I like the first one with the houses in the valley and on the hill. I can only imagine the details in the full resolution.

211 leather samples x 3 deliverables each. All I could think of was Joe Kitchen's Arnold Newman quote:

"Photography is one percent inspiration and 99 percent ~~moving furniture~~ cleaning and blowing dust off."

Well, that and patent leather is a royal pain to photograph...

LOL, dust on still life is a [female dog]!

Just saw the 211 samples; damn that would have driven me crazy.

Shot this for Illy Coffee back in November. Was a pretty fun shoot, and with all the coffee on set, I never wanted to drink paint so much in my life.

My favorite is the first one.

The first is definitely my favorite, too. A great shot!
Thanks for sharing these.

Two more prints found a new home in a collection! Both of these photographs were captured back in 2003 for the sculptural nudes series Intertwined. Photographed on 6x7 black and white film, then recently scanned, edited and archivally printed and matted, finally ready for viewing. I love these two side by side complementing each other in both the composition and the tonal scale.

Shot this project about a year ago. It was for a law firm selling their Tudor mansion in Philadelphia that they were using as an office and had outgrown. Their thought was to have some architectural details captured that they would then print and frame to hang in their new office.

They gave me no real direction other then I should capture vignettes in black and white. They also paid me for the photography the morning of (required in my contract since I knew with projects like this it could take a while for them to make a selection), so it was not on my plate to try and get taken care of right away. I did follow up a couple times last summer, but they have not made up their minds yet. Just reached out today and they decided to move in another direction.

It would have been nice to see them printed at 30x40 inches, but oh well. I do plan on using a few for myself though.

Very nice, I can see why you would like to see them printed and hung. I'd print one for myself. Any scope to sell prints to the new owners?

Something to re-shoot in 20 years

Eric Myrvaagnes · « **Reply #2851 on:** April 19, 2019, 05:37:52 pm »

Absolutely!
I hope they can be as cheerful in 20 years.

Very nice Joe, particularly like #11 and #18.

But, who owns the copyright?

In many legal systems, copyright belongs to the party who commissioned the work (the law firm) unless the photographer negotiated differently.

I own the copyright to all of my work; it is always listed in my contracts. I do, and have, refused to work with companies that request(ed) otherwise. Additionally, they still have not paid me in full and no rights are granted unto the client until full payment is received (another clause in my contract). Now the remainder they owe really is for the printing and framing, so it is not something I am pursuing, but still part of the overall total.

In the USA, copyright automatically belongs to the creator of that intellectual property, unless a contract states otherwise or if it was "work for hire."

JoeKitchen · « **Reply #2855 on:** April 25, 2019, 10:56:35 am »

Anyway, off the legal talk, thanks Tony, Roger and Ghaag.

I have not thought about approaching the new owners, although I think they may be one of the sons, and current partners, of the firm. Not sure if he plans on keeping the property or will sell it for profit. It is in a very expensive part of Philly.

On top of that, I don't have the sale of prints incorporated into my business, so I would not know the ins and outs of making it work. I am far too busy with my commercial work to really devote effort to it as well.
