Paper long abstract:
Using material from Cameroonian Studio photographers I will discuss ways in which the meaning and use of photographic images changes through the duration of each image's biography.
Some Cameroonian examples of use, reuse and changed meanings will be contrasted with the effects and changes of my own role in the lives of some Cameroonian photos (and their creators), especially through the creation of digital archives. These effects raise delicate questions for images ethics, rights and copyrights which existing codes and varying legal provisions address in ways which are worrying for a range of different reasons.
