John Morrison - you okay?
Marianne replied to geogphotos's question in Community support: ask the forum
So sorry to hear. Wish I'd known sooner so I could have reached out when he was still able to know what was going on. I'm glad to hear that he is at peace but so sad that he won't be here on earth much longer. Will miss him. -

(yes, agency benefits most, but...) oddly, I've ne'er licensed a stock photo before... if others want to do same, shall we multi-license same photo or each pick our own...? all do it on same day...? -

Just hopped over to his blog. The best I can tell, he had a stroke sometime around Christmas. Then a mention of a tumour (tumor), and hints of having a terminal diagnosis with 3 months left of decent activity which has been used up. Many mentions later about using a motorized getaround (wheelchair? Cart?) of some sort that he seemed to like. I believe now he can no longer speak with visitors but knows they are there. His family & friends have rallied around him these past months. I'm so sorry it has come to this but warms my heart that he means something special to his friends & family. -

Very sad to hear this. I always enjoyed John's razor sharp sense of humour. Take care John. -

Saddened to hear this news, but I'm happy to know that John is at peace. I'll enjoy exploring his blog, which I wasn't aware of, as I've always sensed a kindred spirit. -
BILD infringements?

Thanks for that clarification. That makes more sense. :-) -

Sadly not. Have a look at his blog 'Broken Cloud' - a couple of months ago he said he was terminally ill. He's in a care home now. -
We have had our moments but hope that you are okay. Haven't seen your name around here and it used to be all the time. Best wishes

One of two Standard licences (PU?) just reported of Romesh from Sunday's London Marathon. His proud mum perhaps? -
BILD infringements?
Klinger replied to Jansos's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Since this started and I don't see anyone else has answered, but there are plenty of other comments and conjecture about other issues and questions. This fee is for the defense against the claim, not to pay a claim, not a lost case, not a determination by the courts. Alamy and all the artists involved have not been convicted of anything. The removal of all images with the metadata "Bild" is, I presume, to prevent further claims and would be done, no matter what the image or contents or marking as commercial or Editorial. Everything related that has been removed, as a precaution. -

BILD infringements?
John Mitchell replied to Jansos's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
The world has gotten more complicated, but I can't help feeling that there's more to all this than meets the eye (so to speak). It might not be just about perceived infringement. However, chances are we'll never know the whole story. -

It does seem bizarre that a newspaper publisher wants to restrict the rights around publishing photography. -

Marianne replied to gvallee's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
I'm learning Spanish with Duo Lingo and on Fridays I'm in a 1 1/2 hour Zoom Spanish Conversation group. One woman in the group is a native Spanish speaker (from Puerto Rico). She will correct us if we use Google Translate to try to say something we are unsure of on our own. Even with my rudimentary Spanish, I can sometimes spot the Google translate goofs. Duo Lingo will sometimes explain the different idioms used in different Spanish speaking countries. It's tricky. Sometimes when I watch a British show with my husband I find myself "translating" for him even though we Americans and Brits supposedly speak the same language. I bet whatever it would cost to hire British and American and Australians who are fluent in French go through and correct the AI translations would be made up for in sales. It makes me realize why the time-consuming specialized vocabulary used by a certain competitor with macro and microstock offerings makes sense since specifying what is meant by, e.g. "tip" would mean that it is translated properly. Seeing pages of rubbish "tips" when you want to get photos of a pen tip would be annoying. Presumably you'd search for "nib" or if you want someone leaving a tip, "money on a table" which is why it's important for us to use a variety of keywords when we upload images. But having those keywords translated into words that make no sense and having a ton of misspelled or nonsense words is very disappointing to hear. I don't think I've ever had a sale to France but I've had sales to Germany and I'm guessing that having an office there is why those translations are correct. I also have sales to the UK and over the years have done my best to use British as well as American English in my keywords. I still forget things though or learn new ways of saying things from this forum. -

WHAT CAMERA IS EVERYONE USING?
Marianne replied to Resolute Inc's question in Community support: ask the forum
The only Sony zoom lens that I have is the G 24-105mm f/4 and it is nice and sharp. Until I got it a bit over a year ago, I was only using primes, many non-Sonys manually, the Nikons and Zuiko (Olympus) with an adapter. The 24-105 is a great focal length for travel, though it does make for a heavier mirrorless setup. It's a full frame lens so it gives me a pretty wide through portrait/medium telephoto setup - and with my files being so large, even a pseudo telephoto if I want to crop into a photo. I got a B+W closeup lens to put on the end of it to make for a pseudo macro lens too as I'm unlikely to take my 90mm macro lens traveling and again, since macro isn't usually a big need when traveling, being able to get a little closer is enough. I mistyped above - it's the G, not the G Master which is f/2.8 and costs about $700 more. I paid $1,170 for it which was plenty. I won a grant in 2022 and was required to spend all the money that year, so that covered the cost of the lens as well as an Eizo monitor and some other equipment. Otherwise it would probably have taken a couple of years to earn back the cost. But of all my tech purchases that year, it's the one I've gotten the most out of.
