Greetings! You Violated My Copyright!

Yesterday I was made aware of yet another copyright violation of one of my photographs. The photograph was used by a company who lifted it from somewhere online for the purposes of illustration of an article which is of course to promote their business and make money. The unauthorized use was quickly resolved. But for those who think they have some knowledge of copyright based on what some people have told you or guessed online or you just think you can do what you want, guess again. You might be hearing from my attorney and then you just might find yourself being handed papers by a United States Marshal bringing you greetings from a United States District Court Judge. Thank You!

Photographs

I very often have to search my archives for photographs to fill requests from magazines, companies and other people. As I do that I often see again photographs I took that I really like. This photograph of Brad Gwinn from our photo shoot being one of them, that I happened to run across just yesterday. Being a photographer starts with being a huge fan of photography and photographs and sometimes even my own.

Better Without The Wedding

I think sometimes a wedding dress looks better without the wedding. At least if it is being modeled by Maria Bertrand in front of my camera…

Adorned By Beauty…

How wonderful to have my photographs adorned by the beautiful model, Aristodeme. And how wonderful to have her adorned by the beautiful jewelry by Shari Dixon. Created from “natural elements and mixed media such as pressed flowers, leaves, herbs and snakeskin, immortalizing their fragile lives”. Shari describes her designs as “whimsical and extremely unique designs of personal adornment”. I think that is such a wonderful description of such wonderful pieces. How perfect to adorn the natural beauty and grace of Aristodeme. Find these beautiful creations and more at ShariDixonInc.com.

Dance Lessons In Tampa

It is fun to see my production photographs from the movie “Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks” in the entertainment section of so many newspapers. This photograph with stars Gena Rowlands and Cheyenne Jackson really depicts the theme of the movie and is one of my favorites. Actually I shot approximately 26,000 photographs during the production of the motion picture and I have too way many favorites. It was a lot of fun!
