My photograph collection

I collect IDF photographs, and recently I started scanning them, as of now 72 have been scanned, and here they are, you can use them as long as you meet these requirements:
A. you don’t make money off of the pictures

AKA, you don’t sell them on shirts, mugs, or whatever, or use them in movies or TV shows. (however, I may permit you if you contact me over Email)

B. you must credit me.

if you do use these images, even one, you must put either in the description or on the image itself “This image is from shiryonarchive.com from Sisay’s private collection” and you are not allowed to put your watermark on the photo.

additionally, if you want to expand your collection and want to buy a physical copy (no I will not print new ones, im selling them as I bought them) then contact me at shiryonarchive@gmail.com.
