Right now ... I just figured out that I couldn't get onto TVCH from work today. I think they may have blocked me. That sucks!

right now, nic, you probably need to clean out your cookies and make sure your bookmark points to www.tvclubhouse.com it probably has to do with the server thingie that went down, not your work.

RN, at our schools, they cannot show movies brought from home due to infringement rights. there used to be a 'movie club' where they watched and discussed movies, but no more. unless every single student brings the movie to school to show they have purchased it, you cannot view a movie anyone brings to school. period. i guess you can rent them from some big movie house, but it's about 200 bucks.
stupid, IMO.

RN, i spent 4 hours on a chair at the dealership while they installed a new sound barrier on the firewall of my new car. someone had pressure-washed the old one which tore it up some, and to fix it, had cut out huge sections of it with a razor blade. (they left the blade sitting on the battery, so it was pretty obvious!) to get that stuff in, they had to remove about two dozen things.
DD is at her senior banquet. she made chocolate cupcakes and turned them upside down after removing the baking paper cups. then she frosted them and put a chocolate covered square cookie on top, with little strips of twizzlers as tassels, held on with a little yellow frosting. since their colors are red and gold, it looked cool. i let her take the new car. gulp! i am sure she parked out in siberia, so no one hits it getting in or out of their car.
i have had a few calls about the jetta, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it sells.

and yeah, NIC: TOSS YOUR COOKIES!

RN, why I would never do that Landi. There's a six month copyright on professional pics and I think that includes school pics since they're done by photographers.

Also RN my printer is acting funky and I've been having to very labourously feed photo paper thru it and it takes forever just to print out a pic I've dl'd from my camera. I'm not sure if the scan part of it is working or not since I get too frustrated with it for longer than an hour or two.

RN Seamonkey, thanks for correcting my spelling. Yes, I meant NASCAR! Had a great time. 3rd time I've been and we've had seats in different areas around the track each time.

RN I really messed up big time. Sunday was a very sunny day and I applied sunscreen, EXCEPT forgot my face! I's as red as a beet...and hurts like heck. Have not had a sunburn since my 20's and have forgotten how I should treat it. I've just been applying moisturizer like crazy.

RN when we returned home last night, I really wanted to check out this board, was too pooped and sore. Then get on tonight to find out site had been down. But I still missed you guys!

RN (actually last night) if anyone knows how to "treat" a sun burn on the face, I'd appreciate any advice. It really hurts and I feel like such a baby!

right now, sadly that's why photographers can't trust their clients enough to send them decent copies of pictures and more and more are requesting to be paid up-front to shoot events.

RN try some aloe vera, Oldtex. It takes the sting out at least. Then use some kind of mosturizer when it doesn't hurt so bad. Drink tons of water too and use a good chap stick (lips hurt worse than almost anything.) Also if you're going back out in the sun, put on a hat. Don't want to make it any worse than it is.

RN, put a bag of frozen peas on your face!

RN, i am going to go to bed and read for a little while. i got up much too early this morning, so i'm going to sleep in til at least 8:00 tomorrow. i hope...

DD had a good time at the senior banquet and she said her dessert went first. a lot of the kids who were in charge of bringing dessert brought store bought cookies, so her cupcakes/cookies that looked like mortarboards were a hit.

A counselor called while she was gone and asked me to have her call him. He wants to nominate her for a scholarship...

RN thanks War...my Mother is a big believer in aloe vera, forgot about it somehow. Actually lips are fine, I applied a good sunscreen lip balm all day, just can't understand why I forgot my face. I think my brain got a little fried too!

Thank again!

RN, Jimmer does the copyright for professional pics extend to the internet as well? Email? It's been a few years since we bought any from the school (other than the class pics in the fall and the small package that comes with the little league fees.) Probably wouldn't have bought these except it has been such a long time since we bought any professional ones and they turned out really nice. LOL, that reminds me I need to write checks for them too!

You're welcome, Oldtex. I'm a red head so I have plenty of experience, lol. I tend to forget the back of my neck which is really a pain since anywhere we go that I need sunscreen is usually somewhere I've tied my hair back for. If it wasn't for Darren reminding me about that spot I'm sure it'd be permanently burned.

Right now yes it does. However, there is no technical way to prevent people from copying images on the Internet. As part of my session fee, I give my clients smaller versions of the images and I'm more than happy if they want to send the smaller versions to family and friends. A lot of pros don't even want to do that.

Right now, the problem is that it has become so easy to steal (harsh but that is what it is) a photographer's work that a lot of photographers are forced to ask for their compensation in advance and/or watermark images to make them useless to copy.

If the client wants to buy one print and then make a bunch of photocopies of it, then to make a living the photographer is going to have to charge more for the session up-front or more for that one print or not take the pictures at all. The alternative is losing money and going out of business.

If they sent you an 8 x 10 to look at and then return at no charge, they aren't going to be in business very long because people will take advantage of that.

Remember that all good photographers are just trying to make a living and provide a useful service.

Right now, sorry to be so long-winded!

Rn thanks Jimmer! Not long winded, a good explanation though to my question. Seems kind of odd after reading that that the school photographer lets them send home the picture package and then collects the money! We get the regular photos in the package, keep what we want and send our money and the rest back and have 10 days to do it. Usually we just pull the pics out, look at them then send them back, but I'm wondering what's to keep people from taking them out, scanning them, then sending the package back.

LOL, other than me, I've been trying to print out pics I took at the baby shower for over a week and think I have about 8 pages done because it's been taking so long having to hand feed the dang sheets through. It's really starting to tick me off cuz this is why I don't normally buy professional pics, I can take my own with the kids doing something fun rather than posed and print out what I want for family and friends.

RN, the infringement thing about showing movies at school does make sense. Doesn't the warning shown on videos state that it cannot be used for public viewing?

RN, I guess because I knew it was illegal, I've never thought about trying to copy school pics. My son's school takes pics at the beginning of school and then a class pic and individual pics in the spring. While the fall pics have the usual blue background, the spring pics look professional with a background and pose on paper, bookmarks, magnets, etc. I don't have any problem paying for them as they are cheaper than going to a studio.

RN aren't the spring portraits amazing? Especially compared to when we were kids, lol. One of the differences here at least is when they do fall pictures, they all get done the same day so it looks like they rushed through (kids with hair sticking up or eyes closed or whatever.) Spring pics are done over a few days and you can tell the photographers take their time getting the kids posed and making sure they look nice.
