MOPLA Fresh Dialogues @ Pier 59 West (4/24)

On April 24th, as part of MOPLA, there's three events held at Pier 59 West which I thought y'all might be interested at.

+11:00 am - 12:30 pm "Everything You Need To Know About Self-Publishing"

A&I presents this panel discussion about self-publishing in today's world. The panelist include :

Rex Weiner, Books Consultant for A&I Books and Editor/Publisher of Great Circle Books: Moderator/”Benchmarks for successful self-publishing”.

Baret Lepejian, co-owner of A&I: “Self-publishing and empowerment”

Julia Dean, Julia Dean Photo Workshops: “Book design and image selection”

Astor Morgan, photographer and APA-LA Chairman: “Self-publishing for self promotion”

Wayne Schoenfeld, photographer: “Book distribution and marketing”

Barry Schwartz, photographer and ASMP-LA President: “The impact of books in the photographic industry”

There'll be time afterwards for Q&As.

+2:00 pm. – 3:15 pm 30 Photographers. 1 minute. 1 image. GO!

Participating Photographers get one minute to talk about one photograph that has had lasting impact.

Cost: $10.00 General Public. $5.00 Lucie Foundation Member and Students with Valid ID.
Proceeds benefit The Lucie Foundation’s program SNAPSHOP! a one-day workshop for underserved Los Angeles High School Students

+ 4:00 - 7:00 pm Copyright : Know It Or Blow It

Knowledge is power. With image theft rampant, it is vitally important that you know the facts regarding copyright protection and how to effectively exercise your rights. Too many times due to lack of information, mis-information or just plain carelessness, a photographer has been left defenseless, unable to take action against infringers. Don’t let this happen to you. Join Moderator Debra Weiss and an esteemed panel that will include IP Attorneys Jessica Darraby and Ed Greenberg, PLUS CEO Jeff Sedlik and Photographer Karen Knauer for what promises to be an informative and entertaining program that will inspire and empower.

Registration: How To Do It And Why
What To Do When Your Image Has Been Infringed
How and When To Choose An Attorney
Appropriation – Is It Ever Justified?
Fair Use: When Is It Really Fair?
The Anti-Copyright Forces – Who and Why?
Putting Copyright To Work For You
And more

This event is free to all. A $5.00 suggested donation to The Lucie Foundation would be appreciated.


And there you have it folks, three events all in one spot from 11 am to 7 pm !
