  • William Klein Sues for Plagiarism and Wins

    Paris has been sunny for the past couple of weeks—especially for photographer William Klein. In case you missed this news, he just won a lawsuit against fashion designer John Galliano for plagiarism. A Paris judge awarded Klein $250,000 after deciding that ads created for Galliano's fashion line (above) too closely resembled images created by Klein some 15 years ago (below). In those images, Klein used a technique in which contact sheets are blown up then painted over. It's nice to see a photographer gets his creative due. But where will this line of thinking lead?

  • Tip of The Day: Clean it Up

    I use a new 10cc syringe with a 23-gauge hypodermic needle to clean the image sensor of my DSLR.

According to an article from bankrate.com in MSN’s real estate section, the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) legal counsel says the organization’s code of ethics requires agents to provide a true picture, although some touching up is allowed. Basically, it’s up to each agent to decide what the limitations are, which has some potential home buyers annoyed. Some realtors take their own photos, while others hire professional photographers.

  • Tip of the Day: Find Your Place

    Clip a small compass to your camera bag when exploring new territory. Use it to quickly determine there the sun will rise and set. It will help you visualize a landscape’s lighting at different times of day- and can be a real lifesaver if you lose your way. —Reader Tip from Michelle Harbour, Hayes, VA
