In that time, Augustus Caesar sent an order that all people in the countries under Roman rule must list their names in a register. And all went to their own towns to be registered. So Joseph left Nazareth, a town in Galilee, and went to the town of Bethlehem in Judea, known as the town of David. Joseph went there because he was from the family of David.

While they were in Bethlehem, the time came for Mary to have the baby, and she gave birth to her first son. Because there were no rooms left in the inn, she wrapped the baby with pieces of cloth and laid him in a box where animals are fed.

That night, some shepherds were in the fields nearby watching their sheep.

Then an angel of the Lord stood before them.

The glory of the Lord was shining around them, and they became very frightened. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news that will be a great joy to all the people. Today your Savior was born in the town of David. He is Christ, the Lord. This is how you will know him: You will find a baby wrapped in pieces of cloth and lying in a feeding box.” Then a very large group of angels from heaven joined the first angel, praising God and saying: “Give glory to God in heaven, and on earth let there be peace among the people who please God.” When the angels left them and went back to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem. Let’s see this thing that has happened which the Lord has told us about.” So the shepherds went quickly and found Mary and Joseph and the baby, who was lying in a feeding box.

When they had seen him, they told what the angels had said about this child. Everyone was amazed at what the shepherds said to them. Then the shepherds went back to their sheep, praising God and thanking him for everything they had seen and heard. It had been just as the angel had told them.

“God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.

There seems to be confusion concerning Copyright Law and Photographs. I figured I’d attempt to clear it up.

If you want to read all the ‘technical stuff’ about Copyright Law go here. But I’ll spare you the technical words and confusion and give you a synopsis of what Copyright means to us.

On the back of every picture we print is a sticker like the one above. If you were to take this picture to a local printer (Meijer, Walgreens, WalMart, etc.) they would not make re-prints for you.

Unfortunately, with the development of high quality Scanners and Photo Quality Printers, a professionally created and copyrighted image has never been easier to copy in the comfort of your own home. We have to trust that our clients understand the Copyright Law and that they will not copy our prints anywhere.

What exactly do you mean when you say Copying? (glad you asked) Copying means reproducing the work in any material form. This can include storing on disks or making copies. It is not necessary for the whole of a work to be reproduced – the reproduction of a substantial part will suffice. Purchasing a print does not transfer the Copyright.

Basically, all this means that any photography by Modern Photographics is protected from copying, scanning or reproduction under the Federal Copyright Act of 1976.

We usually find out when a copy has been made, either online (facebook, myspace, blogger, etc) or in print, and we handle each copyright infringement as we see necessary.

I hope I was able to clear that up.

But, just in case:
