Notes: 4 / 4 months ago from oceanplait
I just got another notice of copyright violation from Tumblr! I swear, I’m getting really nervy about what I repost.
Sent as (the only) reply to the notifications:
G’morning,
Did you know that both Thaisa Fernandes (http://thaisa-fernandes.tumblr.com/) and Leandro Walicek (http://walicek.tumblr.com/) have Tumblr accounts? That specific one, I remember, because Ms. Fernandes was the model, and Mr. Walicek was the photographer, and both were fully credited.
I’m not protesting; it is entirely their right, as photographer and model, to claim I am in violation of their intellectual property. I didn’t take the shot; I didn’t model for the shot; so I do understand.
I’m just finding it ironic that a single reblog, placed on Tumblr to *BE* reblogged, one would assume, got me two notices of copyright violation.
Thought I’d point that out. I didn’t wander the web and track down some obscure site with screaming “MY CONTENT! MINE! YOU CANNOT HAZ!” banners on it. I reblogged it directly from Mr. Walicek’s Tumblr in question.
(That’s also slightly ironic; that that particular post seems to be missing from Mr. Walicek’s archive. Do you think Ms. Fernandes also filed a claim of copyright against her photographer?)
Cheers,
Em

Notes: 615 / 11 months ago from tinfoilandtea (originally from climateadaptation)Tin Foil, Tea, & the GOP: pixyled: Breaking: Republicans hear woman’s testimony on coal...
Maria was going to show another picture to the House subcommittee yesterday, this photo, which is a photo of a five year old child bathing in that kind of brown, poisonous water. The child is naked, as you normally are when you bathe. I’d invite you to click that link, and think about what, if anything, distresses you about it… Maria was told that she would not be allowed to show that photo. It was not appropriate. She had the blessing of the child’s parents, but Republicans on the subcommittee alerted the capitol police (according to Spencer Pederson, a spokesman for GOP panel members), and after the hearing, the capitol police took Maria aside for questioning about “child pornography.”
Hilarious. Especially considering the ruling on child pornography is all “I know it when I see it”.
Because yes, showing evidence of environmental atrocities is totes child pornography.
Unfucking believable.
This shit is what makes me not want to do this any more.

Light Field cameras make pictures similarly flexible. The incredible feature of this Lytro model is its ability to focus your photos after they’ve been shot — when you first take a picture, you don’t need to focus at all. Then later, when you view the photo on your camera or computer, you can choose what you want to be in focus. It legitimately feels like magic the first few times you try it, and even now amazes me to watch a photo I took shift its focus on my computer. The company has much bigger plans for its cameras — more on those below — but it’s not hard to believe that Light Field technology is going to upend the way we take pictures.

Before lumping this into “a problem with our modern world” too fast, though, remember that it was always thus: kings and queens were flattered by their bust-sculptors and portrait-painters, and as soon as photography was invented, there were retouchers. Drawing onto negatives with a pencil to prompt prints to come out lighter, or delicately scratching away emulsion to prompt prints to darken, they removed stray hairs, straightened noses, and erased double chins from the very first.

When Genovese stopped alongside a public road last year to photograph a mock-up of a military helicopter on display at an airport, she probably never thought anything of it. However, upon going to leave, she was approached by a police officer, who then asked her what she was doing. While the exact exchange between Genovese and Iberger has not been reported, apparently, something made Iberger call in to his superiors that he was dealing with a potential terrorist. In no time at all, several law enforcement agencies including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security were on the scene.
In the course of events that followed, Genovese was interrogated for 6 hours on the side of the road, was never informed of her rights, or offered legal council. In time, after the feds and airport authorities determined that Genovese posed no threat, they left. However, Iberger and Deputy Robert Carlock of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department decided to arrest Genovese and charge her with terrorism. The impetus, at least according to Genovese, was that she had a rifle locked in a case in her vehicle and upon finding it, the officers decided to teach her and the other “tea baggers” a lesson.

An interactive “War on Cameras” Map
Borrowing on the map of botched SWAT raids idea I put together when I was at the Cato Institute, “Dr. Q.” at the Cop Block website is working on a similar map plotting incidents in which police have arrested, threatened, or otherwise harassed someone who was trying to record them.

Los Angeles Teen Incarcerated Seven Months for Videotaping Cop
It’s been more than seven months since 18-year-old Jeremy Marks has been incarcerated in a Los Angeles jail for videotaping a police officer.
Seven months since they charged him with obstructing an officer, resisting arrest, criminal threats and “attempted lynching.”
Seven months since they told him he could serve seven years in prison for his “crime.”
Now they’re offering him a plea deal where he would serve 32 months in prison if he would just plead guilty to all the charges except the lynching charge.
But there is no evidence he did anything other than videotape an altercation between Los Angeles Unified School District police officer and a student who had been smoking a cigar.
