Just so I don't look like a complete retard for posting a nine year old photo, here is the most recent family portrait we had taken. We managed to work out a deal (small local photo business) so that they sold us the digital originals along with the pictures instead of holding them hostage and throwing them away like most of the big outfits do.
It makes me very happy to have those digital image files.
I'll never have professional portraiture done by someone who is not willing to give me the full rights to the work I have paid for.
Don't get me wrong, I expect to pay a little more, but the way I see it, ALL professional photography falls under work for hire copyright and rightly ought to be owned by the customer. But I guess that ends up being a contractual deal, doesn't it.
Wow! I didn't mean to turn that into a rant. Anyway, The folks in the image are
right to left:
Back- Connor: 14, Zac: 12,
Middle- Me: Old, Amie: Slightly older, Joshua: 9, Eloise: 8,
Front- David: 3, Gabriel: 18 months

Gotta love the surly teenagers in the back. [rolleyes] You two will be so proud when you are old enough for YOUR kids to be looking at this photo.
