You are not strictly copying another's work, merely reproducing it. I also believe it is ok for a painter to make a copy of someone else's painting (i.e. the Mona Lisa) as long as said painter doesn't claim the painting is the original Mona Lisa by Leonardo Davinci. It is impossible to reproduce a photo exactly, so go ahead and make your best go at it. -Scott

Re: "Photo-plagiarism"
re-create and, if successful, to display on PUG sometime. Would this not be seen as "photo-plagiarism"? I have seen zillions of beautiful photo's which I would love to try however I am always concern about the consequences. How do you guys feel about this? Regards Naomi This would be another of my suggestions for PUG. Let's select a photo that, theoretically, all of us could shoot (not underwater, walking on the moon or using a high-powered microscope). But for example a night street with light trails, candid through the branches of a tree, water reflection or whatever else. The photo should be such that wherever we are we can 're-create' it, however it cannot be done at the same spot as the original. And then it would be interesting to see how many very different versions of that one photo we could come up with. What do you think? (*)o(*) Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: "Photo-plagiarism"
We are all "photo plagiarists" to some degree. If you see a photo that incites your creativity, go ahead and try to make your own version of it, or use it as an inspiration to create something even more your own. It's hard to know where one's creative spirit comes from ... some time ago I made a photo of a couple of cars in a field. A few days later a friend showed me a photo made by W. Eugene Smith, who, incidentally, is one of my favorite photographers, that was clearly a precedent to mine. I suppose ... can't say for sure, but it seems likely ... that Smith's work influenced my vision, and maybe i never would have seen my photo had i not seen his years before. shel belinkoff Naomi van der Lippe wrote: > Hi all > > Hope all the New Year's resolutions are holding up! > > I have seen a photo in a pamphlet on photography which I would like to > re-create and, if successful, to display on PUG sometime.
