Freetard or visionary? (Via BJP)
Written by David WhiteWe had Jonathan Worth come down to our recent Hinterlands workshop to talk to our students. He’s a really great bloke and fascinating to listen to…not to mention handy with a Mamiya.
To say he’s rocking the world of photographic education is an understatement.
Read here on the BJP about how Creative Commons is working for him and his approach to free:
“To Worth, copyright laws are part of a 20th century legal framework that doesn’t fit 21st century technology or practices, and like Fred Ritchin, author of After Photography, he believes digital capture and distribution have fundamentally changed photography so much that we’re now living in a “post-photographic” society. Worth has written two experimental classes with input from Ritchin, Photography and Narrative (#PHONAR) and Picturing the Body (#PICBOD), which were written for Coventry University but are freely available online and address the radical changes in photography.”
Here is a picture of Jonathan asleep. Or is it Brad Pitt? Hard to tell. I am giving this image out gratis to anyone that wants one:
