Pictures

Who took what, and on what terms.

68 of the pictures in this book are real photographs, listed here with their makers and licenses. Places are as the photographers stated them, and where a photo comes from outside Northeast Texas the caption says so or names only the subject. 13 more are AI-generated, and each carries the words "AI-generated picture" under it. Video stills come from the channels named beside each video, and are kept on this site so nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.
