Golden footprints gently fade, while golden memories last a lifetime.
Let me know if you need a high res one. Actually, I intitially called this one Footsteps on Golden Sands but, if these guys are in the image business the memories thing would probably apply better.
You can crop some of the black to fit the mug dimensions.
It is ok to use these images for this specific application and also to include my name along the image if you do find that you can use either of them.
I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

If at all possible, can my name appear somewhere as a credit/copyright? I haven't read all of the posts here, so forgive me if it's already been answered.
Everyone: these are GREAT and I so appreciate the response at short notice. I'll be preparing pics until 8 tonight Pacific Time so maybe I'll get 20ish with quotes?
Question: what's the legality of having an image of a well-known persona or product on something like this where we place our brand on it?
You are more than welcome to browse my galleries and use any photos you might deem worthy. One of my favorites is this one of the flamingo I posted a while back-
One from our Smugmug Yosemite trip -
A local rural scene on a back country road -
Our cat Emmie Lou-
An Easter Lily -
My grandson getting sprayed by a hose last summer -
A father and his sons coming in to shore from a day of fishing on the Kings River -
El Capitan in Yosemite (from a previous trip there)
Let me know what specs you need (such as, do you need the quote already printed on the photo? What size photos and what resolution? Anything else?). You are welcome to use any photos you like (my name in [small] print under the photos would pretty cool). My favorite quote is the one I use for my signature, but it's not photo specific.
Feel free to use any of my photos that might fit the need, if any of them will work.
Cheers!

I would NOT use anything that isn't model released. Property, if they're on the list as requiring releases, you'd be taking your legal life in your hands. Most property isn't subject to that. If you're using it for commercial gain, then you can't use famous people, I think. Bert Krages Legal Handbook For Photographers is a good source.
Baldy, I put type on my photos, the correct size I think. When I woke up, I thought, oh darn, what did I do? About 3 AM, I start to thinking I am a good photographer, bar none. No, I don't drink.
I do have the same photos avail, without type, but I have to leave for awhile.
I don't know what time I will be back.
Please leave me a message if you need my stuff changed, or whatever, PM me or leave the message here.
I see some really good stuff offered. I just went through my hard drive and looked. I tried not to use complicated shots, I do have a few dynamite photos, just did not think they were mug photos, and what is dyanamite to me......etc.
I tried to mix it up. I know the guy, the one kite surfing, a release is no problem.
I wish I were going to be here this afternoon, or that I had never started being involved.
As a note on fame.
Barnes and Noble will no longer let me photograph, ANYTHING, as I was photographing a photo, a good photo, on a book re Johnny Cash. They implied I was breaking copyright laws on purpose. I was just trying to get the feel of books, for no reason whatsoever.
That might give you an idea, though, re releases. On the famous. I don't know who you are talking about, it would kind of help to "know" your person. Some people are not going to go to the work to sue..........it is work. famous people do it to prove a point. Then they would get an article written on them attacking a nice company like smugmug, etc. Just MHO. I am too scared, and I break many rules.......but I am scared, especially when it comes to kids.
I have those, too. But I didn't think of my family last night, and they would have been safe. I would not go heavily on family of others unless very good. I don't, personally, and others don't, really care that much about other people's kids. They might be cute and all, but not with my coffee.
Also, the gender angle, people will/ could be taking mugs home for wife, partner, etc.

Question: what's the legality of having an image of a well-known persona or product on something like this where we place our brand on it?
Don't know the answer. I've used this shot for my own promo because it was shot at a very public event and it isn't showcasing any particular name, logo, etc. And anyway, I'm a tiny fish compared to a big fish like smugmug!
I could do some photoshop work and replace all the logos with smugmug "grins"?? Nah, I guess that would really be bad . . .
What if this were a Nascar shot with tons of brand names, or an "Andy" NYC street shot with a fedex truck somewhere in the frame? And aren't certain landmarks protected? Maybe El Capitan requires natl park permission .
Baldy, have fun choosing. LOTS of great shots have been posted.

Not permissable, unfortunately. As Lynnsite says... models are releases needed for recognizable faces/figures. Can't use brands without a release. If the shot was taken on private property, need a location release.
These images are being for commercial gain, and so are subject to the most extreme rights restrictions.

Okay, great. I got a bunch in email and PMs too, so I don't have to take any legal risks, got plenty to choose from. Andy turned over his portfolio and he's got some great stuff. Don't think people know seemorg much yet (1 post) but I've chosen a few of his too.

This one in particular is easier to see in the white style, lower left, since the mugs will be white and there's a 1px black border on this one.
Also, someone mentioned the text not being centered. Good point but the reason is there's about a half-inch white space to one side of the image between it and the handle.
I'll chime in...
I agree with Seymore about the photog name placement, but suggest you might put it to next to the photo at the bottom right side rather than under the Smugmug logo. You might also want to center the type on the white area (or put it closer to the photo...the mugs can't be that large, !).
Photos of people can be used if their identities are not recognizable (as in silhouette or they are soooo small you can't tell even with a magnifying glass). However, feel free to use my photo of my grandson (or any others of him you'd like) as I can get you a model release for him (and give you permission to use his likeness as well). I'd always thought that people in public events (such as sports, parades, etc.) or celebrities (in public) were fair game and did not need model releases to have their likenesses used, but it's probably best to be safe rather than sorry.
Good luck tonight, Baldy...you certainly have your work cut out for you!!!

I would like to have my name included (Sebastian Hosche) if you use the picture. You can get the original size using the photoid.
Good luck with the project,

The breaking news is we could only get gift boxes for the 11-ounce mugs, which have pics of 3.0x8.5" (quite pano) or 450x1275 pixels.
Type the right size? Pic on the correct side? Copyright notice okay? If so, more to follow.
