Thanks for the advice everyone. My photographer was gave me permission to duplicate as many as I wanted, no extra charge. The person running the office just assumed I knew, and didn't ask if I would be reproducing them. So it wasnt' a big deal after all. Another question: In theater, most actors attach their resumes to the back of their photos with double sided tape and trim the edges off, in effect creating an 8 x 10 resume. Do people do this in the opera world? JMH
