Keeping it Legal
Today I’m spending my morning drawing up legal forms — model and copyright release forms — for some tentatively upcoming shoots. You’d think law school would help with you this kind of thing, but it doesn’t really. All it gives you a false sense of familiarity with some of the verbiage; it doesn’t make you feel any more prepared for the unexpected that you’re trying to preempt.
And some of the models are law students, so I guess I should be extra careful, hah.
Also, this is all excellent practice for Jan 2011. Oh yes, I’ve got a Plan.

“And finally they were here. After years of troubles at the border, on Sept. 27, Dead Prez performed their first Vancouver show to a sold out crowd at Fortune Sound Club. In keeping with their support for indigenous sovereignty in the U.S., Stic.man and M-1 opened their show by acknowledging the unceded Coast Salish territories on which Vancouver lies. Then they moved right into the classic “Radio Freq.” With the crowd roaring back the hook—“Turn off the radio! Turn off that bullshit!”—the duo had established their introduction to the “Revolutionary But Gangsta” ethos for which they are most famous. They then proceeded to go through all their hits, from the infamous “Hell Yeah” to the ballad-like “Mind Sex.” They also threw in a few covers into the mix, including a slick sampling of Drake’s summer hit “Far From Over.””
I got to attend, photograph, and review DP’s first ever Vancouver show! Tonnes of fun. More pictures on Flickr.
