TWiP #291: Image Use & Abuse

[google1]

Hosts: Frederick Van Johnson, Ron Brinkmann, Sara France, Martin Bailey

Episode Overview

This week on TWiP, we ran into some technical issues with Google Hangouts so it was back to Skype. This week we discuss:

  • A judge rules Twitter images are off limits
  • Apple's nudity police yank the popular 500px app off the app store
  • And Google and Getty stick 5,000 royalty free images in your Google Drive … for free!
  • Plus an interview with sports photographers Matt Cohen and Ryu Voelkel of BigLensFastShutter.com

Ron Brinkmann, Sara France, and Martin Bailey join Frederick Van Johnson to discuss these topics and much more on this week's episode of TWiP.
