Hi folks. Zaninum has access to the Oscars, but we don't have a photographer. Obviously it would be good for both commons and wikinews to have someone there. Any takers. See http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/assistance#Los_Angeles_photog_needed_Sunday_evening . An ad on craiglist was also posted (Its copied below): ----- Wikinews has red carpet access to the The Hollywood Reporter/Children Uniting Nations Oscar viewing and afterparty. Its being held at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, this Sunday afternoon and evening. We need a volunteer photographer for this event (Wikipedia, Wikimedia, Wikinews are all charitable foundations) to attend and take photos on our behalf. These photos will be used on Wikinews, and you will receive a paragraph of credit in the Wikinews article, including a link to your portfolio website. The images will also be used on Wikipedia, where you will receive credit on the image's description page. Images must be released as CC-BY-3.0, meaning they can be used freely, so long as you receive credit, as the photographer. According to the press release, "This year, DJ AM, the Jabbawockeez and Doug E. Fresh will keep the guests on their feet and in the mood to celebrate and join hosts comedian Tommy Davidson and Fox 11's reporter/journalist Christine Divine. Confirmed guests include: Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn), Stephen Dorff, Garcelle Beauvais (NYPD Blue, The Jamie Foxx Show), Camryn Manheim (The Practice, Ghost Whisperer), Christina Milian, additional attending guests, performers and honorees will be announced shortly."
