Understood ... the hospital was calling for peaceful, calming \"nature vibe\" imagery. I met with them and they would only consider images if you uploaded them (one at a time via individual email), which included release for free usage ... despite lauding the work I brought to them for review ... it was upload or nothing.
I\'m sitting on thousands of such images right here in town that they could have worked with a dedicated photographer to the subject and project ... instead, the charter was through solicitation of free contributions. The local framer working on the project has even asked for my advice on matters at various times. My work has been displayed in the local museum and lauded by the Chamber of Commerce. Even so, unless I was willing to give my work away for free, the hospital wasn\'t interested ... the allure of \"free\" pictures is a powerful thing.
