This month John Arnold (PhotoWalkthrough.com), Jeff Curto (Camera
Position), Paul Giguere (Thoughts on Photography) and Rolf Steinort
(Meet the Gimp) are talking about goal setting and planning photographic
projects, taking pictures without a camera and with cameras that aren’t what you’re used to. We also talk about licensing images under the Creative
Commons License as opposed to putting them under strict Copyright and the
upcoming legislation in the US concerning orphaned works gets an
honorable mention.
