FInally, it has come to Chicago. Yesterday I rode to work and then over to Millenium Park for the free Dirty Projectors show, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon after a tedious day at the photo archives. The female vocalists do this amazing rythmic interwoven vocal part that blew me away. I [...]

It used to seem that taking this attitude was clever and unique, but lets all get over our egos and start listening to each other. Okay, sorry, lecture over.

June 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
Working in the photography archive I have been learning about image rights and reproduction. My supervisor is responsible for submitting requests to artists to use their works in various forms and the rights the museum has and those of the artist can get pretty confusing.
