I have never noticed that there is a kind of ionising radiation
trefoil symbol on one of the buildings in the roofscape. Unintentional,
I’m sure. In line with ‘found objects’ and the subliminal, I only saw it after
I had pasted it on!
Candia Comes Clean 
I did research at Los Alamos Nat’l Labs for 30 yrs. so the rad symbol actually is a fond one for me. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling so to speak 😬. I also have expertise in applied math of measurement uncertainty so the other parts feel right also. Good job! Bob
Is this a commentary on the habits of some countries to flavor tea with a bit of polonium? 😉
These are brilliant!
Thanks. Apparently using other people’s photos even in new combinations and only using part of them is an infringement of copyright should you wish to make commercial art. It is okay for your own use, I believe. This is understandable, but frustrating as I thought new combinations were okay. Don’t know how collage artists in the past managed to create their works! I am just doing these for fun.
The very same thing crossed my mind as I was working on them. It’s true that we could probably never use them for commercial purposes. Then again, I never intended to either. It is fun! Although shouldn’t they be considered at least semi-original works? Otherwise, songs that have some of the same chords as others should be considered plagiarism, isn’t it?
I know but I read that even a percentage use of say a photo of someone else’s is not legal.
Not even an eye? Oh well…
There are photos which have been made available for any creative use. I just find it frustrating that I can’t use newspaper photos for serious work. Picasso used bits of newsprint, I’m sure. He got away with it.
There are websites where we can find photos available for creative or commercial use (for free). But they’re probably not exactly what we’re looking for. Ha, I’m sure it was easier for people back then to get away with something like this. Especially before the invention of intellectual property.
Imagine Andy Warhol being sued by Heinz, Brillo Pads or Campbell’s!
Haha! Well, here’s to not being sued 🙂
