And in other news, another Kodak related situation: 'American Society of Media Photographers severs ties with Eastman Kodak' was the cover of my latest ASMP Bulletin. This situation looks ugly folks. There is a letter from ASMP President Les Riess and a reply from George M.C. Fisher, CEO of Eastman Kodak Company on the ASMP web site at: http://www.asmp.org Even though I use Fuji products almost exclusively, I hope they work it out. Kodak is accused of inappropriately soliciting work from advertising agencies and design firms in New York who handled Kodak projects. The solicitations were done in a way that is damaging to professional photographers by suggesting that 'using Kodak photographers would eliminate the need to negotiate for usage rights'. Additionally, Kodak's subsidiary Qualex is accused of leading the opposition of photofinishers against the efforts of ASMP and PPofA (Professional Photographers of America) to obtain fair treatment under regulations supporting copyright law, by creating Congressional interference with the Copyright Office process during the June 1996 hearings. Kodak claims that 'it did not know what its subsidiary was doing'... Being an ASMP general member, this should probably be the extent of my comments on the situation.
