This doesn't require an attorney, filing fees are nominal and s/he can sue for up to $10K or $15K, depending on the state he's in. Should be a very easy copyright infringement case to prove in court and it will the radio station to prove they had the photographer's permission to use said photos. The images do not need to have been registered in order for the photographer to claim exclusive ownership. The photographer should sue the radio station in small claims court.

After registration, the matter can be pursued in Federal court and I am pretty sure that if he has a clear cut case of violation by the station that he could find a copyright attorney who would be happy to work on commission.

Photos can be broken down into 3 groupings: Those that belong in an album because they also tell a story; those that should be preserved in a box; and those that we can simply throw away. We also encourage people to use themes to organize a lifetime of photos. In today's digital world, we take so many more pictures than we did in our film days, and we also tend to have boxes and boxes of printed photos, memorabilia, and old home movies as well! Photo organizing can be an overwhelming task, but the most important thing is to simply set aside some time and use a system that works for you.

I used a really old macintosh a few times (old girlfriend has one), i haven't a clue what model it was; a monochrome display, 14"ish display all in one system with a 3 1/4 floppy drive under the screen. Other then that brief taste of apple i used every version of windows and still do. That changed a little at the end of 2009, i was made redundant and not only did they want the car & the phone back they also wanted my lap-top! (how cheeky) i decided i was going to work for myself for a while and needed a lap top so i bought a 13" macbook pro. i had taken a bite out of the apple brand the year before with an iphone 3 and loved it. i now do most of my work even editing on the mac (updated hard drive and ram) but still with over to a window 7 machine for any serious pixel pushing.I consider myself on the fence and in neither camp, i use the mac because it is laptop but am as happy on a pc. i own, shoot and love my canon gear but have used and am happy to use nikon.

When you click on it to make it larger it shows up fine, so not sure what the problem is. Looking forward to more images! I like the idea.
