Photography Terms of Use

Nate and Ashley are by no means professional photographers, but both spend a considerable amount of time practicing photography while at home and during their travels. The photographs in this Blog are meant to inspire and assist in your travel. We would, of course, be honored if you chose to use the photographs in a non-commercial manner on blogs, social media sites, or simply as a desktop background. However, in an effort to maintain some control over the content of this blog, we ask that you follow the below terms of use and licensing agreement as borrowed from Trey Ratcliff at StuckinCustoms.
