Imaging and Photographic Technology School of Photographic Arts and Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology This is a partial record of some of the requests people have sent me regarding the use of my photographs for various purposes. Chronology of a photo request ... ==================== begin ============================ From: oliviaspeach@yahoo.com Subject: Your Photos Date: October 5, 2008 3:20:12 PM GMT-04:00 My name is Olivia Williams, I am a painter from ATL, who lives in Brooklyn. I have been working on some new paintings, and had this idea of exploding oranges and the cosmos, and found your exploding fruit, and would like to integrate some ideas from the exploding fruit into my work. I have attached some files so you can see the kind of work I do. I would of course site your photos as inspiration. My work will ultimately not look like your photos, but when I see photos I like, I always tell the other artist, photographer as a courtesy. And also because I simply fell in love with all your work. I usually just use my own ref photos, or friends on webshots and flickr, but your work really expressed the look I am going for with this set of small paintings. You should also check out my website: www.Oliviapeach.com it will show you more examples of why I use references for my work, and how I use them into. I hope this ok for you, I know all your work is copywritten, and I would not steal your original ideas. As an artist myself I have all my work copywritten as well, but am always flattered when my work inspires. The paintings will actually be in a show in NYC, and the work is a metaphor for what is going on in the political and economical state of our nation. It's for a large group exhibition of 12"x12" inch paintings. And I am very excited about it. Ok, I hope you will check out what I have attached and my site. Olivia Williams ======================= step 2 ============================ From: andpph@rit.edu Subject: Re: Your Photos Date: October 5, 2008 4:23:21 PM GMT-04:00 To: oliviaspeach@yahoo.com Olivia, No problem. Keep me informed as to how the group exhibition develops! Will be interested to see where my photos take you as you refer to them as a jumping-off point. Your paintings were quite ... well, not quite something I would hang at home but as paintings I have seen yours are very good! take care and thanks for asking, Andrew Davidhazy, Professor Imaging and Photographic Technology School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT =================== end ============================= From: williams@oliviaspeach.com Subject: Exploding Orange: thank you Date: April 9, 2009 2:04:57 AM GMT-04:00 Hi Andrew, It's been many months since we wrote, but I wanted to say thank you for letting me use your photo as a point of reference. The paintings showed at the Art Gotham Gallery back in October, and were well received, and sold. Which I wasn't expecting, but it was nice, and helped me pay my rent. I made a mention of you in the notes next to the thumbnails of the triptic, and a thank you to you on my site, alongside the images I added links to your site, and Upstate New York article. I hope you will check out the work. Here is a direct link, but the work is in the "Current Work" folder on the main page. http://oliviapeach.com/section/95649.html Sincerely, Olivia Carol Williams On 03-02-09 Cindy H. requested a high-res photo of sneeze Dear Professor Davidhazy, Please find attached a letter requesting permission to reprint your photo showing the particle mist created by a sneezing person. We need an image file at 300 dpi. Sincerely, Cindy Halifax, NS B3N 1S9 On 2-Mar-09, at 2:02 PM, ADavidhazy wrote: Dear Ms. H, The short answer to your request is that I am willing to help. However, I would like to know if XXX Corporation provides any kind of fee for the use of illustrations in their books. Also, 300 dpi is not enough information as the image can be 1 cm x 1.5 cm at 300 dpi or 10 cm x 15 cm at 300 dpi - the image file sizes are very different. Please clarify. regards, Andrew Davidhazy, Professor Imaging and Photographic Technology, School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT On 03-03-09 Cindy H. wrote: Dear Professor Davidhazy, Thank you for your response. I would be happy to offer you a token fee of $150. I hope that this is acceptable to you. The image would be used at about 5 by 7 at the largest so if you have a file of that size, that would be great. Thank you, Cindy Halifax, NS B3N 1S9 On 5-Mar-09, at 1:42 PM, ADavidhazy wrote: Cindy, That is more than a token fee for me and it will be gratefully accepted! I will send you the image file for a 5 x 7 at 300 dpi when I get to my office in a little while. cheers, andy On 03-05-09 ADavidhazy wrote: SNEEZE photo file by Davidhazy attached Cynthia, I am attaching a file of the sneeze image that should be appropriate for your requirements.

I am a clay target shooter, sporting clays, primarily, and am building what could be called a man cave in my house. I intend to create a poster sized print approximately 30-36 inches across, so the highest resolution of reasonable file size would be appreciated. I would be happy to remunerate you for your troubles. I will also ensure photo credit is placed on my poster. If email file sizes are not possible, I will be happy to send you a USB drive in a postage paid return envelope. Much thanks for your response to this request and for your commitment to the world of high speed photography. Warmest regards, --Ken Arthur-- Middleburg, VA [cid:image001.png@01C98961.70ADA130 To: Ken Arthur Date: 08 Feb 2009 01:56:05.0329 (UTC) Dear Ken Arthur, I am attaching a pretty large image file that should meet your needs. As the print size (and file size) is so large it probably will not be scrutinized with a magnifying glass so the resolution of this image should be sufficient for your purpose. Regards, Andrew Davidhazy, Professor, Imaging and Photographic Technology, School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT, 70 Lomb memorial Drive, Rochester, NY 14623, em: andpph@rit.edu, web: people.rit.edu/andpph A few minutes later the above exchange ended as follows: Ken Arthur wrote: Wow - thanks so much. May I remunerate you in any way... say dinner at Burger King as you have aptly put in your web site?? and the reply from me was: Ken, Dinner at Burger King would be great! andy Date: 07 Feb 2009 14:46:17.0424 (UTC) From: TM, Sir, I would like to use the picture linked below on the Wikipedia article for shotguns, please let me know if this use is approved. http://people.rit.edu/andpph/photofile-c/shotgun-shot-seq-1g.jpg Thank you, TM To which on 07 Feb 2009 15:15:55.0252 (UTC) went the following reply: T, sure ... no problem. Regards, Andrew Davidhazy, Professor Date: January 21, 2009 - 8:30 pm To: Davey Hubay Remuneration is not necessary. OTOH, if a small fee can be easily arranged ... something like taking my wife out to Burger King ... and we are "seniors" so we get a discount! ... that would be fine. But don't go to any trouble. I am glad to help out ... maybe this will make up for me feeling guilty about not reading more myself! cheers, andy Date: January 21, 2009 - 6:11 pm From: Davey Hubay The conference/symposium is called Politics and the Novel, sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Novel. The poster concept preferred by the director came out of a Stendhal quotation---here it is in the small mock-up, which they loved. My photographic skills and equipment do not include high speed imagery, but I am really enjoying yours. The posters are offset printed in soy-based ink on recycled paper by an excellent green printer here in San Francisco. The posters are 11 by 17 inches, so a 9 by 12 file at 300 dpi would be fine. If you would like financial compensation, that can be arranged. In any case, I would give you copies of the poster. It's a great project for me: I hope you are interested in lending your talents! till soon, Davey Date: January 21, 2009 To: Davey Hubay What kind of symposium is it? What do you mean layering with your photograph? What image dimensions needed for the poster? andy Date: January 21, 2009 - 5:37 pm From: Davey Hubay I appreciate your taking the time for this. Many thanks, Davey Hubay Date: 07-08-08

I have to say the pictures are great! My purpose for writing you is to ask if I could use one of your photos for a CD cover. I play in a local band here in Spokane and we are making a little demo CD. We would be excited to use one of your photos on the cover. (see attached) We would love your permission to use this photo. Please let me knoweither way, and thank you for your time. Sincerely,Matt Beumer Dear Andrew, I hope I can still find you at this email address. It has been a long, long time! But I am writing to let you know that I finally am getting the book published, in FULL COLOR, and I am very excited about it. My initial small independent publisher bailed for personal reasons, but I now have a very good high end publisher, and it will be in book stores internationally, and Amazon of course, some time this fall. I do not have the release forms yet, but I will have 'official' release forms to send to folks and friends whose work will appear in the book. I appreciate your photos more than can say! all the best Joseph On Dec 2, 2004, at 5:26 AM, ADavidhazy wrote: Dear Joseph, Joseph Gilland 455 West Keith Road North Vancouver, BC, V7M 1M2 (604) 506-5480 joegilland@shaw.ca www.joegilland.com www.linkedin.com/in/joegilland Date: 6/3/08 Dear Andy, I am coming back to you because of your nice rain drop photography. We are happy that our manuscript has been accepted for publication in Science. Very probably our proposed picture will not become the cover picture however. Nevertheless, we would like to provide the picture including the rain drop photography as illustrating material, see below. If you agreed on that, we would be glad to get an official copyright statement from you. Please let us know how we can reference to your work. Please find attached the copyright request from Science.

You have my permission. If you can include credit line/link that would be nice - just so that others know it should not be "appropriated" !! Andrew Davidhazy, Professor Imaging and Photographic Technology School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT 70 Lomb memorial Drive Rochester, NY 14623 em: andpph@rit.edu web: people.rit.edu/andpph Thank you! We will definitely include a "permission line". Do you have any preferences for the wording? Or will Photo by Andrew Davidhazy, Professor, Imaging and Photographic Technology, School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT be ok? Cheryl Date: 6/16/08 Hi Andy, I'm attaching a copy of a permission form that I will need you to fill out, to give the American Mathematical Society permission to reproduce your stroboscopic coin-toss picture. You can either sign it and fax it back to me (831-477-0859), or send it by snail mail to the address on the form, or "sign" it electronically by typing your name on the signature line, and email it back to me. Note that the form has a space for you to indicate what credit line you would like. As I think I mentioned to you, I asked my editor about the possibility of the AMS paying you a $50 fee to reproduce your picture, and he seemed agreeable to that idea. But I am not exactly sure how the mechanics of sending you the payment will work. So it is probably best for you to discuss that directly with my editor, Ed Dunne, whose e-mail address is egd@ams.org. Perhaps you have already been in contact with him before. Thanks again for your help! Dana Mackenzie Date: 6/18/08 Andy, The ComPADRE project (that's what Physics to Go is part of) is preparing a display for an annual meeting on Capitol Hill of NSF-funded projects. We would like to use your image of the supersonic bullet shadowgraph at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/photofile-b/shadowgraph-bullet-1.jpg as a faint background for part of this display. Is that okay? We'll give you a credit line. Thanks, Ed Ed Lee American Physical Society Ed, No problem. Let me know if you need a larger image file. Best, andy .. and if they'd be interested in a small display of "technical, scientific" and high speed photographs I could put something together. I have a little "traveling exhibit" of such stuff - no charge. Date: 6/18/08 Hello Andrew, My name is Madeline Kemper. I am a product development assistant at Lakeshore Learning Materials in Carson, Ca. We manufacture and distribute children's learning materials. We sell our products to schools and school districts all over the United States. I would like your permission to use the below photo of yours in a vocabulary card library with illustrations and photos. We could supply a photo credit near the photo. Thank you. Madeline Kemper Lakeshore Learning Materials Research & Development 2695 E. Dominguez St. Carson, Ca 90895 310-537-8600 x2083 Dear Madeline, In principle I would like to help. Is there a chance of even a small fee possible? Something as little as would allow me to take my wife out to dinner to a restaurant a step up above Burger King? I guess if it your policy not to provide content creators with any fee that is OK and I will live with it but since you did not mention it (and your company is deriving a profit from sales) I thought I would ask. A credit line is nice but all I ask is that if others are receiving a fee that I be treated the same. Let me know how we proceed. Regards, Andrew Davidhazy, Professor Imaging and Photographic Technology School of Photo Arts and Sciences/RIT 70 Lomb memorial Drive Rochester, NY 14623 em: andpph@rit.edu web: people.rit.edu/andpph Hello Andy, I am very sorry but it is not Lakeshore's policy to provide compensation for photos. We greatly appreciate your cooperation. Thank you, Madeline Madeline, Any chance I could get a copy of the page or something where my splash photo and credit line will be included? This would be useful to me as I could bring to the attention of my Dean that I have contributed my work pro-bono "for the greater good"" so to speak.
