Guest blogging at the Camera Club of New York's blog

For the next few months I'll be guest blogging at the Camera Club of New York's blog. I just posted my first post. If you're not familiar with the Camera Club of New York, you should be (wiki here). The Club began way back in 1884 when photography was mostly a hobby for the well to do and for professionals. Over its history the club has had several famous members including Alfred Stieglitz and Paul Strand. Currently, The Camera Club of New York is located at 336 West 37th Street and provides a nice community to make work with shared darkrooms, studio space and digital facilities.

Tonights FotoChat we talk Copyrights with Carolyn E. Wright, a/k/a the Photo Attorney®.

As many of you know Todd Walker and I have restarted the tweetchat ArtPhotoChat with the shorter tag #FotoChat. Tonight, Tuesday July 16th at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST we are excited to welcome Carolyn E. Wright, a/k/a the Photo Attorney® (twitter: @PhotoAttorney) as our guest to talk about copyright and fair use.

Here are a few of the cases that are bouncing around the blog-o-sphere, I'm linking you to an article that I think sums up a lot of the debate via A Photo Editor - take a look:

Artist Janine “Jah Jah” Gordon's images vs. photographer Ryan McGinley's. (article)

Photographer Jay Maisel vs.internet entrepreneur Andy Baio with his lo-fi 8-bit tribute to Miles Davis’ "Kind of Blue" called "Kind of Bloop."

Patrick Cariou’s Yes Rasta book vs. Richard Prince's Canal Zone exhibit at the Gagosian gallery (article)

Join in tonight at 9 pm EST.
