+GeoLobo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Anyone know where i can find a public image of Mike Stum? Anyone know his geonick? Stum is credited with inventing the term "geocaching" I am doing a series of Trading Cards related to persons/events in particular periods of the geocaching timeline. The cards are in the infancy stage right now, and i have only began to work on the front images, not the frames (front and back), or the data (Historical info) that will go on the back. I have done many personal trading cards in the past http://www.bluelinegeocachers.org/images/tradingcards/ you can find the timeline series here http://www.bluelinegeocachers.org/images/tradingcards/timeline_series/ In all i will start with 10 cards, but will be creating more in the future related to many other persons/events related to geocaching history.

+CanadianRockies Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Anyone know where i can find a public [domain] image of Mike Stum? Corrected it for you. It seems unlikely that there will be one. Alternatively, you might want to locate a copyrighted image and get permission to use it from the copyright owner. Quote Link to comment

Ya, sure, if someone has one, that would be great! I would seek permission! Quote Link to comment

It looks like he's creating original artwork. The image of Mike Stum wouldn't be copied. It would just show him what Mike Stum looks like, so his original artwork can be more accurate. Then again, maybe Mike Stum is a dog. On the internet, you never know... Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Isn't it "Matt" Stum? </h3> <h3>The Origins of Geocaching Geocaching, first coined by Matt Stum on the "GPS Stash Hunt" mailing list on May 30, 2000, was the joining of two familiar words. The prefix geo, for Earth, was used to describe the global nature of the activity, but also for its use in familiar topics in gps such as geography. Quote Link to comment

Sorry, I had looked only at the first set of linked trading cards. Yes, the timeline series appears to be original artwork, which can freely make use of copyrighted materials (as long as the new artwork is not "substantially similar"). Quote Link to comment
+mikemtn Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Maybe you could get one from him. matt@42nd-dimension.com Quote Link to comment

+GeoLobo Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry, yes Matt Stum. For some reason, i had Mike on my Mind. Must have been Mike Teague <smile> Thanks for the Email, i have emailed him Quote Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 His Geocaching Yahoo Group. Not to be a nitpicker, but that is certainly not "his Yahoo group". But that is the historic post where he invents the word Geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+GeoLobo Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 I decided to forget about Matt, since he hasn't even answered my email. Here are the 10 cards im working on http://www.bluelinegeocachers.org/images/tradingcards/timeline_series/ Quote Link to comment
