Beaver Beacon photo gallery — original for photo 337 (the good life at Nomad). Permalink https://www.beaverbeacon.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=337.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A black-and-white photograph of a scrapbook page displays four smaller photographs mounted in a two-by-two arrangement. The upper-left image shows a long wooden building with an open-sided front and scattered lumber; the upper-right shows automobiles and people beside a dock and buildings. The lower-left shows a group of people gathered outdoors near water, while the lower-right shows a broad water view with a wooded shoreline. Handwritten captions surround the mounted photographs, and dark photo corners hold some of them in place.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The holder catalogue titles this image “the good life at Nomad” and dates it October 20, 2002. It is identified as original for photo 337 in the Beaver Beacon photo gallery.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
The wording in the upper-right handwritten caption after “onto” is difficult to read; it appears to say “Harold's sand.” The names in the lower-left caption are handwritten and may be imperfectly legible.
Rights and credit
© the individual photographers and/or the Beaver Beacon. The gallery's own footer states, verbatim: "Copyright Note: You must obtain written permission from the copyright holder before using any of these images for any commercial purpose. Contact the Beaver Beacon if you have any questions or need to contact the copyright owner of a specific image." The site footer adds: "© 2002-2010 The Beaver Beacon. All Rights Reserved." No licence, public-domain dedication or terms-of-use page was located anywhere on the gallery; the note above addresses commercial use only and is silent on non-commercial republication, and that silence is recorded as silence rather than read as permission.
Credit this to Beaver Beacon (individual photographers credited per image) when you use it.
Why this archive publishes it. Beaver Beacon site and photo gallery. The gallery's notice conditions COMMERCIAL use on written permission and says nothing about any other use; this archive is non-commercial, so that condition is met. Credit and a link to the photo's own gallery page accompany every item. The gallery is also no longer maintained — its newest upload is dated 2019-05-26 and the site footer stops at 2010 — which is the case for preserving it rather than an argument that its terms lapsed. Removal on request, from the Beacon or from any photographer.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
