What the Duck "Call of the Wild"

McFadin Photography Coming to Watts Highschool

HELP SPREAD THE WORD

  McFadin Photography will be coming to Watts HighSchool on Fri January 30th 2009

I will be shooting photo's all night, Starting with the HomeComing Royalty and then the Basketball Game. Once the photos are shot and the night is over, I will edit all photos and then upload all photos to my website. (Please allow a couple of days for editing & uploading.) You will be able to purchase all photos from my website, Plus you will find all kinds of merchandise on the site also that you can have your favorite photos put on.

 Since I am not as well known in the Watts area as I am in other areas, I am asking for everyone who sees this article to Please let others know I will be there, and that they might find there photos on my website. I will be trying to get Biz Cards handed out to as many as I can during HomeComing, but it's hard to get to everyone, So help from anyone in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Also, If there is anyone out there that does not have access to a computer Please just contact me, and I would be glad to help you out anyway  I can in order for you to see your photos.

If you have any questions or helpful hints, Just send me an E-Mail and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

How to Look Good in a Photograph

The Photographer's Right

So I have been trying to think of what I would like to put in my first Blog. And then I thought about an experience that I had back around Halloween over at the Pinnacle Mall.  We took our Grandson Conner over there to do a little Trick or Treating, and of course I took my camera along. So we were going from store to store Conner's loading up on the Halloween Booty, I am fat and happy snapping photos left and right, Bugger men and goblins everywhere, When out of nowhere here come a rent a cop. He began questioning me on what I was taking photo's of, I told him I was shooting my Grandson on his first Halloween. He says well thats ok, but if I was shooting photos of any of the stores then he would have to run me off. Seems the Pinnacle Mall is copyrighted (according to him) Is it? or is it considered a public place? I'm no lawyer (Thank Heavens)

But it does bring up some interesting questions for photographers. Anyway Photographers do have rights, and I have come across this little bit of interesting reading that I would like to share with everyone.  Just because they say you can't, It doesn't mean you can't.

So go see this article ( The Photographer's Right )
