1I have discussed the legality of photographing in public, what situations necessitate a model release, and other related subjects with many of my coworkers. Unfortunately, it seems things may change depending on the outcome of this case. Photographer Philip-Lorca diCorcia is being sued by a man he photographed as part of his “Heads” series. He took the photo on the street without the man’s permission. He then proceeded to sell several prints for 20k a piece, and publish the image in a book that sold many copies as well. Currently this is all perfectly legal (despite what many people will tell you).

Jayrah and I spent the long weekend with some good friends in Baltimore. We were treated to a lovely ballgame, where my wife’s digital elph was able to capture this lovely motion blur shot of fireworks. We also went to the National Gallery to see the Irving Penn show (another post coming soon about the show).
