That's a great blog post.  Not sure how you're going to top that on the
rest of the trip!

:-)

I've added the RSS feed to Sage (the feed reader add-on to Firefox that
I use) so I'll be able to keep tabs on your progress.

Keep the posts coming, by the way.  Writing the blog on our recent trip
across Oz and back has proved to be a great record of the trip.  I keep
referring back to it even several months after completing it.  It
doesn't really matter if no one else ever reads it!

Re: Photographer arrested at mall

2009-12-20 Thread Christine Aguila
In Kenneth Kobre's book Photojournalism:  The Professionals' Approach  6th 
edition, Kobre provides on page 393 a chart titled, Where and When a 
Photojournalist Can Shoot


Listed in the category Private But Open to the Public:

Shopping Mall and Store in Mall:  a photojournalist can shoot only with 
permission

Movie Theater Lobby: a photojournalist can shoot If no one objects
Business Office Hotel Lobby:  a photojournalist can shoot If no one 
objects

Restaurant:  a photojournalist can shoot If no one objects
Casino:  a photojournalist can shoot only with permission
Museum:  a photojournalist can shoot with restrictions


Photographing Children:

According to Kobre there are no legal restrictions that prohibit 
photographing children in public places.


You need the school principal's permission to photograph kids at school. 
Interestingly, legally, the principal does not need to get parent permission 
for kids to be photographed at school, though school principals often say 
they do, but according to Kobre, the courts do not require parental 
permission to take pictures of children in schools.


Kobre does caution about suspicious parents etc when photographing kids. 
His advice is always to be courteous and forthright in explaining who you 
are and what you are trying to do.



On page 401, Kobre gives Tips for Avoiding Jail offered by Lucy A. 
Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the 
Press, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting journalists' First 
Amendment rights:


2 of the 9 tips is as follows:

Do whatever a police officer orders you to do, even if it seems 
unreasonable or ridiculous or interfers with your job, unless you're willing 
to live with the consequences of being arrested.


Do not call the arresting officer names or get into a shoving match.

Just an FYI.
Cheers, Christine

For a break from snowy shots, which, to  everyone's great delight, I will 
get back to shortly... 

Going through  the archives, I ran across a whole bunch shot like this. 
Basically seriously  underexposed, but I can bring the details up pretty 
effectively in  Lightroom.

In this instance, I think that works pretty well. From the Mom  at 90

Re: OT - Epic journey to Oz

On 19/12/09, Christian, discombobulated, unleashed:

Also, I believe it was Rob Studdert that questioned the weight of my new
carry on 500mm lens-holding rolling camera bag.  Well, just because it
fits in the carry on luggage rack doesn't mean you can bring it on a
Qantas flight.  I got dinged on it today.  They allow 7kg per carry on.
  Mine with 500m lens, 300mm lens, body, flash etc weight 15kg.  Oops.
I had to buy a special bag just for the 500/4...

Interesting. I think some check more than others, especially long
distance like Australia. I always go on the maxim that if it looks
heavy, it *is* heavy. When I went through check-in with my Lowepro
Stealth backpack to America once, it was loaded to the gun'ls with kit
and I estimated about 30 lbs. I had it draped casually over one shoulder
for the whole time - it damn near killed me but the act of putting it
down and picking it up would have aroused suspicion as that was a two-
handed job. It worked.

Another ploy that I use when working and traveling with someone else
(not family) is we check-in separately while one waits out of view of
check-in with the hand luggage, and then vice-versa. Check-in staff are
often over-zealous newbies who don't miss a trick. Problem is they are
often ill-advised under exceptional circumstances.

On a recent trip to Rome, check-in staff caused a fracas because my TV
camera in it's carry-on bag was too big for carry-on size. Fine I said,
I'll check the bag and carry the camera. The camera in itself is not a
piece of luggage, it's a camera, and so there is no specified maximum
size for carrying on a camera. Apparently when it's in the bag, then
it's an issue, although never had this problem before. Zillions of TV
crews travel daily around the world carrying the same gear. The newby
check-in girl had not come across this. The duty manager was called and
a line formed behind us (we had not deployed our separate check-in
routine, natch) but after numerous walky-talky exchanges, it was deemed
better to carry the camera in the soft case for safety (other passengers
as well as the camera's). We were told that security clearance going air-
side would be the final determination, and if it was not okay with them,
then the bag went separately.

At security clearance the first guard said no problem. Oh we get these
crews all the time with big cameras, yeah no problem go straight through.

The duty manager apologised.

Yet if we'd used our separate check-in procedure, we would have saved 30
minutes and had the same result.

Have fun in Oz mate - get some good pics :-)

P.S.  I'm not getting embroiled in a defense of Kobre's credibility or

Frankly, I don't.  Moreover, there's a difference between arguing what the

Ther actual domain registration should be cheap (I pay $10/year or less).
There are possibly other associated costs, such as hosting fees for the

I'm sure Doug knows there are many of us willing to contribute, if he so

GESO - Low 302 (and I'm published)

My friend Loene had a christmas gig at a cosy downtown bar, Low 302 last 
night. On Friday, she had a nice little write up in the Daily Tele, with 
one of the promo shots we took some years ago.


http://members.iinet.net.au/~derbyc/09/09_12/09_12_tele/01.htm

The bar itself is great. Beautiful grand piano, friendly natives, and 
that rarest of commodities, intimacy. But, man, the lighting is Low. And 
red.

Chicago Photowalk--2 options

2009-12-20 Thread Christine Aguila

Hi Everyone:

Photowalk Option #1--we'd probably have to do this one on Saturday--we 
couldn't do the galleries on a Sunday.


Everyone meets at Chicago ave  Wells under the Brown Line El tracks.  We 
head straight-a-way to both the Stephen Daiter Gallery ( 
http://www.stephendaitergallery.com/ ) and Catherine Edelman Gallery ( 
http://www.edelmangallery.com/ ).  Darrel  I have a good friend working at 
the Daiter Gallery.  I'll tell him we might come by,  maybe he'll give us a 
special look-see around the place.  NO PROMISES, but I will let him know 
we're coming.  (Chicago Gallery Guide 
http://art-collecting.com/galleries_il_chicago.htm ).  Then we head east on 
Chicago ave. toward Michigan ave--see the Water Tower, tramp  clown around 
the square, walk over to stare at the John Hancock, or go up to the top--the 
view is great!!!.  After nudging everyone's vertigo to the forefront, we 
head north and slightly west by way of Rush  Oak streets heading towards 
Division and State streets.  We tramp,  clown,  make beautiful pictures,  
drink,  eat,  shop all along the way. Folks could then catch the Red Line 
at Clark  Division to head home or to a brothel of their choice if they've 
discovered where one is.  This option's a bit of a walk, but very doable. 
Our Mountain Goat will probably complain about it's ease, but the rest of us 
will feel well walked by end of day!


Photowalk Option # 2

We all meet at the Old Town Ale House on North ave ( 
http://www.oldtownalehouse.net/  there's music at this site.  don't yell at 
me).  We all start with a quickie:  a shot, a beer, and a pretzel, then head 
east on North ave, ending up at North ave Beach.  We tramp  clown around, 
see the North Ave boat house, maybe walk to Oak street beach, walk back, 
take pictures of each other.  If the volleyball players are out, you can 
gaze at nearly naked dudes and dudettes.  We then head west on North Ave, 
maybe stop at the Chicago Historical Society ( http://www.chicagohs.org/ ), 
but continue on with purpose to North  Wells, the heart of Old Town, (which 
isn't the Old Town I grew up with, but it's still fun), where we tramp  
clown,  take pictures,  drink,  eat,  shop more if you like.


I'll be posting more photo options, but there's time for that.  If you want 
me to try and work in something you want to see in a photowalk option, just 
let me know.  I'll give it a shot.


Cheers, Christine

P.S.  I'd really like to do a PDML group shot on the beach somewhere.  I'd 
be bummed if we didn't do that--but if we couldn't make it happen, I'd 
probably be able to get over the disappointment.  Just FYI.

Makes me wonder why he hasn't thought of suing the various employment
agencies for offering Jobs...

2009/12/20 Cotty cotty...@mac.com:
 On 19/12/09, Joseph McAllister, discombobulated, unleashed:

In the United States, more than 60% of all the apples sold
commercially are grown in Washington state.

 I think Steve Jobs has a lawsuit lined up against the state for selling
 that particular fruit.

This several blocks from my apartment, tucked way at the back of a
crooked, cul-de-sac alleyway.  Maybe that's why it's not been defaced
or why there are no tags or other graffiti in the area:

http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/12/style-garage.html

The title was borrowed from a clothing store I once passed by (don't
even remember where - the name stayed with me though), but somehow it
seems appropriate here.

Hope you enjoy.  Comments always welcome.

Christine,
Can we get some basic paramaters on this event?
What's the count on who's coming?  Committed vs Intending and
International vs not?
What activities on what days?  Is it a Thursday night pre-opening
party or is that Friday?
Will US folks do Friday-Sat-Sunday?  International a bit longer on either end?
Can we get most folks at hotel 1 or hotel 2 (alternative price classes?).
I'm thinking that I have a 6 passener van and we could do some tours.
Is Jostein coming?  Can he bring his slide show of the Antarctic?
(Why should the folks at Nordfjord photoclub have all the fun.)

Yes. I reserved the slot in my calendar as soon as Christine took this

 Can he bring his slide show of the Antarctic?

Of course I can. Hope someone has a projector and a suitably darkened room...

Not much. But there's a certain amount of work involved in keeping the list up.

Moreover, there's a difference between arguing what the laws *should be*

It sounds like quite often, the authorities themselves have no idea what the

Re: Chicago Photowalk--2 options

Christine,
I do have a 4 bedroom house and all my kids have moved out, but it's a
long way from a McMansion.  Depending on how many are attending, I'm
sure we can find an appropriate venue and projector.  Maybe the 'usual
suspects' can call out their intentions and we'll take a count.
Regards,  Bob S.

 Is Jostein coming?

 Yes. I reserved the slot in my calendar as soon as Christine took this
 initiative.

 Can he bring his slide show of the Antarctic?

 Of course I can. Hope someone has a projector and a suitably darkened
 room...

 Hey Jostein:  You know, Bob Sullivan has this big beautiful sprawling house
 in Downers Grove, which would make for a fun slide show night!  :-)))
 Cheers, Christine

 Well, I feel really stupid.  all the nice suggestions by Tim  all the guys
 who aren't Tim  :-)) got me thinking while cooking dinner--turns out, I,
 at some point in the past, bought 3 Quantaray neoprene straps.  I've already
 put one on the K10D and another film camera I have.  Turns out the 3rd one
 was for the K20D--just hadn't put it on yet.  I dug this new strap out of
 a box of things in my closet and have just put it on the K20D.  Geeze,  how
 dopey of me.

 Thanks for the suggestions and being patient with the mentally aging.

From what I remember of that series, Marnie, it deserves more than a GESO.
