  Beautiful shots, Mr. Wigfall. Makes me think of Weegee and Diane Arbus (with, I think, greater compassion or kindness or something than Arbus).

  do you have to get a release from the subjects to publish the photos?

  Garry Winogrand famously said you should never shoot from the hip – only with the camera to the eye can you get worthwhile compositions. I am inclined to agree. Strongly.

  I don't think so, in my studies of copyright law, the person who took the photo owns the copyright and can publish the photo. If you have wedding photos taken, the rights to the photos belongs to the photographer.

  Any other legal experts care to weigh in?

  Please ask about process...What kind of camera and processing (digital or otherwise) do you use?

  Joe,

  How much "darkroom" work do you put into each image?

  You should talk about the judging of the competition in comparison to the judging Click! exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum.

  Winogrand had his style and I don't fault him for it. But what his devotees never talk about are the shots that Winogrand couldn't get doing it his way. Particularly when doing candid work, where bringing the camera to your eye would influence the scene, it helps to have more than one technique to make your photographs. You can learn how to frame a scene without bringing to camera to your eye. It just takes practice.
