A. Just me. I do not solicit nor collect photographs from anyone else; all photographs available for purchase were taken by me.

Q. Can I license one or more of the images?
A. Please do! Nearly all images are available to be licensed, and I offer a stupendously low price -- $75 per image license, regardless if you’re using it for your book cover, pamphlet, or the front page of the New York Times. Man, that would be cool -- one of my photos on the NYT. Anyway, Click HERE for more information about licensing or email me at robertxgillis@aol.com
Q. Can I order a print of one of the images?
A. Yes, you can order any image on this site and I will send you a print in the selected size on high quality photographic paper, printed on commercial quality photographic printers. Note: By purchasing a print, you are purchasing ONLY a copy of the image for personal use, and you are not allowed to use the image for any other purpose.

A. Browse the galleries. Hover over a each small "thumbnail" image to display a much larger photo for inspection. You can also click on any photo for a larger image and more information.
Q. All the prints say © www.GillisPhotos.com – will that appear on my print?
A. No watermark appears on purchased prints.
Q. How do I pay for the photographs?
A. I accept PayPal®, which allows you to pay with any credit card whether or not you are a PayPal® member. Browse the galleries, and as you find photographs you like, add them to your cart.

A. Print(s) will be mailed to the mailing address you specify by US priority mail. Be sure to specify your address when you pay for your images.
Q. How do I receive my purchased license images? Can I automatically download my photographs?
A. Due to copyright, security concerns, and the ease with which web sites can be "hacked," I do not offer the ability to automatically download photographs.
