|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board photo selling question Scott Lukaitis, Photographer Brick | NJ | USA | Posted: 8:57 PM on 09.16.05 ->> My dad shot some photos of the tribute in lights in Manhatten the other day and I posted them on my website. http://lukaitisphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/812495/1/36189232 I've had the print sales portion of the site locked so that they can not be sold but have had numerous request from people who want to purchase prints. Since it was a public showing do I have any problems with selling the prints??  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Wouldn't surprise me. Quite honestly, I'm not too sure. I can see it both ways on this. Good luck. Hope it sells well, if it is in fact salable. Nice images.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I'm probably just going to open the photos up as available and see what happens.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I can think of nothing that would legally prevent you from selling prints of those images. --Mark  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
