RangerScum posted:Yeah that's exactly what I'd tell my creepy unhinged stalker who had dozens of pictures of me on his facebook after he started talking crazy about everyone being a psychopath. I should probably qualify they were all group photos at social gatherings, that I was at, and in. So creepy. Anyway, my customer finally decided the advice I gave him three hours ago that poo poo will not work back out is correct so I'm goin to bed. Thanks for the entertainment, thread.

windex posted:Portrait rights are a thing in Japan, and can be pushed against a local resident selling photos internationally, as was recently discovered. There are no limits on portrait rights for fair use or otherwise in law or court history in regards to any identifiable person who could be deemed the subject of the photo. Moriyama is hosed

windex posted:Selling is not prohibited technically. Poor Arraki, he's totally hosed. Not only did he shoot and exhibit night club shots (some of which aren't staged) -- but he also SOLD them. I also had shows here and sold prints with people in them, people who seem to be perfectly happy to be in there, but of course that's just the calm before the storm. They're coming for us ... any ... moment now. A digression; Japan being full of psychopathic people who don't care about you: Ha. Good joke. Here's a heads up: you're the typical lonely angry foreigner white male who's mad at the country because he: a)Doesn't want to speak the language b)Doesn't want to integrate c)Thinks he's a special loving snowflake and should be loved especially by the cute girls -- who will come running through your door any second now... dude ... why are you there? you obviously hate it. (And take bad pictures.)

Just because people speed doesn't mean the speed limit is optional. Like speed limits, this law bites people when they least expect it in ways that occasionally make life very hard for a short time. I personally think the law is bullshit. it's still the law. So one of the things about your posting is that you keep making assumptions about me based on what is presumably your experience of Japan. So let me explain. I love Japan. I have no delusions that I will ever be considered part of it. And that's fine. The contrast between the good and the bad is goddamned awful, though. Most of the photos I take are event photography, in low light, with no flashes, in ways that generally suck and require thousands of shutter movements to get a 10% yield on usable photos. But I take those photos because I work part time with a production company that signs indie bands and feeds up the best of them to the rest of the industry. I got into this by accident because I was trying to solicit photography work for a now ex-girlfriend because it's what she went to school for and she could never find work in it. We broke up. My buddy called me and put me on the spot because he had a last minute cancelation of his other photographer and I showed up with a 70D and kit lenses. And we made it work out, so once and awhile he throws me new work. Before those events, which are typically their first live (maybe not individually, but usually as a group), I get to be part of the process of preparing those kids for that work for 3-4 hours ahead of time as we shoot promos and in some cases album artwork. About 1/4th of these bands cancel their first live and refuse to show. The 3/4 that do show up usually look like a wreck. They are only playing in front of like 50 to 200 people at most. So, the first thing we do is go eat, usually whatever the lead says their favorite type of food is, because again, most of these guys have not eaten the day of. And once the food coma sets in a bit, we start talking about why they got into music, inspirations, what they plan to do if they fail horribly, etc. And, in my never quite good enough Japanese, I manage to take people who are terrified of me, terrified of the camera, terrified of failing, and I get them to produce a few laughs, a few smiles, and start to have a good time, and I get some good outdoor shots. Then we move indoors, either to the venue or the office, everybody usually changes clothes to something more closely resembling whatever they preform in, and we start to talk about what they think the image of the band is. And then we usually discover none of them are in sync on this at all and their fashion choices usually reflect this so we kind of maneuver a happy medium and I get some more photos. Then we take a break for an hour or two so they can prepare for their event and I can go either mentally prepare for the venue or walk the venue if it's open and empty and I've never been there. Right before they're due on stage, I get one more set of headshots (these go on a wall as little 10x10cm photos in the managers office), and the panic has set in a bit more in their eyes, but it should, because beside it is a little bit more confidence than they had. And then they start playing on stage. And most of the time, I am not a fan, but I have very little time to stop thinking about the camera and listen to the music anyway, doubly so if their cheap rear end manager didn't hire a second photographer and I wind up having to shoot the audience reactions and the stage. And, usually, it's amazing. I would say 80% of the time they make it on stage they actually manage to connect with their audience. And then I go to work the next day. And I deal with people who are in technical roles in title only whose entire educational background was in management. They do not aspire to be anything but not at fault. They do not have hope and have grown paranoid and unwilling to take chances. They think only about how they can shift the blame for bad designs due to ineptitude or financial concerns off to their vendors, customers, or anyone but them really. When you give them technically valid answers to real questions, once you get to the real question, if they do not agree with you from the standpoint of someone looking only to cover their own rear end, they start calling everyone from their account team to the CEO. And I'm not even at the bottom of this mess. I'm at the top. And it's very difficult most days to not go gently caress Japan. bobmarleysghost posted:Aside from all the drama, these are pretty bad photos. Completely uninteresting, and not in the good way that photos of nothing can be good. I got a whole page of posts and still not a drat thing to help me figure out what I personally want to take photos of on my own time.

Your posting is real bad. You can put more than one sentence per paragraph. None of what you said has anything to do with the subject. If you're trying to distract us from how wrong you are it's not working. Also, passing the buck isn't unique to Japan at all. In summation, lurk more.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is windex? This is windex speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing-you who dread knowledge -I am the man who will now tell you.” ...
