   This beautiful photograph was taken some years ago, I think in Wisconsin or Minnesota. It has been published and is almost certainly under copyright: so viewers please note, and don’t be tempted to steal it for any sort of commercial use.

     My breeding operation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so I’m in the clear (I think).

       The creator of the image (the photographer) or the entity to which the creator has assigned rights, still holds all rights unless express permission is given otherwise. So best course of action is, don’t use anyone else’s work/creation without getting permission first!

       With works created before a certain date (consult copyright law) most are “in the public domain”, so may be used/quoted/reproduced by anyone. Hence, anyone can reprint most of those old books/paintings/engravings from the 19th century and earlier. Currently, copyright in this country extends for 70 years after the creator’s death, unless registered and renewed with the Library of Congress. Also note that copyright attaches automatically, the work does not need to be registered with the LOC (although that is best way of proving provenance).

   Since we had no power last night, I got to watch some saved episodes of “Lie To Me” – one of my favorite shows about microexpressions. One of the teaching moments of this episode was that the way a photograph is taken and the way the subject is framed within the photo says tons about the relationship the photographer feels toward the subject.
