YOU PHOTOGRAPHED ME AT THE HOTEL UTAH MIC -
WHERE CAN I SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS?
Click on the links above to access photographs. They are sorted by year. You will be able to access web use, editorial (non-commercial use) images as well as embeddable flash photo slideshows.
The most recent photographs are streamed to a flash photo slideshow on the Hotel Utah Open Mic website, as well as their myspace page.
In addition, a portion of the photographs are uploaded to Flickr, MySpace, Facebook and Yelp.
YOU PHOTOGRAPHED ME QUITE A WHILE AGO. WHY AREN'T THE PHOTOGRAPHS ONLINE YET?
It can take me a considerable amount of time to post process images and get them online. Coverage of the open mic is an unpaid, volunteer residency - and I work on this project as much as my schedule permits.
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTO USAGE POLICY?
Click here to read the 200pockets editorial photography usage policy & terms of use.
I DISLIKE YOUR PHOTO POLICY.
It is a policy based on the best practices of the American Society of Media Photographers and Editorial Photographers of which I am a member.
Mindful of the legal constraints of media photography with a sensitivity to meeting the needs of artists, musicians, venues, fans and media.
WHY CAN'T I DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH THESE PHOTOGRAPHS?
Live event photography involve multiple parties (artists, bands, venue, photographer) & under the law - none can profit/benefit without the permission of all parties involved. Permission is granted via signed release forms.
The majority of images in the 200pockets photography collection are without signed releases; so currently these photographs can only be used for editorial (non-commercial) use only (ie. blogs, music reviews, news articles).
Summarization
NO signed artist release + NO signed venue/property release
+ permission of photographer
= Editorial use only
SIGNED artist release + SIGNED venue/property release
+ permission of photographer
= Commercial use
For those artists who have a signed release on file with 200pockets - a few additional accomodations can be granted.
In the future, I hope to be able to convince venues to sign a property release; and should this come to fruition, photographs can then be released for commercial use (ie. CD covers, etc.)
SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?
You may use these images on social networking sites as long as the image carries the 200pockets copyright notice. [Click here] to read a recent legal analysis of social networking sites & photography.
