Apparently Getty Images owns the view of Seattle from Gasworks Park…
Posted by: Jason Burns In: Photography
So last night, I decided to go take some photos to give Aperture a real workout in RAW image processing. I love the view of Seattle from Gasworks Park and thought that if I hurried, I could catch it at sunset. I drove like hell and unfortunately just missed the sun.
I decided to take a few photos anyway, and when I got to the retaining wall that separates the little lookout area from the water, I saw this stenciled on the retaining wall.
So does Getty Images have the right to copyright anything now? Can they say what we can and can’t take photos of? Should I expect to see one of these tattooed on my favorite NBA player soon?
I don’t know if this is a joke, a spoof or what…if it’s serious, color me concerned.
