Although the worst that can happen is that you will be refused or given the opportunity to purchase, you might be surprised just how easy it is to get official permission to use photographs in your articles.
All it takes is a simple e-mail message which includes the link to your weblog and a request for permission — as well as the topic of the article in which you intend to use it.
I speak from experience: I have never yet had a request for permission to use a photograph denied; and in fact I have been thanked for asking.
