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…

Hello 911? I’d like to report a trainwreck

When was the last time you had a door slammed in your face. For me, it was this afternoon when Digital Railroad suddenly shut it's doors. This was the short note on the Homepage, simply titled, "Final Goodbye". I must say that this short, nearly terse and unsympathetic move leaves…

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…

Confessions of a Craigslist Photographer

The text reads, "I am a professional Photographer, and I have no idea what f-stops, ISO, or that other crap is." OK, maybe they're not advertising on Craigslist... but it's highly likely! How can you be a professional photographer and not know what an f-stop is? OK, granted, I once…

It only hurts when you get stung

One of the long standing pitfalls when using Royalty Free photos has always been the non-exclusive nature of that sales model, meaning anyone can buy it, and anyone can use it. But the honey-scent of low cost often proves too attractive for most budget conscious users. You can almost hear…

A “Fixed” News Photo – You decide

So this evening I was doing some random surfing on the internet; and speaking of surfing... Check out this photo taken during this years Maverick's Surf Contest by photographer Brant Ward. The image appears on the SFGate.com photo gallery pages. The SFGate is owned by Hearst Newspapers, and everything about…

Getty-tanic; Ours is not to wonder why…

So the big gorilla is all dressed up, hair combed back into tiny braids, and the pink tutu is donned with matching leotards. Is Cinderella's ball this week? No. What about the prom? No. Is it time to parade the hairy beast across the stage so that buyers can see…

World War One left…

Picture: Cannon at Fort Ross State Historic Park, Fort Ross, Sonoma County coast, California It's hard to believe when something so big has been reduced by so much over time that suddenly there's only one left. Today, AP reported on the passing of the second to last U.S. WWI vet,…

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

You should all know I'm a very vocal advocate for intellectual property rights. I'm also very much againstÂ big mega-corporate conglomerates that use gorilla tactics to to assert ownership over something they don't own or can't control. Â Let's take the NFL for example: Yesterday I watched the game with my…

Dead See Rolls

Now, I'm not talking about a biblical discovery, but for the photography world, it's a pretty darn amazing find. The New York Times has reported the finding of thousands of frames of film from famous war photographer Robert Capa. One of Capa's most well know shots is "The Falling Soldier",…

The Gorilla on the block, make that the auction block... The New York Times reports that Getty Images has placed itself up for sale, for the princely sum of one and a half Billion dollars. After gobbling up small agency after small agency, and taking over the control of an…

How many photographers can you p*ss off at once?

A whole heck of a lot, if you're name is Getty Images. Over the last week or so, photographers have gone up in arms over Getty's announcement that they would be offering a new price point for images used on web sites. The amount that set off this ire; $49.00.…

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. This speech touches on his belief that a good war photo should become a powerful anti-war message, and that…

Brother, can you spare a beer?

So there's this little news item floating around down under. An ad agency for Virgin Mobile in Australia used a bunch of photos from flickr in a current promotional campaign. The images were made available by the photographer(s) using the Creative Commons License (CC, CCL). These licenses are often used…
