Request for permission to use images

As far as I’m concerned, if i choose to post any images on here/the wider internet or in the public domain in general, then i fully expect them to be downloaded/copied and shared. By posting, i accept i have no future control of them and accept that. If i don’t want others to have certain images, then i don’t post. Simple.

I have been making my own "encyclopedia" of grenades. So far, it's images saved on my computer and deactivated / replica examples.
I am VERY interested in your project and would help make it happen if that's possible.
If your project comes to a publication or otherwise, I, for one, will be a purchaser.
 
I would appreciate it if anyone who writes something here would read what has already been written before doing so.
First of all, I think it's pretty clear that I don't intend to publish anything without first seeking the appropriate authorization from the owners of the photos.
Secondly, for those who don't know, there is a provision in all copyright regulations called "obras huérfanas" in Spanish, regulated in Article 37 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/1996. This provision refers to works for which, after diligent action, it has not been possible to contact the author and establishes a series of conditions such that, if met, their use is legal even without prior authorization.
In the United States, the regulations merely acknowledge the problem but offer no solution, limiting the proposals to limiting the liability of those who use them after a diligent search for the author. An example is the Google Books case (Authors Guild v. Google, Inc.).
In the United Kingdom, the applicable regulation is the EU Orphan Works Directive, implemented by the Copyright and Rights in Performances (Certain Permitted Uses of Orphan Works) Regulations 2014 (SI 2014/2863), similar to the Spanish model.
 
You could add the link to the website if you are not sure if you can use the photo. I know this is not a good idea for a picture book but it would be good research item in the book.
Yes, it's the way to do with the orphan works.

Quite a project.
feel free to use pics I posted.
Bob
Thanks

I take note of the offer. If the project goes ahead and the time comes, I would contact you to complete the work.
 
Hi,
When will you publish your book?
Thanks
Angelo
I don't know. I've been working in this project for maybe three years and there is still a lot of info to analize. Maybe one/two years, but if the images problem become insoluble...
