Need help from fellow roofers: Need Pictures

After thirty years of working for other companies in the business, my partner and I decided to start our own roofing company six months ago. We need pictures for our website. We need pictures of asphalt shingle roofs, slate roofs, tile roofs, cedar shingle roofs, metal roofs, siding, chimney repairs and flashings, copper gutters, aluminum gutters, pole gutters and shelf gutters. We will be glad to give you the photo credits and a link back to your site for any photos that we use. I’m knowledgeable in website development/marketing and SEO. I would be glad to look at your site and offer some suggestions to improve your site/SEO in exchange for some pictures. Please contact me at kevin@xclroofing.com. Thanks

Thanks for the compliment on the website. But a picture says a thousand words. I was the salesman/project manager/photographer/web master for my former employer of thirty years. The copyrights of the pictures and website content I developed belongs to my former employer. I can't use pictures without permission of the pictures owner. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now after reading your website, which I must say is pretty decent, I see that you are not from Creighton but that you ARE Creighton!

I'm currently trying to retrieve stuff from a hard drive crash. I'll shoot you an email if all goes well this evening.

Creighton eh? As in SIU's nemesis??? I'm not givin you nuthin!

Actually I don't give two licks about sports. Welcome to the board.

I too use almost exclusively my own pictures. How else to differentiate from the storm troopers, craigs listers and non-roofer marketers?

there are some photos that get dropped in that aren't mine...if I am trying to introduce a concept/ product or if someone else manages my website

Why would you use generic pictures? :unsure: I only use pix of my projects, like Vaa does, and then some of nearby houses to show the types of roofing in my area. The pix I use account for a huge part of my business. :)

Surely after 30 years, there are some houses you can go back to and take the pix of. :unsure:

Like this one. I should have cleaned the dust off first though. This detail work was done by a fellow roofer from this site and myself. For the record, that kerf was already in the brick. All the dust came from using a grinder to clean a gallon of caulk and construction cement from the wall.
