Thank you Zddooah! I didn't mean to make it this complicated for myself, but I guess I did. Thank you for the education, I'm just over here 'bumping into trees', haha. I just wanted to make sure that when I register these images with the office I complete the forms correctly which you...

Well I have a few questions that I originally posted. What constitutes a 'published' vs 'unpublished' And then what date do I use when submitting a 'published' photo. It does not make sense to me that a 'published' photo date overrides when it was originally taken.... Sorry if I am confusing...

Hello: I have some photography copyright questions I am hoping to get answered. I have a family member's film negatives that were originally taken back in 1989-1993. As fas I know none have ever been published and he was the photographer (I do not believe work for hire either). He gave the...
