What I mean by undocumented is the copyright is not filled in the Registration | U.S. Copyright Office. I used to teach budding photogs that yes all your media creations are yours under copyright laws but no Federal Judge will rule in your favor unless you have a 'official' copyright from the government. glenI firmly believe copyright is very important; people should be compensated for their work, & I always found it perplexing when people would pay for a bare-bones portrait package from our small-town photographer (who also had the contract to do school pix) & then send off for cheaper mail-order enlargements/wallet exchanges/etc. but had no concept that they were stealing from the photographer--both his income & skill.However, I did have a problem at Walmart last year when I wanted to make copies for my sister of some shots our grandfather took of the family farm in the early '60s. Since he had no equipment, he'd taken the negatives he wanted enlarged to 8x10s (from which I wanted the copies made) to the local photographer (in an even smaller town farther into the boonies of north Missouri), who then put his mark in the corner of the prints. Fortunately, the guy at the Walmart counter was willing to see the impossibility of getting an authorization for prints when all the parties were dead, from a studio that had been out of business for 50+ years.Thx to all of you who share your shots on LDO.Lynne 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1052 – May 31, 2020, 07:47:14 pm Yes , I can relate. I had a business as a professional photographer for over twenty years. I would sometimes "work for hire", meaning the person who hired me retained copyright to the film , prints, or negatives. For me, this was rare, compensation was negotiated to the benefit of both parties and a contract was signed before work began. I oftentimes would later recognize my work in publications that did not recognize the person who created the image and I was ok with that...I ran into many circumstances where my work suddenly appeared that was not "work for hire" and I was surprised, shocked, and disappointed...and then the "fun" began...

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1058 – June 03, 2020, 05:41:00 pm Wednesday out on the ocean. Son and Grandson completed the three generations on the boat. Son spent the day teaching grandson how to cast, catch, and retrieve. Seabirds diving on bait and fish boiling on the surface kept the location lively. We hoped for yellowtail and bonita, but the barries hit the jig as soon as it hit the water; a perfect way to keep the attention of a six-year-old. With no grandma or mother on board, he learned to smear the slime and blood off his hands and onto his pants. Grandson pulled in two calicos on the same jig, and the larger of the two legals was 6 lb. After catching 20-30 barracuda, grandson was ready to go home and we enjoyed fish cleaning and dinner! 11 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1060 – June 04, 2020, 01:27:49 pm Harold,Nice catch. When I was a kid, I went with my parents to purchase a home made boat that my father very soon afterward loaded our family of six and two dogs and headed to Catalina Island. I know that I’m imagining this, but on the trip over, I’d swear I could almost touch the ocean as we made our way to the island. I loved watching the dolphins skate through the swells as we made our passage across. What a joy to remember.We camped out at Isthmus Cove for a week. Swimming in the crystal clear waters and skiing behind the boat. My Mom and Dad loved to take us out fishing off the coast of Long Beach. We had a lot of fun hauling in Halibut. Great huge fish. My Mother, on one outing, had hooked a massive Halibut that my Father, quite by accident, knocked off the hook with the gaff as he tried to bring it aboard. 😬 She was not pleased. No not at all. This incident prompted my Mom to name the boat, ‘Never On A Sunday’. She seemed to have her worst fishing on that day of the week. Memories are special. Keep building yours. Kent 6 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1061 – June 04, 2020, 02:48:04 pm Kent, Great story, wonderful memories!When I was a kid, my dad used to take me to the boat show at the Cow Palace in San Francisco and every year he said "Someday we are going to have a boat." Dad was in the Sea Scouts in the 1930's and went to their camp at Emerald Bay. When I bought my first boat in 1982, I took Dad out to the camp, now the Boy Scout Camp. We toured it, he told me stories and his recollections, and showed me the parts that were there when he was a boy. Later on that visit, Dad spent so much time snorkeling in his swim suit at Two Harbors that he got a terrible sunburn on his back and the back of his legs! It was a special visit for him to return to the location of his childhood summers.Thanks for sharing your story.Harold 3 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1062 – June 04, 2020, 02:58:15 pm I had a dream one time where I invited all of humanity to a party. Somehow we were all able to fit in one room. This room had many doors. When I opened the door next to me there were my parents. Everyone left the main room and went into visit their parents. From there, there was another door and my parents and I went in to see all of my grandparents. We just kept opening doors and we all got to meet with our long dead ancestors. In this dream the family kept going from room to room and meeting their relatives from the past. Well, funny thing about this dream, I opened my final door and all of humanity, and all of the parents and grandparents through time opened up their last door, and ended up in Africa...strange dream huh?

I loved watching the dolphins skate through the swells as we made our passage across. What a joy to remember.Kent, My first trips to Catalina were from Newport Bay using a 15 1/2 foot Zodiac, a 32 mile crossing in a inflatable with an outboard. I would take all my dive gear, camping gear, food, and booze and camp at Two Harbors. It was REAL close to the water. Fog, ferries, and freighters were frightening. When I explained that I wanted to take the children, Cyndy decided it was time to buy a bigger boat. We bought a little 20 foot open Skipjack and took the whole family, a German Shepherd, food, camping gear, dive and camera gear, in a very overloaded boat. We rarely had more than 8 inches of freeboard in the open ocean. We anchored off the island, pulled a tarp over the boat, cooked on a Coleman stove on the engine box, hung wet towels all over the boat, and all five of us and the dog slept under the tarp. We took my youngest daughter in that boat when she was 5 months old. (When she was 2 1/2 years old, we would tie a rope to her life preserver mid-channel and let her swim around the boat.) It wasn't very smart, but no one died and we had some great times! Harold 2 Likes

I made one dive with the girl in the photo and she didn't want me to carry my gun. When I saw this fat halibut on the bottom, I took out my knife, stabbed it, and a wild ride ensued with me hanging on for dear life. It pulled the scale at 55lb. I've seen, but never taken such a big halibut since. We ate halibut for about a month. I still have that knife.Harold 5 Likes

The Aunt & The Uncle in Denver took us there in '97 (after the big fire in '96), & it's wonderful to see how things have come back. Love the wildflower pix, too, as taking wildflower pix was one of The Aunt's great pleasures on the Grand Mesa (they kept a TT parked at Cedaredge for a base of operations on that side).Lynne
