I’m not expressing any particular political viewpoint here, but it should be well known that there are certainly times when art & politics collide. The most recent and major arts related issue to go bashing its way down the halls of Congress has been the Orphan Works legislation. (Find out more about Orphan Works from the SAA & The Library of Congress.)
In a couple days, you can also cast your vote with the Arts in mind. The Presidential candidates have very different views on the role of the Arts & Government. Check out what the Los Angeles Times has to say on the subject of Obama, McCain, and the Arts.
As a photographer, I’m not telling you who to vote for, but I am telling you to vote. (Eligible U.S. citizens, of course.)
