So this girl walks up and photographs my home - GoFuckYourself.com

DBS.US · 03-29-2008, 02:20 PM

I ask her why, she says her job is to take a photo of every home in the city for a website called Zaio.com/

JasonSmokes · 03-29-2008, 02:26 PM

I wonder if they are getting releases for those houses?

payd2purv · 03-29-2008, 02:39 PM

As a kid people would always stop to take pictures of our houses..

some times they would just stop and say.

"HOLY SHIT THAT'S A HOUSE!?!?!?"

tony286 · 03-29-2008, 02:42 PM

can they do that?

Iron Fist · 03-29-2008, 02:50 PM

That's a small house... got 2257?

you can take a picture of anything you want that you can walk up to and see from a public place.

woj · 03-29-2008, 02:58 PM

interesting...

brandonstills · 03-29-2008, 03:20 PM

It's visible from a public place. I don't see why it isn't. Real estate companies do that all the time.

I don't think so. I've been taking pictures of your "old wrinkled, out of shape ass" using a long lens camera and selling the pics to a tabloid for years. I've had NO trouble selling these horrific images without a release and the magazine has been publishing them without any trouble at all!

You might try closing your blinds or something. You can't do anything about pics of your home.

You should run up the street and tell your neighbours, so they can plant their naked ass against the front window.

Smile!!

I think release is needed from a person who is on the photo.

Btw I guess that chick lied and wanted a date.

SayWhut · 03-29-2008, 04:11 PM

What camera was she using?

Chris · 03-29-2008, 04:13 PM

Even if there's no identifiable humans in the photo some circumstances may require a property release to be signed before it is used for commercial purposes.

She said she got paid per photo, but didn't say how much

a house isnt a public place its private property. If I take a picture of a office building and plan to get paid for that photo.I need a release from the building or they can sue the shit out of me.

Tell that to Google Earth! They don't give a fluck about your, "release," or anything like that!

You don't need a release in this type of situation, this much is obvious.

Only certain shit man. Example being the Eiffel tower at night only. There are steps one needs to take to prevent such usage. They are just not permitted to step on private property to gain such pictures if someone desires. This also may be prevented if someone lives in a gated community where the streets are typically privately owned.

Really? Interesting since I can bet you can find a picture of your house on your county tax records website

And guess what? The person who took that picture got paid to take it.

Maybe you need to sue the shit out of them.

I checked the website in the employment section. They claim around $200 per day, on a per-photo basis. Her story seems to check out. I couldn't quite understand what they are doing with the photos though.

As I said certain steps.

For instance if I had a mural commissioned for my house and copyrighted it, then nobody could technically use that image for commercial usage.

L-Pink · 03-29-2008, 05:15 PM

It was probably the sign in your front yard ......

Guess they'd just blur it :D

Wonder how Mercedes feels if there are cars in the driveways ;)

And that is exactly what they do with certain peoples faces, logo's, etc.

Peaches · 03-29-2008, 05:36 PM

It's funny how recently in TV shows (reality mostly, I suppose) they've started blurring the artwork in the background. I don't remember this until a few years ago.
