It seems to me that this musuem’s policy is simply another example of a museum who lets some power hungry curator draft some totally daft policy that is both unenforceable and in direct conflict with it’s mission statement.

In posting the photos, the White House chose the least restrictive license available, a Creative Commons Attribution license — which means the public is free to download, copy, and re-mix freely, so long as the original photographer is credited.
While this is certainly better than releasing the photos under the usual copyright rules (no use without permission, specific license and compensation), the license made us wonder: if these are official photos by the official White House photographer, aren’t they government works? If so, they aren’t copyrightable, which means they needn’t be licensed at all, but should instead be flagged as public domain.

From washingtonpost.com:
the recent release of Justice Department memos authorizing the use of harsh interrogation techniques has given Graner and other soldiers new reason to argue that they were made scapegoats for policies approved at high levels. They also contend that the government’s refusal to acknowledge those polices when Graner and others were tried undermined their legal defenses

From A Photo Editor – SPD Photography Award Nominees Online Now:I love seeing incredible photography in a well designed page. In the end the design can make or break the impact of the photography. There’s some great designers out there but it usually comes down to whether or not the editor will let them do their thing.

These two Panasonic cameras are the first in a new camera format called Micro Four Thirds, developed in partnership with Olympus. The concept is deliciously simple: shrink an S.L.R. by removing the mirror box.
