No Justice in Copyright Theft
Posted on Thursday, Jul 14th, 2011 in The IPWS Blog by Alan Murphy | 1 Comment
Today is the final day to submit your submission to the Copyright Review Commission. Let us hope that the Department of Jobs, Entreprise and Innovation pay more regard to copyright than their colleagues in the Department of Justice who clearly see nothing wrong in robbing copyright images for their own use. It would appear they downloaded an image from Flickr by Cork photographer John Finn and used it ... Read More »

Check out Dublin 50 Years Apart - A Project from Paul Walsh.
I love the way you can easily do things on the internet and this is one great example. Photographer Paul Walsh had a simple idea and executed it without too much hassle. ( and that is very much to his credit - I had a similar idea, wrote to the museum and am still trying to put it together.)

I love “Weekend Warriors”
Posted on Monday, Jun 20th, 2011 in The IPWS Blog by Alan Murphy | 10 Comments
Now that I have your attention let me say that I HATE the term "weekend warrior".
I'm not even sure I know what the term means but I do know a lot of photographers are blaming "weekend warriors" for ruining their business. Without taking a serious look at their own marketing plan and business model they see every other photographer who doesn't think and shoot like them as a "weekend ... Read More »

Had an interesting interview with Cork Radio Station RedFM this morning in connection with their county councils proposal to ban photography in playgrounds. This was always going to be a difficult one to articulate but it is interesting that Cork County Council declined the stations invitation even though the proposal is under public consultation. Anyway despite a rather large curve ball thrown by the presenter got through the ... Read More »
