| | | Details of Architecture:Photographs of Urban Artifacts by Ellen Fisch
Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, Newburgh, NY USA United States of America The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum presents 'Details of Architecture: Photographs of Urban Artifacts by Ellen Fisch' from Friday, October 3 continuing through Friday, October 31, 2008. Ellen Fisch is an artist in many media and subjects, but she has always had a special passion for the details of architecture created in various materials on building facades. Since studying photography at Brooklyn College, she has dedicated herself to capturing these often-unnoticed details--flowers, gargoyles, arabesques, and interlocking bands--that decorate public and private structures, preserving a visual record of peripheral elements that provide insight into the architectural aesthetics of their period. The motifs that she has preserved with her lens include ornamental details influenced by the art and cultures of Africa, Asia, and Europe as well as the United States, celebrating a craftsmanship that makes, as the artist has noted, �even the most modest establishment a structure of beauty.� Her work both satisfies the eye and records an important part of New York City�s architectural heritage. Ellen Fisch has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2004. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Google pays Library of Congress $3 MILLION for Orphan Works Legislation
Walter King, USA
 1. Web firms quietly win copyright victory in Congress SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) Sept 29 -- As the media turned its attention last weekend to battles on Capitol Hill over the fate of the proposed Wall Street bailout bill, Internet companies including Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp. quietly walked away with a legislative victory that could facilitate their use of copyrighted material. The Senate on Friday passed the Orphan Works Act of 2008, legislation that weakens copyright protection for works whose owners cannot be located. The legislation has now been referred to the House Judiciary Committee. The legislation requires only that a company make a "reasonably diligent" search to locate a copyright owner before using their work in media including the Internet, and limits compensation required for the use of an infringed work.
