He had thousands to pick from in Detroit.

A Mom takes her cute daughter in and sells her images as stock photos.

The Mom is then OUTRAGED when her daughter’s image is used in support of a political cause she doesn’t support.

Well… Mom… maybe you should have read the contract??

She wants an “apology”. Never mind the ad agency that used the images she sold in GOOD FAITH. Never mind the organization that bought the ad that used the image she sold in GOOD FAITH.  It seems, based on the information in the linked article that apologies and money should flow from the Mom to the agency and cause.

So, today, as two examples, we have a sushi customer INVENTING a contract, and  a Mom breaking one.

I’m just not sure where this country is heading. No place good.

BTW: The cause is question is an EXCELLENT ONE.

The artist is Lei Wei. Not sure how he does it, but the models live for other shoots, so it must end well.

More pics here.

If you want to do weddings you better know how to take pictures of dresses.
This was a postcard I gave out at wedding shows back when I did photography.
I smudged out the phone # so I won’t get calls.

This was taken as the sun set and hit the mountains behind. I had 3 lights set on radio remotes, including one hidden by her dress on bottom right to light her face and cause a shadow line to define her sculpted arms.
You could get this image “accidently”, but I preferred to bring enough gear so that I could make the light I wanted if nature didn’t happen to cooperate.

BTW: The original picture, which I had to crop for the postcard, has the ENTIRE dress. Never. Never. Never cut a dress off in a formal picture.
