LS Lowry

I have used a crop of a computerised image of one of Lowry’s factory gate pictures on a couple of my articles, usually those about workers rights. I am unsure of the images copyright status and so had a lock on the web. Tineye finds very little and wikipedia only references “Going to Work”. Here…

The featured image comes from pixabay and is credited to Heike Baerbel. It has been shrunk.

Snipsnap Problems

This was copied across from the snipsnap bliki on 26th July. It’s all a bit redundant now, but it might be useful for others.
