Agreed -- excellent work, Laura and Bidgee! On case studies -- one person who has self-documented extensively on gaining access to public figures for photos is David Shankbone. But he's blogged about tons of things, so it will take a little work to dig through and find the best reflective posts on that subject.
Here's a 2009 article about his work: http://www.cjr.org/on_the_job/the_wikinews_ace.php?page=all His blog is at http://shankbone.org It would be awesome to explore the kinds of techniques various people have used to get this kind of access! A good project for the GLAM portal or other outreach pages. -Pete On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 1:00 PM, Sarah Stierch <sarah.stie...@gmail.com>wrote: > Great photos Laura!
