back home

Hi again... I/we got back home about a week ago from a great time out east and in Canada. We drove from Springfield, Missouri to Jeffersonville, Vermont to shoot a wedding. It was a beautiful wedding an tons of fun. During our trip we went trough 14 states and saw many things we never had like, Niagara Falls, Montreal (Canada), Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and all the places between. I photographed as many state capitols as possible and we covered almost 4000 miles in 7 days. The power steering went out on my Land Rover during our return trip and I slept for about 2 hours and that was the only time I didn't drive. It's great to be home and prepare for upcoming photo shoot and get images uploaded to my stock portfolio.

Feel free to write, call or even tweet me on twitter.

Facebook free photo use

I pulled the information below from a news feed. You'll find helpful details to assist with protecting the use of your photos on Facebook by modifying privacy settings. I have a vested interest as a photographer to make sure I monitor use and prevent as much unauthorized use as possible related to my photos. I want to protect my clients as much as possible while maintaining my intellectual property and creative rights.


Social networks are making this a challenge - our practices of digital copyrights (often lost upon lo-res conversion) and watermarks (see image above) can prevent some unwanted use while we continue to serve our customers with quality images and the ability to display them.
all the best... James

By Larry Collins Reporter Published: July 20, 2009 The next time you log on to Facebook, don’t be surprised if you see your face staring back at you in an advertisement. Facebook’s sponsors can use your pictures without paying you. You may remember the controversy surrounding the Facebook terms of services and their use of our pictures. There is a new use of pictures that has many scratching their heads. Sponsors can use your Facebook photos to advertise, making you a spokesperson for services and products. One woman says her husband logged on to Facebook to find her picture advertising a dating site as a “hot single.“ When I logged on to the site, I also found that my picture was used to promote a dating website. If you don’t opt out of social ads, Facebook can use your picture. The computer system collects information about you and when your friends log on they see you. If you become a fan of a product, your picture may show up in the ad for the product.

The good news, is that it’s an easy fix. All you need to do is change your settings.
Here are the simple steps:
* Go to the settings tab
* Then to the privacy section
* Look at the news feed and wall section
* Then go to Facebook ads option and appearance in Facebook ads
* Click “no one”

southwestern US

Hello...
The end of February and the beginning of March I found myself in New Mexico and Arizona (a planned trip) for a speaking commitment I had scheduled months ago. During my time there I was able to take a series of photos - a journal of the experience.
Here is some of what I saw in the southwest...
Enjoy!

OUR WORLD - culture and ethnicity

Thank you for dropping in...
I am working on a very exciting project concerning our culture and the vast ethnic diversity we experience all around us - world-wide and specifically in the United States.

Over the next year it will develop to the point that it will become a piece of art to be released through exhibits and a pictorial publication. The first of many photo shoots took place February 7, 2009 at Big Momma's coffee and espresso bar in Springfield Missouri involving approximately 20 people. Additional shoots will be planned for Springfield and other United states locations in upcoming weeks/months. I will also add to this project trough images collected during my travels involving journalistic-style shots and portraits.

I am excited about how this photographic effort is bringing people together who may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. Already, I feel honored to have met a number of people from various backgrounds. This project gives me much joy and opportunity for new, meaningful, relationships.
Warmest regards,
James
