Thought(s) for the day
The “everything’s ending and it’s my fault” feeling is a chemical lie, not a personal truth.
Allegedly.
It seems that being prescribed Clotiazepam for anxiety has it's positives and negatives.
File under: Things the hospital didn't tell me.
I've been on this stuff for seven months.
Clotiazepam is a class of drug called “thienodiazepines”. It is chemically similar to benzodiazepine.
Side effect include insomnia, rebound anxiety, dizziness etc etc etc.
I'm trying to taper off them now like I did venlafaxine. DON'T DO THAT DRUG.
Would explain a lot of things to do with my moods because I thought they weren't that effective. Except just stopping them has screwed me up. Go me!
Oh man--I'm listening to #KALW and their #Tangents program and they just played a song of our times: "Innocent Blood" by #LagosThugs --just the kind of music we need right now.

Yeah, but he's a wartime president and you don't ditch a president in the middle of a war.

Agreed! Not the least bit surprised that Pythonisto John Cleese was in it...or the dearly departed Shelley Duvall. ❤
Edited for the purpose of adding Michael Palin so as not to leave out any Pythonisto in that movie. Adding honorable mention to Katherine Helmond, formerly of "Soap", and Emperor Porridge himself, Warwick Davis (that was a Dr. Who reference).
Help me out here. I definitely understand photographers have a challenging job that requires both skill and talent, and deserve to be paid for their work.
However, if I pay someone to take a picture, is it really reasonable for me to have to pay separately for every copy, be denied a digital copy, and be woke-shamed for musing out loud about just scanning a print and being done with it?
The whole thing seems completely outrageous, but massive numbers of people seem to see no problem with it...

I just don't get it. If a picture is worth "x", charge me "x" for the picture, and be done with it. I can certainly guarantee that people are *always* pissed off about it, which is bad for business, and it can't really be making the photographer *that* much money. I mean, how often do people make requests for a picture more than a month or two after they are first delivered? It just seems like bad thinking/bad business.
Besides, we're talking about a commissioned work. Does the guy who first drew Donald Duck retain control of the pictures he made? No, of course not, Disney did.
To be honest, it also concerns me a bit that raw photos of my children are perpetually housed in the "collections" of at least two-dozen photographers whose security procedures most likely range from "what's a virus?" to "Microsoft has that firewall, they say I'm safe"...
Laws are vague at best. Though as a rule of thumb the one that took the picture has rights to it, not the subject of the photograph. Though consult a lawyer, as I am not one, for better legal advice on the topic. The same as a painting. Unless a contract is specifically drawn up to give rights to the contractor. You can be sure that the photos taken by a media platforms photographer belong to the media platform and not the photographer (unless they are freelance and have no specific contract then if they sell them to the media they insist on full rights not copies in most cases). The next time you hire a photographer draw up a contract the clearly states that you own the negative (raw files) and all parts of the photographs taken and that you you are only contracting their services and nothing more and that they have no right to maintain a copy of the images for any purpose. This will cause the photographer to ask for more money for their services though it seems you would be okay with that?
