gemmas photo of a sunset Gemma doesn’t seem to have picked up on this one yet, but a while ago Ben and I were talking in MSN, or Yahoo, and he showed me this link, to a woman (she is a Graphic Designer) in the US’s blog, and at the same time this link, to Gemma’s site, and asked me what was the same (the hint is to the right ->) it seems Ferris, doesn’t understand that linking to the copyright owners site is a good idea on the web.

resized Which all in all leads me onto my point about copyright infringement (please note that because a Picture is worth 1000 words, I have included the article that appeared in the Redbridge Guardian in its completeness, as its not online. (please click on for larger)

woodhouse player image As stated in the previous blog post Ruth was involved with the Woodhouse players Little Mermaid. and I took some photos for, including the one on the right, and if your looking at it thinking you have seen it before, well yes, its the one in the news paper clipping. On the Wood hose players page the following is stated "Images by and © Skippy - http://PhilipMcGaw.com"; why is it that the Redbridge Guardian have failed even to state that the image was provided by the wood house players for inclusion in the article, there is space for the copyright, or reference directly below the image. I would not have minded having something like "image provided by Woodhouse players" as I gave the images to the WHP, but as it is the source of the image is unclear.

Which brings us back to Gods Copyright; in the conversation between Ben and me, he asked if because Ferris had stated

I am going to cherish a sunset that God has made previously and that someone else thought was so beautiful that it had to be captured by a photograph

Is this why she did not feel the need to reference Gemma for taking the photo?

Updated title with regards to bens post on Creationist Copyright.

In this article all copyright holders, and sources have been attributed, and items for which I don’t hold copyright have been used for Citation, I believe this is fair use, please tell me (in the comments section) if you disagree.

And there we have it, a condom’ed Camera, Now the question is how to get a Nikon D70 underwater?

I am thinking that mounting it in a 200mm plastic tube with clear end caps, and mounting the infer red wand in condoms,

or dismantal one, put everything in the tube, bar the switch?

I Love this idea, Just not sure how to do it with a Digital Camera, without printing images, so it may be inpractical for quick turn arounds

All began in 1995 in Britanny, france:

On a beach I photographed with a the SX-70 a polaroid showing sand and stones.
Again the resulting picture was photographed with the Polaroid-camera.

The distances in space and time became larger.
The previous polaroid is allways the basis for the next one and so on …

Manda and Dave Perce on there wedding dayOn Saturday we went to Manda and Daves wedding, however the fun started a long time before that, are you sitting comftably? then we will begin,

on wednesday i put my lil [ka](http://skippy.org.uk/mot/) in for two new tyres, and the removal of the wheel locking nuts (they had broken the key), got the ka back, and all was good, on friday brought the ka, and my mum to London, left the ka out side [loupie’s](http://loupie.co.uk) and took mum up to camdon, and then back towards paddington, so she could go home, met Loupie from her school, and went back to hers, packed the ka and left for the long drive to Manchester, the Ka had other ideas, three long London rush hour miles latter, came to a stop, with steam drifting out of my engin, pulled over to find a cold radator (not a good sign) and a hot engin, which was “rattaling” (fule is being ignighted before the sparkplug fires, due to compresion ignition)
so after spending £80 on joining [greenflag](http://www.greenflag.co.uk/) i had my car towed back to loupie’s for “free” (I have 10 miles of free recovery, unlimited times*)
so after franticly phoning Emily who we met at [Manda and daves engagement party](http://skippy.org.uk/engagment/) asking for her to see if she could find a way for us to get north of manchester, we re-packed down to an amount we can carry, and ran for a train, to crash on Hannah’s floor.

As it turns out Emily and Dave ended up draging us up the moterway to Carlisle, (thanks again!)

Got to the wedding on time, Dave looked very hansom, and when manda did turn up (not before wanting to beat the hair dressers shop to a pile of rubble) she looked absalutly stunning! a wonderfull Anglican church service, and off to the breakfeast, at the [Crown Hotel](http://www.crownhotelwetheral.co.uk/), for food, and the reception,

as i am writing this, its now monday morning, and Loupie and I are back at hers, and just about to look at sorting the car out, (another £100 / £150 pounds :S). and Manda and Dave will be on there way to Mauritius for their Hunnymoon.

I have put some photos up [here](http://skippy.org.uk/lazy-index.php?file=2006-10-20%20-%20Manda%20and%20Daves%20Wedding/) but i will sort out the rest when i get back to Swindon, in the mean time,
[Ikle has more photos](http://ickleweb.com/?p=304). as does [Ian (Spinney head)](http://www.spinneyhead.co.uk/2006/10/congratulations-to-dave-and-manda.php)

One of [these](http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/09/highspeed_photography_instruct.html?CMP=OTC-0D6B48984890) is now deffantly on my want list.

Pictures of highspeed events such as popping ballons, breaking glass, and splashing liquids reveal intresting structures not visible to the naked human eye. You can take your own high-speed phtos to capture these ephemeral events.
