Contribute to Unitarian Universalist Image Collection
Category: Unitarian Universalism - General
On Looking for Faith, I try to convey the joys, freedoms, complexities and challenges of being Unitarian Universalist. But doing so through words alone is somewhat limiting. I would like to start collecting and displaying images related to Unitarian Universalism (without violating copyright).
These images could be photographs, drawings, paintings, computer-generated artwork, graphic-design pieces or any other 2-D image that is related to Unitarian Universalism. They could be images of a congregation’s building on a sunny morning, or a quilt sewed by a group of UU’s, or an object used in worship, or, well the possibilities are almost limitless.
So here’s my request:
If you own the rights to images that are related to Unitarian Universalism and appropriate for public display, please send me an e-mail (ShelbyJMeyerhoff AT gmail DOT com). Please include the following information: the name of the image, a description, permission to post this image for free on Looking for Faith, a link to the image or the image itself as a file attachment, and a link to your own blog if you have one. If I post the image, I will credit you and will link to your blog in the post. If you would like to make this image available for free use to all UU bloggers, I will note this also when I post it.
Thank you sooooo much!!! This collection of images could be a great resource for sharing our experiences with Unitarian Universalism.
I’m open to any suggestions (by e-mail or in the comment) about how this project could be done more efficiently or be more helpful to other Unitarian Universalist bloggers.

You could try searching for images with Creative Commons licenses at Flickr. Here, for example, are photos tagged “unitarian”; here’s the subset that have a Creative Commons license, which means (in most cases) that you could use them on your non-for-profit blog.
Flickr also has lots of groups, to which people contribute relevant photos. Here are the groups that include “Unitarian” in their name or description; several look like very promising places for you to make connections.

Thank you both for commenting.
Philocrites, the Flickr recommendation is really helpful. On the subset page you directed me to, there are a lot of great images with the license that allows for non-commercial sharing.
