WELCOME all new
and returning members.
If you plan on putting your art on
the web you should have it copyrighted. A Creative Commons
license allows you to set legal conditions on your copyright to
assist people wanting to use your art. Katie Sunstrom, a
copyright attorney, and Christine Tremoulet , an international
wedding photographer, gave us insight on how to go about doing
just that. Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization.
They
have also provided us with links to their web for more
information. Please check out our Resource page to their links
and learn how you can protect your art rights.
I know we
have provided a lot of legal information and some of you feel why
learn all of this when you have no intention of going into
business. If you share your photos on the web, you are putting
your work out there to be stolen unless you try to give it some
protection. Why should you do all the hard work in getting the
photo and thieves get the benefit?

President
Chris and
Erin MacMillan-Ramirez
For over 13 years, Chris and Erin
MacMillan-Ramirez have worked together as a photographic and
filmmaking team. They will explore the relationship between the
subject and the artist. Erin has been both the subject of her
self-portraits and the artist behind the concept of the
photograph. Chris has been her trusted partner helping Erin to
achieve her artistic goals. Where is the line between artist and
assistant? Chris and Erin hope to answer this and create a dialog
on the subject. They will also address the shared passion of
filmmaking that has kept their relationship strong and
challenging year after year. The love of the frame, whether
moving or still, and the composition within it is the focus of
their life and career.

Park, and continue winding westward through the bayou's
wilderness. East of downtown, you will experience historic
railroad bridges, barge docks, and other remnants of Houston's
industrial past.

Project Being Planned
We are getting closer for a go on
our photo project. Will Kennard, is working with Montgomery
County EMS and Conroe Fire Department to set up the project for
the Woodlands Photo Club. Mr. Kennard needs two volunteers to
help manage the project once it gets started. The volunteers will
help in signing up folks between the EMS and Fire Department. We
anticipate that the club will have the opportunity to ride with
EMS and/or the Fire Department to take photographs of our local
heroes in action. At the end of the project, we will have a show
to display them and ourselves at work. Will is going to send an
update on his activities, as well as the scope of the project
along with a few of his experiences in putting the Houston show
together with the HFD. This should be forthcoming in the next
couple of weeks.
