RELEASE(S) -- One More Necessity in Your Camera Bag – Skip Cohen: “In John Harrington’s, Best Business Practices for Photographers, an incredible resource book all photographers should have in their library, dedicated a whole chapter to the releases you need for models, adults, children, property and the like. It’s such an important aspect of protecting yourself, yet new photographers, especially, don’t even think about it! Learn to know when you need one and when you don’t and always opt on the side of caution. http://goingpro2010.com/2011/11/25/one-more-necessity-in-your-camera-bag/

PRIVACY -- “Don't Post Pictures of My Kid on the Internet” Farhad Manjoo and Emily Yoffe revisit the etiquette, and legality, of posting photographs of other people’s onlines. They decided to take a second look at the topic after listeners had strong reactions to a pervious post SOURCE: Slate; http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/manners_for_the_digital_age
TAKEAWAY: Don’t have an ‘expectation of privacy’ when you’re out in public, as Attorney Carolyn Wright is famous for saying; and we repeat it as often as possible here in PhotoStockNOTES. Unless you are physically trespassing, you have the right to freely take pictures of people and children in public places (including inside homes where you have been invited) as illustrated in this SLATE article.) Be sure to listen to the audio interview included.
