I have a few great photos that I took when I visited William and Mary College where James Hampton's work was on display for a special exhibit. I would like to include one of them in the article. Is this okay with you? Anagossii--74.229.102.208 (talk) 04:51, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you create an account, you can upload the images yourself. (See Wikipedia:Why create an account?)

Note that James Hampton's work probably falls under copyright restrictions which would mean that your photos can only be used under fair use guidelines. To learn how to upload images, see Wikipedia:Uploading images. —D. Monack ^talk 06:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks Monack: I understand. They are my own photos taken when I visited the exhibition. However, I just made a webpage and added it to the externa links. --74.229.102.208 (talk) 09:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Did the exhibition had a ban of photography or did they charge for taking photographs? Or was there any other restrictions? - Skysmith (talk) 10:33, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

No. Not at all. In fact, they encouraged those who did attend to help disseminate Hampton's story. They do not own the copyrights on his life. They simply chose to host an exhibtion, during the time his temples were enroute. I believe his temples are now permanently housed at the Smithsonian. I am hoping for the time when PBS, the History channel or National Geographic will do a well deserve documentary on his life and works. --74.229.102.208 (talk) 14:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
