Do I Need Permission?

This is a great article written by Dianne Brinson, a copyright attorney. It fully explains what rights you have as an artist or photographer. It explains what you need permission to photograph and what you don't need permission for.
It's nice to have a clear explanation about the federal laws on photographing landscapes, buildings and people. Just remember... Anyone can still sue your for anything, but it doesn't mean they will win.

This is a bit of an important subject for me as I paint lots of architecture.
