I Can't Swim

I love this and wanted to share….found about a 40 foot strip of film rolled tight in a half inch of water in the basement projector room of a burned school where i got some shuteye hitchhiking cross country in 1976. Recognized it as one of my favorite movies and dried and kept it. The roll has been sitting on a shelf on top of a bookend for about fifteen years, and last week I pulled and scanned this frame which includes the sound on the edge.
Listening to: “I shall be Released”, The Band.

Ten Legal Commandments of Photography

7:51 am in Admin, FYI, legal by William Tillis

Discovered over at PhotoJojo.com
Here are the first four to whet your appetite…

I. Anyone in a public place can take pictures of anything they want. Public places include parks, sidewalks, malls, etc. Malls? Yeah. Even though it’s technically private property, being open to the public makes it public space.

II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a building, for example, is visible from the sidewalk, it’s fair game.

III. If you are on private property and are asked not to take pictures, you are obligated to honor that request. This includes posted signs.

IV. Sensitive government buildings (military bases, nuclear facilities) can prohibit photography if it is deemed a threat to national security.

Head on over to PhotoJojo.com and check out the entire list. Extremely good information for those of you who like to snap shots of anything anytime anywhere.
