Re: ? Can Tito use any of the WHS images taken at the WWP ?

Dave,
Excuse me for being blunt but at this point the "WWP" hasn't offered
the use of it's panos to Tito or UNESCO. I believe that, beyond a link
from those sites, it would require permission from every individual
photographer. That is a long process and, personally, I don't allow ANY
site to use my work without a very specific agreement. Until something
is worked out, I can't agree to this.
As far as I understood, the theme of World Heritage sites was for
this shoot only. If we, as a group, want to approach UNESCO and say
that we would like to shoot panos for their website, this could be an
additional project but that might be stepping on Tito's toes a bit. He
started something with his own resources and time that has taken off
quite well and I wouldn't want to to take the spotlight away from him
and all the effort he has put and is putting into his site.
I guess this issue brings up another point which is the 'cooperative'
nature of this event. Someone sent an email today suggesting that this
become a cooperative. I disagree with that. Have been a member, and
still a member of may different types of coops (from food coops to
kibbutzim) I can say that i don't think it would work well for this
project. I personally enjoy the fact that I don't have to put very much
effort into the construction, administration and publicizing of WWP. I
have too much other stuff going on. Once you start requiring work from
people,,,well...you open up a pandora's box of sorts. I have already
volunteered some time for the next shoot and I think the site can
continue to function well at this pace (with many thanks to D L and
K!). Right now WWP has a gestalt effect which, as far as I can tell, is
growing at a fine pace. I suggest not to over-water this garden.
Peace,
Andy
