Summary

Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.

The sculptural series, designed by Brad Oldham, Brandon Oldenburg, and Reel FX Creative Studios, metaphorically represents various aspects of Deep Ellum. The pieces were commissioned by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority as part of the artwork for the Deep Ellum DART rapid-rail station. As one of Dallas's first commercial districts for African-Americans and European immigrants, Deep Ellum is one of the most historically significant neighborhoods in the city.

In 2015, documentary photographer Carol Highsmith received a letter from Getty Images accusing her of copyright infringement for featuring one of her own photographs on her own website. It demanded payment of $120. This was how Highsmith came to learn that stock photo agencies Getty and Alamy had been sending similar threat letters and charging fees to users of her images, which she had donated to the Library of Congress for use by the general public at no charge. In 2016, Highsmith has filed a $1 billion copyright infringement suit against both Alamy and Getty stating “gross misuse” of 18,755 of her photographs. “The defendants [Getty Images] have apparently misappropriated Ms. Highsmith’s generous gift to the American people,” the complaint reads. “[They] are not only unlawfully charging licensing fees … but are falsely and fraudulently holding themselves out as the exclusive copyright owner.” According to the lawsuit, Getty and Alamy, on their websites, have been selling licenses for thousands of Highsmith’s photographs, many without her name attached to them and stamped with “false watermarks.” (more: http://hyperallergic.com/314079/photographer-files-1-billion-suit-against-getty-for-licensing-her-public-domain-images/)
