Confused on photo contest rules

[Fay Holiday]

The rules state any submitted photo must be taken by the member or spouse. Is it possible to expand the rules to include other family and friends? For instance, I have photos of me as a baby that were taken by a great aunt. Also one of my great great grandmother that was taken by a photographer back in the 1800s. I don't want to violate any rules.

Take a photo of the photo.

That works surprisingly well. I've done it with a few I've posted here.
Like these, all real paper pictures, taken with my phone. You have to get the lighting just right so there's no glare, and be steady which usually involves a beer or three for me.

photo of a photo that didn't come out perfect but it's the only one in existence. The light reflected off the glass but will do the same off a glossy paper photo. (original 'photo' was taken in mid 1800s...civil war. My great great grandfather)




Having said that, I don't know if i like it much.......... what's to stop someone from taking a photo of an image they find on the internet and claim it as their own?
Answer...nothing.
The 'honor system' will have to stand on it's own I suppose, but It's not as if we're talking about a 24 kt gold plated trophy for the winner...

What @greybeard said. No copy/paste from the internet. Preferably on your farm or ranch. Don't download a pic your neighbor took and claim it as your own. Use your judgment.
