CREDITS
Every photograph on this site, with its photographer, license, and source
Every photograph on Port City Lowdown is sourced from a free-licensed provider — Wikimedia Commons, Unsplash, or similar — and depicts a real location in Wilmington, NC or New Hanover County. We credit photographers in the list below because that is the right thing to do (and, for Creative-Commons-licensed images, what the license requires).
If you photographed something on this list and would prefer your credit show different wording, or if you'd like a photo removed entirely, email [email protected] and we'll handle it same day.

About these licenses
Most photos on this site are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 or CC BY 4.0 — both allow free commercial use as long as the photographer is credited and the link to the license is provided. Unsplash photos use the Unsplash License, which permits commercial use without required attribution; we credit anyway.
Some images on this list are placeholders — temporary stand-ins until a better Wilmington-specific photo is taken. If you see "placeholder" next to a credit, that photo will be replaced as soon as we have a stronger one.
