Fair use for James_Whitney_(filmmaker)[edit]

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

1. it is a historically significant photo exemplifying the cinematic style of a well known individual;
2. it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
3. the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows an example of the work of the subject of this article and how the style differs from other filmmakers. One might not appreciate this simply from reading the description of his abstract work. Salsa man 19:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
