This beautiful creature is the East African bongo, a large antelope that lives in the forest. Different tribes in Africa have legends about the bongos’ various magical powers, which are largely a reflection of their ability to “disappear” into the forest at a moment’s notice. This particular species of bongo is endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching, and now there are more East African bongos in captivity than there are in the wild. Let’s hope that we can help this species before they do a real disappearing act. 100% of the profits from the sale of this print will be donated to Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

WILL THE ACT OF PHOTOGRAPHY BECOME A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?

Say "NO!" to the Orphan Works Act
by bchrisdesignsI found about this ludicrous proposed law on Red Bubble...
I found about this ludicrous proposed law on Red Bubble and wanted to let everyone else know what they can do about it! If you have not heard about the Orphan Works Act, then you should research it and speak out before it is too late (especially if you are an artist, writer, and/or musician)! No, this Act is not about displaced children or found animals. It revolves around works of art (including fine art, photography, writing, music, etc.) that are not registered with newly proposed agencies. ANY work not registered would be considered in the public domain. This is a dangerous concept and just goes to show how greedy and capitalistic our society, government, and big businesses have become. According to GoPetition.com: “If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we’ve created over the past 34 years, unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won’t successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free. In short, if Congress passes this law, YOU WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR OWN CREATIONS!” We would be forced into a world where big business can bully us and use whatever they wanted and not be penalized for it. And, this law not only affects artists, writers, and musicians. It also affect the everyday consumer! If you are planning to get your the photographs of your cousin’s wedding developed at a Wal-Mart or other big box retailer, then you better be prepared to get every image copyrighted or you may just end up seeing them on Wal-Mart’s billboards! Gone would be the days of having rights the minute you create something. Now, if you don’t pay to protect it, then it is like no one created the image and it is up for grabs! Who wants to live in this kind of world other than greedy politicians and businesses? And, it does not surprise me that this has all happened under the Bush administration. Who were the idiots that voted for him and thought he would do us some good? Well, seems like the joke’s on YOU! In an April 10th article in Animation World Magazine, award-winning animation producer/director and speaker, Mark Simon, writes: “It is currently against international law to coerce people to register their work for copyright because there are so many inherent problems with it. But because big business can push through laws in the United States, our country is about to break with the rest of the world, again, and take your rights away. With the tens of millions of photos and pieces of artwork created each year, the bounty for forcing everyone to pay a registration fee would be enormous. We lose our rights and our creations, and someone else makes money at our expense. This includes every sketch, painting, photo, sculpture, drawing, video, song and every other type of creative endeavor. All of it is at risk! If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we’ve created over the past 34 years, unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won’t successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free.” So, what can you do about it? Well educate yourself on the issues, write to your congress men and women, and sign as many petitions as your can. To get your started, check out this petition, which I have already signed: Say ‘NO!’ to the Orphan Works Act on GoPetition.com Also, be sure to check out these resources for more information: Say ‘NO!’ to the Orphan Works Act on GoPetition.com Mark Simon’s Mind Your Business: You Will Lose All The Rights to Your Own Art IPA Orphan Works Resource Page for Artists U.S. Copyright’s Office Orphan Works Page ASMP’s Update on the 2008 Orphan Works Act You can also find more information about the Orphan Works Act on Red Bubble: Helen Bascom’s Protect Your Copyright – URGENT ACTION REQUIRED Erin Jay’s Something every artist should know about!

Bad Boy Burlesque

Wow, what a big weekend… It started with a band shoot, then a midsumma burlesque shoot where I stalked Adrian on his first real photography gig, then a gay pride march shoot and then I totally crashed into bed and today I feel really yuck (not hung over in case you were presuming, just bloody tired). Anyways, I have only had a few minutes to even look at my shots from the first two shoots. I’m really new to this concept of event photogrpahy. As in where people are relying on you to produce something more artistic than a happy snap. So here are a few of my shots from Saturday evening. Constructive criticism, comments, advice all very welcome. I want to learn! Here is the full gallery

The Orphan Works Act of 2008 ~ RELEASE
by CrockpotFROM THE ILLUSTRATORS’ PARTNERSHIP The Orphan Works Act of 2008 will be officially released momentarily. The language in the draf…
FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS’ PARTNERSHIP The Orphan Works Act of 2008 will be officially released momentarily. The language in the draft confirms our warnings. If this bill passes, you’ll be forced to clear all your secondary licensing rights through at least two government certified databases – or risk orphaning your art. Despite its masquerade as the “last resort” to search for a rights owner, these databases will likely become the only source many users will rely on for finding a rights owner. Reason: it will give users the legal right to infringe any copyright not in the databases. We’re working with our attorney now to prepare opposition letters. We have contracted CapWiz, a service that will allow you to send these letters to Congress with a push of the button. CapWiz will also provide us with “digital stickers” that anyone else – organizations, individual artists, blogs, etc. – can put on their sites that create a direct link to the command center to write their Congressman and Senators to defeat this radical change to U.S. Copyright law Please stay tuned and we’ll tell you in a day or so what you can do to register your opposition. For additional background on Orphan Works, go to the IPA Orphan Works Resource Page for Artists If you wish to be added to our mailing list, email us at: illustratorspartnership@cnymail.com / Place “Add Name” in the subject line, and provide your name and the email address you want used in the message area. For more info here on the Bubble, please check out Helen Bascom’s comprehensive journal entry about it, which includes action that can be taken. I also recommend signing up with Illustrators’ Partnership which is doing a lot to put a stop to this. They also have a lot of great interviews with prominent artists about what all this means.

This lovely green new dew drop decked fern frond was photographed on the side of the Knodingbul Road, off the Oxley Highway between Wauchope and Gingers Creek, NSW, Australia, early on an autumn morning. The fern is tentatively identified as Gleichenia microphylla (Parasol or Umbrella or Scrambling Coral Fern). I was with a camera club friend on a day trip to the Cottan-Bimbang* National Park and environs when we stopped to check out some possible subjects. When I turned to look at the other side of the road this backlit dew bedecked frond caught my eye. *Cottan-Bimbang is the local Aboriginal name for the Linospadix monostachya (Walking Stick Palms) which are very prominent in the area Camera: Fuji S9600; RAW; Macro Mode; Manual Priority; Manual Focus; f/4; 1/60sec; 33mm; Spot Metering; Centre Focussing; WB Daylight; ISO 80; Low powered Flash; Hand held. / Processing: S7RAW & Photoshop CS.
