An Open Letter to Myra Borshoff Cook, Tour Organizer for Jack Kerouac's On the Road Manuscript Scroll
Dear Ms. Borshoff Cook:
Recently I wrote an article expressing my displeasure over not being able to photograph Jack Kerouac's classic manuscript "On the Road," currently on display at the San Francisco Public (sic) Library. The current owner of the document, Indianapolis Colt's owner Jim Irsay, has publicly stated his opinion that the scroll "belongs to the people." Still, irrespective of this "belongs to the people" assertion, you, as the organizer of the current tour of the scroll, apparently have decided not to allow photography of the document.
You have responded to my original article claiming that although Mr. Irsay owns the manuscript, he does not own the "copyright" to On The Road. This argument is hollow and does not ring true and well wouldn't Jack be proud. You go on to say that "therefore," you "had to work with the lawyers representing the holders of the copyright and that is why the photography policy was set." That's good information to consider, as I'm sure Jack would have been sure to consult with the attorneys of the railroad cars that he would hop back when he was alive.
Your copyright argument is flawed. I'm not sure how familiar you are with cameras these days, but as a photographer I can assure you that as the scroll is presently displayed, no one would be able to take more than a snippet of text, and only with a macro lens at best. You cannot shoot the words of the scroll clearly underneath the plexi-glass that you have over the document and to shoot through the glass would require sitting a lens on the glass which rests less than a foot from the document itself.
Although you cite "copyright" as your objection I would remind you of the general concept of "fair use," Nolo Press has a nice write up on it. "Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism. The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner's exclusive rights." Further, taking snippets of text from copyrighted materials and quoting them is in fact fair use.
As you are well aware, it would be difficult if not impossible to copy large portions of the text of this document. Further, someone possessing photographs of the document still in no way reduces the copyright holders rights. The copyright on this document is not on the document itself but on the words contained therin. It would be no different than if I quoted from a paperback version or took a photograph of a paperback version of Jack's classic text.
So in the spirit of fair use I have decided to disregard your and the San Francisco Public Library's "no photography" policy and have in fact taken photos of your closely guarded scroll that per Irsay "belongs to the people." As I'm sure Jack didn't heed the no jumping rail cars signs I'll also disregard your "no photography allowed" signs. If, as you suggest, your copyright argument holds I'm sure that I'll be hearing from your lawyers shortly regarding my illegal use of copyrighted material. That's what I thought.

"Auge um Auge - und die ganze Welt wird blind sein."
"An eye for an eye will make us all blind." Mahatma Ghandi
Happy Xmas (War Is Over) ist ein Lied von John Lennon und Yoko Ono, das erstmals am 1. Dezember 1971 als Single in den USA veröffentlicht wurde. In Großbritannien erfolgte die Veröffentlichung erst knapp ein Jahr später am 24. November 1972.
Entstanden im historischen Umfeld des Vietnamkriegs als Protestlied, entwickelte es sich im Laufe der Zeit im angelsächsischen Sprachraum zu einem geradezu klassischen Weihnachtslied. Der Text basiert auf dem Slogan einer Antikriegs-Kampagne von Lennon und Ono aus dem Dezember 1969. Für diese Kampagne mieteten die beiden Werbeflächen auf Plakatwänden in mehreren großen Städten weltweit, darunter New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Tokio, Rom und Berlin. Die Aufschrift lautete: “WAR IS OVER! IF YOU WANT IT Happy Christmas from John & Yoko” (deutsch: „Der Krieg ist aus! Wenn du es willst. Fröhliche Weihnachten von John und Yoko“). 1971 waren die Vereinigten Staaten noch stark in den zunehmend unpopulären Vietnamkrieg verwickelt. Die Zeile “War is over, if you want it, war is over, now!” die im Hintergrund vom Chor gesungen wird, stammt aus der Kampagne.
„‚Happy Xmas‘ haben Yoko und ich gemeinsam geschrieben. Es heißt darin: ‚War is over if you want it‘. Das war immer noch dieselbe Message – der Gedanke, dass wir genauso verantwortlich sind wie der Mann, der die Knöpfe drückt. Solange die Menschen die Vorstellung haben, dass es ihnen jemand antut und dass sie keine Macht haben, haben sie keine Macht.“
– John Lennon: Dezember 1980

Some results of the Plantin Instituut voor Typografie / Plantin Institute of Typography Expert Class Type Design 2010 – 2011 by Frank Blokland in Antwerp, Belgium. Picture is part of Frank Blokland's design for a poster as an invitation to the exhibition at the Plantin Moretus Museum this September. Text and images by the participants – click "notes" for links.
Opening September 10, 12:00h.
My contribution is second row second column. As it was meant as a body text face, and I do not believe too much in typographical detail anyway, It has a clear rhythm, supported by the seris. I show a text sample: left part without any kerning, right part (partim) with "optical kerning" in InDesign. More on the evolution to this typeface on this Flickr set. Maybe listen to some music at it .
Had the idea of placing a ring in the centrefold of a book and photographing the heart shaped shadow it creates. But I got bored trying to set the shot up, so pulled out this old book that was my Grandads in the late 1920s.
Based on the text in the photo you'd think it was the screenplay for Pulp Fiction, but I couldn't find any reference in it to a Big Kahuna Burger.

Ooh, and I finished writing all of the testimonials (except for comments I got on that photo today)! YAY! That took a long time....but of course it was worth it because all of you guys are such incredible people :D
Anyways, I'm off to go Christmas shopping with one of my buddies... hope you all have a great day!
Please do not use without crediting me or informing me first. Thank you.

Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.
Is it possible to make a rugby stadium inside a 100 square feet ground ?
