The Camel’s Back (Well, maybe…)

Here is the photograph that was featured on my home page for the last several months. I must confess, I am struggling with using it any more, because I don’t actually have permission.

This photo was originally discovered by a Google image search for “Camel in the eye of a needle.” I have made several attempts to contact the owners of this wonderful camel photo (like it was made just for me!), but to no avail.  No returned email responses. The website where it came from is not active, just gathering dust.

Since I am not using my own website to advertise or to make money, some have suggested that it might be okay to use the photograph, that there would not be much of a case for any copyright lawsuits.

But, still.

What do you think? What is your advice?
