Photography: Major newspaper accidentally puts a photo of mine on the front page

March 17, 2010 | 3 comments { Photography }

The Oregonian recently used a photo of mine, on the front page, without permission. Was this an accident caused by staff stretched too thin in a failing publishing industry? Or ignorance of how to find digital content, legally, to use commercially? The situation has been rectified with an apology and offer of compensation, but leaves me concerned that this might be happening more often than I’d like to think.

Help me choose which of these photos from last weekend I should make a nice print of for the parents of this lovely young lady (my goddaughter). I’ll print and frame the winning photograph.

Choose from attentive and realistic, gleeful, LOG POND WITH FISH!!! or weird/blurry but cute.

I’m having photographer’s block

One of the Great Things I struggle with in life is balance. I get enough exercise, but I never see my friends. I read 75 books in one year, but never write anything. Sometimes I take reams of photographs, in spurts of expression; sometimes I am dry as a summer gully in this respect.

Currently it’s the latter.

About two weeks ago, I came down with photographer’s ennui. Though I still walk the same route to work, with the same, often insane visual entertainments, my camera dangles heavily at my hip.

Hi, There!

I'm a dedicated amateur photographer who recently made the big switch from film to digital.

Wonderful games with Caslon
