They charge you little to nothing for the actual shoot and make their money on the prints. That is why you can't go to Wal-Mart and copy their photos. There is probably a way to hire them to take the photo but have you retain all rights, but the shoot cost would be higher.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-15524535865724660642010-12-25T05:47:16.414-06:002010-12-25T05:47:16.414-06:00I've found it interesting for quite a long tim...I've found it interesting for quite a long time how a person can have such a strong sense of entitlement. I'm not normal in this respect, because I always feel like you should follow the rules. In that respect, I'm fairly boring, I'm afraid. Anyway, photography has always been an interesting legal topic.<br /><br />You know how you go to professional photographers to get pictures sometimes? Do they own those pictures or are you able to reproduce your own likeness as many times as you like, even though they took the picture?<br /><br />Interesting topic.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121256641566335428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-11281675120960853372010-12-25T04:20:52.914-06:002010-12-25T04:20:52.914-06:00Well, you can thank "King George" and hi...Well, you can thank "King George" and his minions for all this nonsensical behavior.<br /><br />9-11 scrambled our eggs, and we went nuts abridging everyone's rights, no matter how trivial.<br /><br />The sad part is, that marginal cops seize the opportunity to abuse authority.<br /><br />And who better to pick on than some surly looking rail photographers. Easy to catch, they are usually grazing in place.<br /><br />Like an SP Special Agent who rousted me at the Old Taylor Yard in LA said when he caught me shooting, from a public street no less, "So do you get your rocks off looking a trains?"<br /><br />Pass the cranberries!Robert in Port Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807813545873570119noreply@blogger.com
