Photography credits
Real places, real photographs, properly licensed.
We don't use staged stock photography of people pretending to write software. Every photograph on this site is a real picture of a real place in British Columbia, chosen to match the page it opens: the legislature for public bodies, the port for business, a 1938 bridge still in service for the page about keeping systems running.
Each is used under a Creative Commons or public-domain licence that permits commercial use. The CC BY and CC BY-SA licences require attribution, so the photographer, licence, and original source for every image are listed below.
