eventual use to which it may be applied. Such Photographs may be used in the

Photographs, even should the same subject me to ridicule, scandal, reproach,
scorn or indignity, and from any liability as a result of any distortion,
blurring or alteration, optical illusion or use in composite form, either
intentionally or otherwise, that may occur to be produced in the taking,
processing or reproduction of the finished product, or its publication or
distribution.
I hereby represent that I am over the age of 18 years and have read the
