Hi, All ...

I've recently dug out some old 35mm tri-x negatives I made during a 1966 
civil rights march on behalf of James Meredith. They include shots of 
many now famous people including Martin Luther King, James Farmer, Floyd 
McKissack, Stokley Carmichael, Fannie Lou Hamer and others. To my 
surprise they print very well and I'm thinking of making some fine art 
prints to offer on eBay or through a gallery.

However, I want to remain in control of any publication of these images. 
Can I offer prints to the art market and still retain publication rights 
and, if so, how?
