Photo credits: where the pictures come from

The pictures on this site come from two places, and we want it to be clear which is which.

Real photographs are credited in the list below, each with the photographer or author and the licence it is used under. The list is drawn from the record kept for every image, so a photo that appears on a page should appear here too. If you want to reuse one of these photographs, the licence named beside it sets the terms, and those terms come from the person who took it, not from this site.

Some pictures are AI-generated, made to look like ordinary photographs of homes, pipes and yards. Each one carries the words "AI-generated picture" in its caption, so you can always tell it from a real photograph. On some photos, maker logos on equipment have been blurred, because a picture of a water heater or a valve is there to show the part, not to promote a brand.
