You may have a difficult time depending on where the pumps are located (public property/ ouside or inside a private building).  Typically the creator of the image (the phtographer or painter) hold the copyright. As always copyright law has several layers. You may want to look to a lawyer who specializes in copyright law.

Hi all,
We have a historic structure with three seriously huge water pumps.  Despite the fact that we are not scheduled to open until March, the photographers have discovered us.  This is a good thing, that means the word is out.

However, we want to make sure that we at least retain copyright for all the images.  If someone is going to make postcards of our stuff, I'd like us to get a cut of it (oh, Jeez, I've become a bureaucrat!).  Anybody have experience in this area?

Thank,
B.
