. The photos linked above the ones that I have checked of US stamps are copyrighted Images.
Here is a link to use as a guide

I upload to my computer when the card is full, unless I need the photos right away and then format.
I always carry at least one backup battery and recharge the battery only when it is completely drained.
 My understanding is the less you format and recharge the longer the card and battery last.

Computer Hardware / Re: Tablet problem :( Help!

Maybe this will help. Is the tablet connected to your motherboard usb port on the back of the case  or is it connected to a usb hub. If it's connected to a hub try connecting it directly to your motherboard.

That would be great.
Thanks

I tried to sign up but my city is not listed.  I live in Holtsville, New York, USA.  Also when I went to select a state there are many selections that are wrong and not states. I think it would be much easier to type where you live then to select a city. So I could not sign up. Help would be appreciated. Thanks
