Photographing

A
photographer (from Greek
????? (photos), meaning "light", and
????? (graphos), meaning "written") is
a person who takes photographs.
A professional photographer uses photography
to earn money; amateur
photographers take photographs for pleasure
and to record an event, emotion, place, or person.
A
professional photographer may be an employee,
for example of a newspaper, or may contract
to cover a particular event such as a wedding
or graduation, or to illustrate an advertisement.
Others, including paparazzi
and fine
art photographers, are freelancers,
first making a picture and then offering it
for sale or display. Some workers, such as policemen,
estate
agents, journalists and scientists, make
photographs as part of other work. Photographers
who produce moving rather than still pictures
are often called cinematographers,
videographers
or camera
operators, depending on the commercial context.
Photographers
are also categorized based on the subjects they
photograph. Some photographers explore subjects
typical of paintings such as landscape,
still
life, and portraiture.
Other photographers specialize in subjects unique
to photography, including street
photography, documentary
photography, fashion
photography, wedding
photography, war
photography, photojournalism,
aviation
photography and commercial photography.
Selling
photographs
The
exclusive
right of photographers to copy and use their
products is protected by copyright.
Countless industries purchase photographs for
use in publications and on products. The photographs
seen on magazine covers, in television advertising,
on greeting
cards or calendars, on websites, or on products
and packages, have generally been purchased
for this use, either directly from the photographer
or through an agency that represents the photographer.
A photographer uses a contract to sell the "license"
or use of his or her photograph with exact controls
regarding how often the photograph will be used,
in what territory it will be used (for example
U.S. or U.K. or other), and exactly for which
products. This is usually referred to as usage
fee and is used to distinguish from production
fees (payment for the actual creation of a photograph
or photographs). An additional contract and
royalty would apply for each additional use
of the photograph.
The
time duration of the contract may be for one
year or other duration. The photographer usually
charges a royalty as well as a one-time fee,
depending on the terms of the contract. The
contract may be for non-exclusive use
of the photograph (meaning the photographer
can sell the same photograph for more than one
use during the same year) or for exclusive
use of the photograph (i.e. only that company
may use the photograph during the term). The
contract can also stipulate that the photographer
is entitled to audit the company for determination
of royalty payments. Royalties vary depending
on the industry buying the photograph and the
use, for example, royalties for a photograph
used on a poster or in television advertising
may be higher than the royalty for use on a
limited run of brochures. A royalty is also
often based on the size the photo will be used
in a magazine or book and cover photos usually
command higher fees than photos used elsewhere
in a book or magazine.
Photos
taken by a photographer while working on assignment
often belong to the company or publication unless
stipulated otherwise by contract. Professional
portrait and wedding photographers often stipulate
by contract that they retain the copyright on
wedding photos or portrait photos, so that only
they can sell further prints of the photographs
to the consumer, rather than the customer reproducing
the photos by other means. If the customer wishes
to be able to reproduce the photos themselves,
they may discuss an alternative contract with
the photographer in advance before the pictures
are taken, in which a larger up front fee may
be paid in exchange for reprint rights passing
to the customer.
There
are major companies who have maintained catalogues
of stock
photography and images for decades, such
as Getty
Images and others. Since the turn of the
21st century many online stock photography catalogues
have appeared that invite photographers to sell
their photos online easily and quickly, but
often for very little money, without a royalty,
and without control over the use of the photo,
the market it will be used in, the products
it will be used on, time duration, etc.
Photo
sharing
Main
article: Photo
sharing
Many
people upload their photographs to social
networking websites and other websites,
in order to share them with a particular group
or with the general public. Those interested
in legal precision may explicitly release them
to the public
domain or under a free
content license. Some sites, including Wikimedia
Commons, are punctilious about licenses
and only accept pictures with clear information
about permitted use.
San
Clemente is a city in Orange County, California,
United States. As of 2005, the city population
was 65,338. Located six miles south of
San Juan Capistrano at the southern tip
of the county, it is roughly equidistant
from San Diego and Los Angeles. The north
entrance to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
(known as the "Christianitos Gate") is
located in San Clemente.
HISTORY
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the
area was inhabited by what came to be
known as the Juaneņo Indians. After the
founding of Mission San Juan Capistrano,
the local natives were conscripted to
work for the mission. The city of San
Clemente was founded in 1925 by PHOTOGRAPHER
developer (and former mayor of Seattle)
Ole Hanson who named it San Clemente after
a town in Spain. As it were, San Clemente
Island was named after the city later
since it is directly west of the coast.
Hanson envisioned it as a Spanish-style
coastal resort town, a "Spanish Village
by the Sea." In an unprecedented move,
he had a clause added to the deeds requiring
all building plans to be submitted to
an architectural review board in an effort
to ensure that future development would
retain some Spanish-style influence (for
example, for many years it was required
that all new buildings in the downtown
area have red tile roofs). It was incorporated
in 1928 with a council-manager government.
Nixon's "Western White House" In 1968
President Richard Nixon bought the H.
H. Cotton estate, one of the original
homes built by one of Hanson's partners.
Nixon called it "La Casa Pacifica," but
it was nicknamed the "Western White House",
a term now commonly used for a President's
vacation home. It sits above one of the
West Coast's premier surfing spots, Trestles,
and just north of historic surfing beach
San Onofre. During Nixon's tenure it was
visited by many world leaders , including
Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev, Mexican
President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, Japanese
Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, and Henry
Kissinger, as well as businessman Bebe
Rebozo. Following his resignation, Nixon
retired to San Clemente to write his memoirs.
He later sold the home and moved to Park
Ridge, New Jersey. The property also has
historical tie to the democratic side
of the aisle; prior to Nixon's tenure
at the estate, H.H. Cotton was known to
host Franklin D. Roosevelt, who would
visit to play cards in a small outbuilding
overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Surfing legacy San Clemente catches swells
all year long. Going from South to North,
they include Trestles (technically just
south of the city line), North Gate, State
Park, Riviera, Lasuen, The Hole, Beach
House, T-Street, The Pier, 204, North
Beach, and Poche. San Clemente is also
the surfing media capital of the world
as well as a premier surfing destination.
It is home to Surfing Magazine, The Surfer's
Journal, and Longboard Magazine, with
Surfer Magazine just up the freeway in
San Juan Capistrano. The city has a large
concentration of surfboard shapers and
manufacturers. Additionally, many world
renowned surfers were raised in San Clemente
or took up long-term residence in town,
including Hobie Alter, Jr., Shane Beschen,
Gavin Beschen, Matt Archbold, Christian
Fletcher, Mike Parsons (originally from
Laguna Beach), Colin McPhillips, Rocky
Sabo, Colleen Mehlberg, Greg Long, Dino
Andino, Chris Ward, and many, many others.
San Clemente High School has won 6 out
of 7 most recent NSSA national surfing
titles.
Education
The city is served by Capistrano Unified School
District. Within the city, there are 5 elementary
schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school.
Elementary Schools: Concordia Elementary, Truman
Benedict, Vista Del Mar, Las Palmas, and Lobo
Elementary. Middle Schools: Bernice Ayer, Shorecliffs,
and Vista Del Mar. High Schools: San Clemente
High San Clemente High School is the only high
school in San Clemente. Ranked in the top 1.3%
of schools nationwide, San Clemente also has an
IB (International Baccalaureate) Program, a vast
number of AP Courses. The music program also boasts
a nationally recognized Vocal Arts Program with
award-winning Madrigals, Women's Ensemble, and
A Cappella choirs. San Clemente's IB students
rank in the top 3% of the World for their IB scores
and the program has expanded vastly in the past
few years under the direction of Patrick Harris
and Kathleen Sigafoos, the IB Coordinators of
the School.

Marine
Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the major West Coast
base of the United States Marine Corps and serves
as its prime amphibious training base. It is located
in Southern California between the cities of Oceanside
and San Clemente. The base was established in
1942 to train U.S. Marines for service in World
War II. It is named after Marine General Joseph
Henry Pendleton, who long advocated setting up
a West Coast training base for the Marine Corps.
Today it is the home to a myriad of Fleet Marine
Force units including the 1st Marine Expeditionary
Force and various training commands.
The
base's diverse geography, spanning over 125,000
acres (506 kmē), plays host to year round training
for Marines in addition to all other branches
of the U.S. military. Amphibious and sea-to-shore
training takes place at several key points along
the base's 17 miles (27 km) of coastline. The
main base is in the Mainside Complex, at the southeastern
end of the base, and the remote northern interior
is an impact area. Daytime population is around
100,000. Recruits from nearby Marine Corps Recruit
Depot, San Diego spend a month on Pendleton's
Edson Range receiving field training, and after
graduating from boot camp return to the base's
School of Infantry for further training. Camp
Pendleton remains the last major undeveloped portion
of the Southern California coastline, save for
a few small state parks. In this way, it acts
as a kind of buffer between Orange County, which
is generally considered part of the Greater Los
Angeles Area, and San Diego County, which generally
is not.
Camp Pendleton is located in Oceanside which is
the third largest city in San Diego County, California.
The city has a population of 173,303. Together
with Vista and Carlsbad, it makes up the Tri-City
area. The city is just south of U.S. Marine Corps
Base Camp Pendleton, the busiest military base
in the United States. Oceanside has grown massively
from the 1970 census report of 45,000 people.
Much of the city area was developed into single-family
home tracts when PHOTOGRAPHER booms took place
in the 1970s and 1980s. Since 1990, more commercial
and industrial development diversified Oceanside's
economic base, with another population boom ever
since. According to the US census, Oceanside's
continual growth will put the city population
estimates above the 200,000 mark in 2010 or exceed
250,000 by the year
ABOUT
ALISO VIEJO CALIFORNIA |
Aliso Viejo is a city in Orange County, California,
United States. As of the 2000 census, Aliso Viejo
population was 40,166. Aliso Viejo became Orange
County's 34th city on July 1, 2001, and has been
the only city in Orange County to incorporate
since 2000. It borders the cities of Laguna Beach,
Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, and Laguna Woods.
Aliso Viejo was originally part of the 22,000
acre Moulton Ranch. The Moulton family took title
in the 1890's to land originally granted to Juan
Avila by the Mexican government in 1842. In 1976,
Mission Viejo Company purchased the last 6,600
acres for a new planned community that is now
part of the City of Aliso Viejo. The first residential
units were offered in March of 1982 and the first
residents arrived in November of the same year.
(previous information from The City of Aliso Viejo)
Aliso Viejo became Orange County 's 34th city
on July 1, 2001. The first planned community in
Orange County, it was targeted to middle and upper-middle
income homebuyers. Aliso Viejo had only 7,600
residents in 1990. Developers were building homes,
condos and apartments so fast that there were
waiting lists and lotteries held for singles and
couples anxious to be a part of the community.
By 2000, the population expanded by 32,000 residents,
making it the top city in population growth in
Orange County. The zipcodes of Aliso Viejo are:

Irvine
borders Tustin and is an incorporated city
in Orange County, California, United States.
It is a planned city, mainly developed by
the Irvine Company since the 1960s. Formally
incorporated on December 28, 1971, the 69.7
square mile (180.5 kmē) city has a population
of 202,079 (as of 2007). It has annexed
in the past an undeveloped area to the north,
and has also annexed the former El Toro
Marine Corps Air Station, most of which
is to be made into a park called the Orange
County Great Park. Currently, Irvine is
larger in land area than any other city
in Orange County because of its annexation
of the southern and eastern unincorporated
areas. In June 2007, it was named The Safest
City in the United States (Irvine has held
the title since 2005)
Irvine
is home to the University of California,
Irvine (UCI), the Orange County Center of
University of Southern California, and the
Irvine Campus of Alliant International University,
Concordia University, California State University
Fullerton, Pepperdine University and Irvine

HISTORY
OF IRVINE
Evidence of early campsites
and rock shelters in the undeveloped parts of
the city puts prehistoric man in the Irvine area
at least 12,000 years ago. Irvine was inhabited
by the Gabrielino Indians about 2,000 years ago.
Gaspar de Portola, a Spanish explorer, came to
the area in 1769. This brought on the establishment
of forts, missions and herds of cattle. The King
of Spain parceled out land for missions and private
use. After Mexico's independence from Spain in
1821, the Mexican government secularized the missions
and assumed control of the lands. It began distributing
the land to Mexican citizens who applied for grants.
Three large Spanish/Mexican grants made up the
land that later became the Irvine Ranch: Rancho
Santiago de Santa Ana, Rancho San Joaquin and
Rancho Lomas de Santiago. In 1864, Jose Sepulveda,
owner of Rancho San Joaquin sold 50,000 acres
(200 kmē) to Benjamin and Thomas Flint, Llewellyn
Bixby and James Irvine for $18,000 to resolve
debts due to the Great Drought. In 1866, Irvine,
Flint and Bixby acquired 47,000-acre (190 kmē)
Rancho Lomas de Santiago for $7,000. After the
Mexican-American war the land of Rancho Santiago
de Santa Ana fell prey to tangled titles. In 1868,
the ranch was divided among four claimants as
part of a lawsuit: Flint, Bixby and Irvine. The
ranches were devoted to sheep grazing. However,
in 1870, tenant farming was permitted.
In 1878, James Irvine acquired his partners' interests
for $150,000. His 110,000 acres (450 kmē) stretched
23 miles (37 km) from the Pacific Ocean to the
Santa Ana River. James Irvine died in 1886. The
ranch was inherited by his son, James Irvine,
Jr. who incorporated it into The Irvine Company.
James, Jr. shifted the ranch operations to field
crops, olive and citrus crops. In 1888, the Santa
Fe Railroad extended its line to Fallbrook Junction
(north of San Diego) and named a station along
the way after James Irvine. The town that formed
around this station was named Myford, after Irvine's
son, because a post office in Calaveras County
already bore the family name. The town was later
renamed Irvine, however, in 1914.[1] By 1918,
60,000 acres (240 kmē) of lima beans were grown
on the Irvine Ranch. Two Marine Corps facilities
were built on the ranch during World War II and
sold to the government. James Irvine, Jr. died
in 1947 at the age of 80. His son, Myford, assumed
the presidency of The Irvine Company. He began
opening small sections of the Irvine Ranch to
urban development. Myford died in 1959. The same
year, the University of California asked The Irvine
Company for 1,000 acres (4 kmē) for a new university
campus. The Irvine Company gave away the requested
land and the State purchased an additional 500
acres (2 kmē).William
Pereira, the University's consulting architect,
and The Irvine Company planners drew up master
plans for a city of 50,000 people surrounding
the new university. The area would include industrial,
residential and recreational areas, commercial
centers and greenbelts. The new community was
to be named Irvine; the old agricultural town
of Irvine, where the railroad station and post
office were located, was renamed East Irvine.
The villages of Turtle Rock, University Park,
Culverdale, the Ranch and Walnut were completed
by 1970. On December 28, 1971, the residents of
these communities voted to incorporate a substantially
larger city than the one envisioned by the Pereira
plan. By January 1999, Irvine had a population
of 134,000 and a total area of 43 square miles
(111 kmē).
Orange County is a county in Southern California,
United States. Its county seat is Santa Ana. According
to the 2000 Census, its population was 2,846,289,
making it the second most populous county in the
state of California, and the fifth most populous
in the United States. The state of California
estimates its population as of 2007 to be 3,098,121
people, dropping its rank to third, behind San
Diego County. Thirty-four incorporated cities
are located in Orange County; the newest is Aliso
Viejo.
Unlike many other large centers of population
in the United States, Orange County uses its county
name as its source of identification whereas other
places in the country are identified by the large
city that is closest to them. This is because
there is no defined center to Orange County like
there is in other areas which have one distinct
large city. Five Orange County cities have populations
exceeding 170,000 while no cities in the county
have populations surpassing 360,000. Seven of
these cities are among the 200 largest cities
in the United States.
Orange County is also famous as a tourist destination,
as the county is home to such attractions as Disneyland
and Knott's Berry Farm, as well as sandy beaches
for swimming and surfing, yacht harbors for sailing
and pleasure boating, and extensive area devoted
to parks and open space for golf, tennis, hiking,
kayaking, cycling, skateboarding, and other outdoor
recreation. It is at the center of Southern California's
Tech Coast, with Irvine being the primary business
hub.
The average price of a home in Orange County is
$541,000. Orange County is the home of a vast
number of major industries and service organizations.
As an integral part of the second largest market
in America, this highly diversified region has
become a Mecca for talented individuals in virtually
every field imaginable. Indeed the colorful pageant
of human history continues to unfold here; for
perhaps in no other place on earth is there an
environment more conducive to innovative thinking,
creativity and growth than this exciting, sun
bathed valley stretching between the mountains
and the sea in Orange County.
Orange County was Created March 11 1889, from
part of Los Angeles County, and, according to
tradition, so named because of the flourishing
orange culture. Orange, however, was and is a
commonplace name in the United States, used originally
in honor of the Prince of Orange, son-in-law of
King George II of England.

About
Mission Viejo California: |
Located
in South Orange County, Mission Viejo is a planned
community that once had cattle grazing on its
hillsides. The land was purchased from the O’Neill
family nearly half a century ago, and the first
homes were built in 1966. By the late 80’s,
Mission Viejo became a city, and now houses almost
100,000 residents. Locals enjoy activities at
the Mission Viejo Lake, shopping at The Shops
at Mission Viejo and the Kaleidoscope Courtyard,
and their biggest celebration of the year at the
July 4th Street Fair. The community is also proud
of their world renowned Nadadores swim team and
Saddleback Community College, which offers some
of the best courses in the county. The zipcodes
of Mission Viejo are: 92675, 92690, 92691, 92692,
92694
Mission
Hospital is the largest hospital in south Orange
County and serves as the area's regional trauma
center. It also offers one of two Children's Hospital
of Orange County locations providing care for
children. Mission Viejo has numerous recreational
areas such as the Norman P. Murray Community and
Senior Center[18] there are about two parks per
square mile. The city has three golf courses,
The Mission Viejo Country Club, Casta del Sol
Golf Course, and the Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club.
At the center of the city is a man-made lake,
Lake Mission Viejo, a private association for
Mission Viejo residents with custom waterfront
homes, condominiums, boat and paddle board rentals,
fishing, and swim beaches. Lake Mission Viejo
also holds events such as music concerts and movie
screenings, usually complimentary for members
and typically during the summer season. The Shops
at Mission Viejo and the Kaleidescope Courtyards
serve as the city's two main shopping, dining
and entertainment centers. Both cater to an upper
middle class customer demographic and feature
family-oriented facilities and services. Mission
Viejo also hosts a number of athletic events such
as 5K runs and triathlons throughout the year.
The city holds a variety of annually recurring
events to celebrate holidays including a street
fair and fireworks for Independence Day and public
decorations and interactive activities for children
during the winter holiday season featuring representation
for multiple popular religions.
HISTORY
Mission Viejo was purchased by John Forster, a
Mexican also known as Don Juan. During the Mexican-American
War, Forster provided fresh horses to United States
military forces which were used on the march of
San Diego to retake Los Angeles. Mission Viejo
was a hilly region primarily used as cattle and
sheep grazing land, since it was of little use
to farmers. This city was one of the last regions
of Orange County to be urbanized due to its geologic
complexity. In 1960, early developers dismissed
most of the land in Mission Viejo as simply "undevelopable".[8]
Donald Bren, an urban planner who later became
the president of the Irvine Company, drafted a
master plan which placed roads in the valleys
and houses on the hills, and contoured to the
geography of the area.[8] The plan worked, and
by 1980 much of the city of Mission Viejo was
completed. During the late 1970s and the 1980s,
houses in Mission Viejo were in such high demand
that housing tracts often sold out before construction
even began on them.[9] The houses and shopping
centers in the city are almost uniformly designed
in a Spanish mission style, with "adobe"-like
stucco walls and barrel-tile roofs. Many point
to Mission Viejo as the first and largest manifestation
of Bren's obsession with Spanish architecture.
Bren's company was also the creator of the developments
in Irvine, and Newport Beach. The company expanded
its operations and went on to build the Lakes
project in Tempe, Arizona, Mission Viejo Aurora
in Colorado and was the initial master planner
of Highlands Ranch, both in the Denver Metropolitan
area. The seal of the city of Mission Viejo was
designed and drawn by Carl Glassford, an artist
and former resident of the city.
Sports
Mission Viejo has a major youth athletic facility,
Mission Viejo Youth Athletic Park. The park consists
of eight baseball fields and five soccer fields.
It is host to Little League District 68, AYSO
Region 84, and four competitive soccer clubs:
Pateadores Soccer Club, Mission Viejo Soccer Club,
West Coast Futbol Club, and Saddleback United
Soccer Club. The Mission Viejo Nadadores Swimming
and Mission Viejo Nadadores Diving Team won a
string of national championships and produced
a number of Olympians and world record holders
in the 1970s and 1980s. Olympians included Shirley
Babashoff, Brian Goodell, Larson Jenson, Maryanne
Graham, Nicole Kramer, Casy Converse, Marcia Morey,
Dara Torres, and Greg Louganis. Mission Viejo
hosted the Road Cycling Events during the 1984
Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles. The old O'Neill
Road was renamed Olympiad Rd. in honor of the
Olympic events in 1984. There is also a soccer
facility, now used by the town's youth soccer
program, that was used as a training field by
the United States men's national soccer team before
and during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, hosted by
the United States. Mission Viejo is the largest
AYSO Region in the country. The Saddleback College
ballpark hosted the Mission Viejo Vigilantes minor
league baseball team of the Western Baseball League
from 19962001. Now the ballpark has a semi-pro
collegiate team, the Orange County Fire. Mission
Viejo is also the hometown of NFL quarterback
Mark Sanchez, Minnesota Twins pitcher Phil Hughes,
and Chicago White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche,
former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Don August, Boston
Red Sox outfielder Allen Craig, Top Shot Season
4 Champion Chris Cheng, and PBA Tour Champion
Scott Norton.
Mission
Viejo neighbors the city of Lake Forest: Lake
Forest is a planned community that was once a
stagecoach stop between Los Angeles and San Diego.
The community then called “El Toro”
was in fact formed after WWII with the help of
the El Toro Marine Base. Lake Forest became a
city in the early 1990’s, and now prides
itself on having the first of Orange County’s
historical parks by establishing Heritage Hill;
the park was created to preserve Lake Forest’s
vibrant history. Lake Forest also has a new planned
neighborhood, Foothill Ranch offers both wilderness
and community. Foothill Ranch is home to The Whiting
Ranch Wilderness Park, which consists of trails,
rock formations, and streams as well as a rest
stop and exhibits. This community is close to
shopping, dining and entertainment in South Orange
County. Within Lake Forest are the communities
of Portola Hills, El Toro and Foothill Ranch.
Lake Forest borders Aliso Viejo, Irvine, Mission
Viejo, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Laguna Beach
and Rancho Santa Margarita. Lake Forest offers
fantastic mountain views and quiet living for
singles, couples and families in Orange County.
Residents enjoy swimming, tennis, basketball,
and volleyball at the brand new Concourse Park.
The community is just minutes from various shopping
centers and marketplaces. The zipcodes of Lake
Forest are: 92609, 92630, 92610, 92679.
And
Mission Viejo neighbors the city of Rancho Santa
Margarita: Before it was owned by the O’Neill
family, Rancho Santa Margarita was home to Shoshonean
Native Americans. RSM is one of the many planned
communities in Orange County and is also one of
the newest, having become a city in 2000. The
community known as “A Small City with the
Soul of a Small Village” is the perfect
place for families and today nearly 50,000 people
call it home. Community activities such as the
Fourth of July Celebration and the Summer Concert
Series are favorites among residents. Dove Canyon
is a gated community in Rancho Santa Margarita.
Within
Rancho Santa Margarita are the communities of
Dove Canyon and Coto De Caza that
border the Cleveland National Forest and is best
known for its choice golf courses. Rancho Santa
Margarita borders Ladera Ranch, San Juan Capistrano,
Mission Viejo, San Clemente, Talega, Trabucco
Canyon and Laguna Niguel. Residents enjoy the
outdoors at the Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park
and the Wagon Wheel Park Bike Trails, as well
as a variety of community and family events
such as the Boo Bash and Holiday in the Park.
The zipcodes of Rancho Santa Margarita are: 92688,
92679.
