Lexington native creates entertainment company

Lexington native creates entertainment company

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – A Lexington native aims to put his hometown on the map in the entertainment industry.

James Turley grew up off Georgetown Street. He is proud to be from Lexington and hopes to make a difference in the entertainment industry here, not just for himself but for other local artists too.

“Everybody else has a market,” said James Turley. “New York has a market, Florida has a market, Tennessee, Texas. Everybody has a market. Lexington is untouched.”

James Turley has been creating music for 20 years.

“Always want to perfect the craft,” said Turley.

His years of experience led him to launch his own music label.

“Let’s get our music out there,” said Turley. “What’s the best way to get our music out there? Create a visual. Let’s create a series because music videos are something that everybody’s doing. So, let’s go outside the norm. Let’s create a series.”

The series features nine other local artists and their work and some familiar sites.

“You’re gonna see a lot of Georgetown Street, and you get to see some of Masterson Station,” said Turley.

His vision goes beyond just music.

“We’re looking to bring concerts here. We’re looking to have artists meet up with major artists,” said Turley. We’re looking to maybe sign an artist.”

He’s creating an entertainment company, Turley Marshall Video Productions, that’s home-based.

“I want to be somebody who creates a path. So, that’s just something I do,” said Turley. “I create my own path.”

Through hard work, he’s creating a pathway to serve generations to come.

“I always say that I don’t dream,” said Turley.” You know, I wasn’t sleeping when this happened. This is more of a reality. I just woke up and said you know what, let’s go with something different. This is where it all begins.”

James is hosting a premier for his first three episodes at the Lyric Theater on January 12th. Here is where you can buy tickets.

Desktop Wallpaper: January 2024 With NASA and Karan Singh

We’re kicking off a fresh new year of Designer Desktops with an exciting start: this month’s feature comes from NASA – the National Aeronautics and Space Administration! While the fields of space exploration and modern design seem like they’re light years apart (pun intended), the truth is that they converge often here on Design Milk, with lighting inspired by NASA parachutes, space travel, space watches, the reveal of the SpaceX spacesuit, wallpaper reminiscent of NASA imagery, and the reissue of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual. As it turns out, many design lovers are also astronomy buffs.

For January’s Designer Desktop, NASA lends us a vibrant and futuristic poster designed by visual artist Karan Singh showcasing the Spitzer Space Telescope, a premier instrument that launched in 2003 as a tool to discover regions of space that are normally hidden from optical telescopes. In 2017, Spitzer made an exciting discovery revealing TRAPPIST-1, the first known system of seven rocky Earth-sized planets found around a single star outside our solar system. The habitable-zone planets are still widely a mystery, with only details about their mass and distance from the TRAPPIST-1 star known, but it brings us one step closer to learning about the truth about what’s really out there.

Singh’s poster illustrates the seven TRAPPIST-1 planets discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope in the foreground. Behind them, the TRAPPIST-1 star burns aglow while surrounded by an endless sea of far-away stars, a subtle reminder of how much more we have yet to learn.

Victoria photographer takes model to court for using photos he took of her

Victoria photographer takes model to court for using photos he took of her

A Victoria photographer has lost his case after taking a model to court after she posted the photos he took of her on a “paid” website.

That’s according to a BC Civil Resolution Tribunal decision after Stephon Mullett filed a claim against model Samantha Frigon in a case about copyright infringement.

“The parties agreed that the applicant would photograph the respondent and neither party would pay the other for their time and services,” reads the tribunal decision. “The applicant says the parties also both agreed they would not make any money off the photos by selling them or posting them on ‘paid’ websites, but they could post them on free social media sites. The applicant says he discovered the respondent had posted his photos on a paid website without his permission or the copyright to do so.”

Mullett was claiming $2,500 in damages. Frigon said that exactly how she could use the photos was unclear.

“The respondent admits to posting the photos on a paid website, but the respondent says the parties never agreed that was not permitted,” said the decision. “The respondent says they removed the photos from the website at the applicant’s request, and that the only money they earned from the photos was the $10 the applicant paid to access them. The respondent also says the parties never discussed the value of the photoshoots they did together, so they say the applicant is not entitled to the claimed damages.”

Mullett argued that Frigon emailed him at one point admitting she had made a mistake.

“The respondent stated ‘it was perhaps an error in judgment to use the photos,’” said the tribunal decision. “However, contrary to the applicant’s submission, I find that comment is insufficient to establish that the respondent knew posting the photos was a breach of their agreement. When read in the context of the entire email, I find the respondent was acknowledging that with hindsight and given the applicant’s reaction, they perhaps should have double-checked whether the applicant was okay with posting the photos on a paid site. I find this generally supports the respondent’s submission that the parties had not specifically discussed the issue. The respondent also stated that they had since received express permission from all other photographers they worked with to post their photos on paid websites.”

The CRT decision was also unconvinced that it was clear how Frigon could use the photos.

“Overall, I find it unproven that the parties specifically agreed the respondent would not post the applicant’s photos on paid sites,” the decision said. “As the parties clearly agreed to both use the photos for business purposes, in the absence of an express term otherwise, I find there is little distinction between posting photos on free sites and posting them on sites requiring a paid membership to see them. As I find there was no express term that the respondent would not post the photos on paid sites, I find the applicant has not established that the respondent breached the parties’ contract.”

Our Favorite Photography of 2023

Our Favorite Photography of 2023

Photographs convey what words cannot, which makes the two the perfect pairing in storytelling. While words can revive the past, detail the present, and sometimes even predict the future, the only way to make a photograph is in the moment,  and every story is an assemblage of moments. Here is a selection of frames where time, space, and light came together just so, as seen through the lens of the Beacon in 2023.
