backsight

One of the things that I do with my photography equipment while I leave it in the car is to put it in a ice chest. I wrote on top of the chest with a permanent marker, �Fish Bait�. The cooler keeps the equipment from getting too hot sitting in the car and the label keeps the curious from opening it.

Shopping bags and grungy suitcases work well as camera bags when shooting in questionable locations.

I have just been hired by a construction firm to photograph a new

roof of a public school. This firm wants to show the photo on one

of their brochures. Normally, getting a photo release is no

problem. Unfortunately school is out for the summer and nobody is

around to sign one. I have to get these photos taken within two

weeks and summer vacation still is a month and a half longer. The

question I have is it legal to photograph the roof without a release

for commercial use.

I was just cruising around the net and found this Iranian photo-

artist website. There is some interesting street photography and

other images from various Iranians. http://www.kargah.com/
