Santorum: I don't need to correct claim Obama is... →
When your cowardice is self-serving, it’s OK. Is that it, Santorum? I remember well when a similar comment was made before McCain in the last election cycle. I wasn’t for McCain in any fashion; I didn’t appreciate several comments he made during the campaign; but at least he was man enough, statesman enough, to get this issue right by speaking directly to the person in the...

Wow! That's Deep, Pops. "Listening," You Say? →
How ‘bout we go back to your foot-draggin’ on the issue of your fellow “celibates” who raped young children? (The CNN program What the Pope Knew is available online.)

To a Fellow Photographer →
I hear you. One can spend untold hours trying to police the distribution of his or her own work. But don’t let the selfish and ignorant and mean-spirited determine what you’ll do for your own pleasure. In the end, people with no creativity steal the product of your creativity (what else are they capable of doing?), and people with no class won’t be able to muster the energy to...

NOTE: "the person who pressed the shutter button" →
I reblog here a smart piece. It’s a brief lesson in ethics (not to mention law) for models who claim—and claim on a modeling site—that they own a portion of the copyright (after having signed a contract that says otherwise and after having been paid for their work), for fellow photographers (who are more than happy to use the photographer’s photo of a model who’ll be...
