We regularly receive many emails from people wanting to help Nineteen Months in various ways. This is wonderful and we are all touched and very appreciative of your offers. To answer your commonly asked questions, we’ve compiled a list. If your question is not answered, please email us at editors@nineteenmonths.com
Q: “How can I help this initiative?”
A: Like what you see here? Feel free to spread the word! Leave us a comment on the site, share our content with friends, or link to us from your blog. Do you follow us? Re-share our Facebook posts!
Q: “I really like what you’re doing and would love to help by taking photographs or writing for you. Is this possible?”
A: Nineteen Months is always looking for new photographers and writers. Please send work samples or a link to your website to editors@nineteenmonths.com for consideration.
Q: “So how do I share my spiritually inspired photographs and writing if not on Nineteen Months?”
A: Easy. Do what we did. We are sure that with your talent and the Writings, you can start off a NEW initiative!
Nineteen Months is one idea of inspiration for photography, but we’re certainly not the Getty Images of Bahá’í inspired photography!
The web needs more high quality Bahá’í content. Its very easy to start something, using a site such as wordpress.com if you have no web skills, for example. For good examples of other sites showing individual initiative, see bottom of page.
Q: “I want to use your photos on the Internet. What is your copyright policy?”
A: The copyright of every photo on Nineteen Months is held by the photographer, however, we (the photographers) have decided to let you use them non-commercially only if you let us know where you use them, acknowledge the photographer, and link to the site. For more on this and using the photos OFF the Internet, please see the section below regarding copyright.
Recommended examples of individual initiative
