The notorious photograph, Man In A Polyester Suit, taken in 1980 by photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, sold at a Sotheby’s (New York) auction on Wednesday for $478,000. The sale makes the photograph one of the most expenisve photos ever sold, though it’s still quite a ways off from list topper, Rhein II which sold for a whopping $4.3M.

You’ll probably either love this guy’s sense of humor or hate it, but if you’ve ever to been to a concert, he makes a few points that will most likely resonate with you regardless of whether or not you appreciate his style. (I admit, I was turned off at first, but after about 20 seconds of listening to what he had to say, I totally became a fan.)

In the clip, Woody Roseland makes a heartfelt case against taking photos during the concert at all, but he’s accepted most everyone is going to just keep on doing it anyways. In an attempt to find a solution to the problem through compromise, he made this fun little video with a few suggestions on how to get better photos at concerts without royally ticking off the poor guy stuck standing behind you.

I’m sure you all are well mannered concertgoers and/or photographers, so while you may not need tips on taking better concert photos, I have a feeling you may still enjoy the video![Read More…]

Argentinian lawmakers are reviewing a possible new law which would extend the copyright on photographs and films from the current 20 years after date of publication, to a greatly extended 70 years after the photographer’s death.

As it stands, were the bill to go into effect, it would work retroactively–meaning thousands of photos that are currently in the public domain, would suddenly become copyrighted again. This, of course, would result in an overwhelming amount of unintentional infringements and thousands of images being pulled from the internet. [Read More…]
