The moment you shoot the picture it's copyrighted to you, the artist/photographer. However, if you work for a company and have a contract, usually a "work for hire" or something like it, then they can own the copyright.

I'm sure that's what you meant...I'm just messing with you.

I work for a newspaper, as a photojournalist, and technically they own the copyright even though I shoot the pix.

Remember the Oklahoma City bombing picture of the firefighter with the child? That was a HUGE issue (read: litigation, etc.) for a long time because the photographer was just some dude who had a company camera with him...he wasn't a journalist.

I'm not sweating details like that... that's a photag's issue. Really, I don't want cut, paste of other peoples work, i.e. not your own.

Thank you for the insight.

Yeah, the copyright infringement issue can bite you in the butt pretty badly.

The $$$ per image is based on potential/actual views on the printed material...that $$$ is in the thousands per image per view. Which can generate a ton of liability...

I was just messing with your description earlier, not trying to imply that you'd snag stuff illegally.

hmm sounds like an interesting project now... only a week huh ? I'll see what I can do :-)

sdo you need a pic for each story ? or just pics in general ?

Who's writing the preface?

Who's writing the preface?
Preface?

Is there a need?

Why bother?

Keeping it understated is the intent?

What about the index?

What about the index?

Index?

Do we need one?

Isn't that akin to index shifting?

The anti thesis of the theme?

Do we want one?

Who will do the customizing of the binding?

Who will do the customizing of the binding?

Frank's second cousing twice removed, his name is Larry.

Can he do the index and preface too?

What about the index?



I might be getting an intern this summer.

Can he do the index and preface too?
No, because he's missing certain appendages that would allow him to complete that task. That is to say, he's fixed.

Soooo the call comes and none answer?

I do a little writing myself on the side but I'm not a graphic guys so i doubt my creativity would be helpful. You get it done and i will buy one , how's that?
