Instagram Scam
A new Instagram scam is going around. Scammers send a message notifying you that one of your photos was reported for copyright infringement with a message reading: “We recently received a report of a photo posted on your Instagram. An image of your album is reported to contain copyright content. If no objection is made about the copyrighted work, we will need to remove your account. Please fill in the appeal form.”
There’s a “Go to Appeal Form” button below the message, inviting you to click on it. It contains a link that will take you to what seems an Instagram login page. If you enter your credentials – it’s done. The scammers have your username and password, which they will immediately change and ask you to pay them so they give your account back to you. Read the rest of this article over on DIY Photography.
APAG recommends setting up “Two factor authentication” so that only you can log into your Instagram account.

Meryl Meisler was born in 1951 in the South Bronx and raised in North Massapequa, Long Island, NY. Inspired by Diane Arbus, Jacques Henri Lartigue, and her dad Jack and grandfather Murray Meisler, Meryl began photographing herself, family, and friends while enrolled in a photography class at The University of Wisconsin – Madison. In 1975, Meryl moved to NYC and studied with Lisette Model, continuing to photograph her hometown, NYC street life, the infamous New York discos and sordid nightlife. A 1978 C.E.T.A. Artist Grant supported her portfolio on Jewish identity. After C.E.T.A., Meryl began a three-decade career as a NYC Public School Art Teacher. Upon retirement, she began releasing large bodies of previously unseen work, including three books, A Tale of Two Cities: Disco Era Bushwick (Bizarre, 2014), Purgatory & Paradise SASSY ‘70s Suburbia & The City (Bizarre, 2015) and New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco (Paradise Pictures Press, 2021) Meryl lives and works in New York City and Woodstock, NY, continuing the photographic memoir she began in 1973 – sweet and sassy with a pinch of mystery. Her photography is represented by CLAMPART.

Jane Olin has worked as an experimental photographer in California’s Monterey Bay area for over thirty years. Living at the epicenter of West Coast photography, she learned the skills and tenets of “straight” photography from the assistants and students of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. She now prefers to push the conventional boundaries of the wet darkroom, and purposely pours, sprays, and drips photographic solutions onto her exposed gelatin silver paper.
In 2022, Olin’s recent tree-based series Intimate Conversation is featured in Jane Olin-In The Company of Trees, a solo exhibition at NUMU New Museum Los Gatos in Los Gatos, CA, and Trees Stir in Their Leaves, a group exhibition at Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, AZ. Olin’s photography has been featured in solo and group exhibitions including at the Monterey Museum of Art in Monterey, CA, Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, CA and Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA.
Olin has won numerous juror awards, including a 2021 IPA International Photography Award curators’ choice Best of Show. Her work is held in collections including the Center for Creative Photography, Crocker Museum of Art in Sacramento, CA, Monterey Museum of Art, and Triton Museum of Art.
