Rock and Roll at The Brisbane Powerhouse.
|
It's been a massive job going through 15 years of work, but my upcoming exhibition of live music photography "Rock and Roll" at The Brisbane Powerhouse is coming together! I have 99% of the photos chosen, and framing is under way.. I'm posting updates on progress every few days here. You can see dates and more info at The Brisbane Powerhouse site here.
The show will be up from the 2nd of March to the 5th of April 2010, and features 50 of my favorite live music photos. It will be open 7 days a week, and admission is free.
You might even be in it...

This was the view from Red Hill in Brisbane at about 12.30. Usually this spot has great city views, today you couldn't see a single building in the city. So odd.

Heineken Steals © Photos. To use without using…
Myself and a bunch of other photographers had a lot of images stolen by www.heinekenmusic.ie , they basically used our © work without permission for their commercial gain, on a site to promote a huge music festival (which by the way does about AU$3 million in tickets)..
The photos were taken down after being up for about 3 weeks, after complaints were lodged. Heineken now claims that their use of the photos on the site, did not actually involve "any use, in legal terms" Love that mumbo jumbo. They also claim that using our work for 90% of the site's useful life leading up to the festival was "use of a temporary nature only and would not form the basis of any copyright claim" They will how ever "be willing to make a small payment for the inconvenience caused in having to write to us" WTF
The saga continues.
