On this episode of Photo Geek Weekly, Chris Niccolls joins Don Komarechka to discuss the future of camera firmware and how we might see a subscription model in the future, photographers right's vs. the rights of people they photograph, where copyright lies in terms of idea or execution and one of the worst reputations I've seen in the industry gets successfully sued by former clients. All this and more, thanks as always for listening!
