[Have you cleaned you camera lately?]

          I was discussing the consent form topic last night and my  wife  asked
          if  there  was  any time limit related to this subject. An example she
          used was, You took a picture 10 years ago and now decided to enter  it
          in  a  contest and you didn't have a consent form signed by the people
          in the photo. Can you legally enter it in the contest?  Also  what  if
          you  take  a  picture of two people creating silhouette's, do you need
          their consent?  Do you need a consent form signed if you want  to  use
          photos of sculptures, buildings or peoples homes? Where do you need to
          draw the line.

          I have one other question. The consent form that was posted to the net
          has  a  line  for  the  witness.  Does  this mean that two people (not
          including the photographer) have to sign the form or can the photogra-
          pher be the witness?

          I never realized that making money with your camera could have so many
          legal  ramifications. Well all I know is that I have a still life of a
          mushroom that I may one day enter into a contest. I hope I don't  need
          a  consent  form  from it.  After I took the picture, I mowed the lawn
          and you can guess what happened to the mushroom.
