PSA for anyone who still needs it, 3 decades into the age of the internet:
U.S. copyright law states that whoever makes a photo owns the copyright to it for the length of their life plus 70 years. If you don’t own the copyright, you can’t publish that photo unless you:
-get permission from the copyright holder
-get a licensing agreement from the copyright holder
-buy the copyright from the owner

There are some exceptions (Fair Use, Work for Hire, Public Domain), but unless you made the photo, you don’t automatically have the legal right to use it unless you have formal permission.

Additionally, whether or not a photo is credited has NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER YOU CAN USE IT! Taking someone else’s photo is stealing, whether or not the caption explicitly tells you not to steal it!

If you are working in any field where you are posting and publishing content online, this is basic industry knowledge. If you can’t or refuse to understand it, you should explore other careers.

New website for ! I’ve been lucky to do a bunch of work for them over the last couple of years. Mostly photography, a little bit of social media, and then this. It was a great winter exercise to think of the farm as a whole, pull from their library of my photos, and define the business as it exists today. If you’re local, check out the exciting news about their coming farm stand on 137, and the spring flower share that starts in just about a month!
I feel so lucky to live and work in the neighborhood of so many great farms like New Beat. When I found vegetable farming I was sure that’s all I wanted to do, but playing a supporting role for farms like this, and showing the public how much I think we should care about them, has turned out to be an equally fulfilling use of my time and energy.

Neal and the cows in the silvopasture , for Maine Farmland Trust. Story goes that when Neal proposed to Allison he promised her they’d get the thing she wanted most: cows. I think it’s clear that was just as much a promise to himself!

Kelly Orchards is a true appler’s apple orchard. Total quiet, all the varieties, so much knowledge, and precise management. No agritainment, no hustle bustle, and nothing for sale besides the fruit itself. Just a whole lot of peace in the trees. I was really lucky to spend a hot morning there for , following around Art Kelly and his crew, most of whom have been there as long as he has.
