Yer hawt (though I reserve the right to think you were even more so with the loooooooong hair, *grin*).

Oh, hey, I pointed a budding writer I know at TEH_ZINE. Dunno if she'll go for it or not, but there ya go.

But I have to agree with lothie, it would would have been better when you were in long-hair mode, in my humble opinion.

can I call you a cover-person now? :-)

Re: clearly, yes.

They published your image without getting a release form?

[ornoth]

Oya. Release forms are a bit of an outdated holdover from an earlier age. My understanding of today's legalities is that a photographer is free to take and use your picture "if you are in a public place, acting in a public manner". Release forms are used more as a photographer's tool to cultivate a positive attitude toward photographers than for any real legal reason.

Now, one could probably argue that school isn't a public place, but that's tenuous enough. And in reality the photographer has in no way injured or deprived me of anything, so from a legal standpoint there's very little basis for me to challenge the use, and very little point in doing so anyways.

At least that's my understanding.

I understand all that -- but a classroom which is closed unless you pay for isn't really a public place. (shrug) If it were me, I'd probably send a courteous note to the school suggesting that they should have at least asked, first. Not threatening, just educational. For them.
