The Great State of Massachusetts
The Oxbow. Northampton, MA
Taken by me, Ryan Brothers
Massachusetts pisses me off a lot, but damn it has a lot to offer. The nearest place to hike where I used to live was this 1,000 foot tall mountain, Mt. Tom. I’ve been to the other side of the world, and this place still stands up to a foreign city in terms of the excitement and joy it brings me. I stand atop this mountain and see the town I was born in, the town my families grew up in, the town I grew up in, where I went to school, where I partied…my whole life in 30 square miles. I’ll end up posting a lot of pictures from this place.
Reminder to myself: Post charity question
This looks like a grand place to watch your previous years.
Hi, I would like to know if I could use one of your Massachusetts photos, and if so, how much would you charge. Thank you.
SANNA,
I’d love to let you use the photo for free. I would simply request some info on what you were going to use it for, unless it was specifically for profit (i.e. you were going to sell the photo itself, then I couldn’t give it for free of course) and verification that I would be properly credited for my shot :)
Which picture did you have in mind? ‘The Oxbow’?
Thank you so much for asking. I appreciate your respect for my art and I am flattered to be asked. Please write back and give me all the info you can on the usage of the photo, and from there, I can give you an official approval.

Hi Ryan,
I really love this photo of the Northampton Oxbow. I am a student at the Conway School of Landscape Design, working on a project about Northampton, and I was wondering if I could use this image for my report. Of course I would give you credit for the shot. Let me know if that would be okay. Thank you – Tom
absolutely! thanks for asking. I’d love to see how the work was used if you have the opportunity to email it to me once finished. Thanks for your interest and good luck!
