When Art & Politics collide

I'm not expressing any particular political viewpoint here, but it should be well known that there are certainly times when art & politics collide. The most recent and major arts related issue to go bashing its way down the halls of Congress has been the Orphan Works legislation. (Find out…

How many reasons for a celebration?

How many reasons do you need for a celebration? For me, right now, it's two; the recent successful server upgrade and my blog upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 both of which seems to be working. (Knocking on wood.) However, I'm shorted by a mere 11,999,998 reasons when compared to photographer Liz…

Thank you for playing, “Who’s the Loser?”

The angry mom, the kid, the cop, or the photographer? (Sung to the tune of the TV show, Jeopardy) Da da dada dah da dah... Who is the Photographer, Alex? "Yes, that is correct, for $600.00" Read all about this saga of modern day collision of paranoia and civil liberties…

It only hurts when you get stung

Adobe Stock Photos bites the dust

I just got my email notice from Adobe Systems that Adobe Stock Photos will be discontinued on April 1st, 2008. Is this an April Fool's joke? I don't think so. Frankly, when I am doing photo research for clients, I've never used, or frankly, even thought of using Adobe Stock…

Come and get me NFL Copyright Police

A not so pretty look at the world

TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) presents a speech by James Nachtwey. If you're not familiar with who he is, he's probably one of the best documentary war photojournalists on the planet.
