This coming Monday evening we have a chance to get an expert view on an interesting subject for photographers - copyright issues. This is a wide topic of concern today, and you need some background knowledge if you offer your photos to others for viewing or seek to use others' photos.
Our speaker on this is Lesley Ellen Harris, a copyright lawyer, author and educator. She will discuss how to protect your photographs in traditional and digital media, what to do if someone uses your photographs without your permission, and terms and conditions when licensing and assigning your photographs and working on assignment.
Lesley has been working in copyright law since 1983 while still in law school, and consults on copyright issues in the U.S. and Canada and the around the world. She is well qualified to provide us an overview of U.S. and international copyright law and the protection of photographs. Since 1998, Lesley has made her home on the South River in Annapolis. See information about her work at http://copyrightlaws.com.
Lesley would be happy to receive your copyright questions in advance -- email Don Dement right away and he will forward your questions to Lesley.

Matting and framing, and a request
There are two upcoming opportunities to learn about presentations. A class to help you mount your photographs yourself is being offered at MD Hall by Instructor David Ashman. He spoke at our last meeting announcing this, to be held on April 18, next Saturday afternoon for $70. More info is on the website http://www.marylandhall.org/classes/detail/classitem5132.html
As he described at the meeting, David is willing to follow the matting course with a follow-on: a Framing Workshop to learn custom framing techniques for your matted images. To be given at low cost, this workshop needs a location.
The theme will be cost-effective custom framing. It includes proper selection of materials and use of tools, glazing choices, and artwork installation techniques using metal, wood and canvas floater frames. Handouts would include lists of materials and sources.
David asks whether a member can identify a place to hold this workshop. Contact David at david@davidashmanphotography.com
