david_richert Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I�m posting this for a friend who had a binder of her negatives removed from her luggage by TSA while in route from Honolulu to Vancouver BC. Her luggage was open with out her being there and a note inserted in the suitcase stating the fact. The next day she noticed all her negatives missing (1800+). She is filing a claim but not sure of her legal and monetary value of her negatives. If any one has had a similar experience any help would be appreciated.

Jerry_ Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 She should contact and confer with a lawyer. Film is going to be paid for with a equal amount of un-exposed film: unless you have a lawyer versed in the 'loss of income' value of the negatives. Does your friend earn 'income' from photography? Can she produce numerous invoices and tax information records? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_chananie Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Your friend should get in touch with a lawyer named Bert Krages, who is a photographer and posts on photo.net. He is protective of photographer's rights. A figure that is often discussed for lost pictures in the stock photography business is $1,500 US per image.
