Ethics – what would you do?

I've never taken a Photojournalism class, or any journalism class for that matter. That makes me admittedly a little fuzzy on the subject of ethics for reporters. PDN Pulse reports this week on a photographer getting fined $1,000.00 and possible jail time for refusing to hand over a bunch of…

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.…

The Way it Was; Jobs in the Photography Field

Some people engaged in the Microstock arena are fond of calling us "Rights-Managed" licensing model proponents, "Dinosaurs". But name calling aside, none of us are very good at being absolute predictors of future events. But looking backwards into time is often a little more fun, albeit nostalgic. Thanks to a…

Ripped off – like fer’ sure!

While catching up on some newsgroup reading, there was a thread in a forum populated by microstock shooters that was called, "Ripped Off". It seems this photographer had seen one of his images used in an editorial publication, but credited to the wrong photographer. His apparent assumption was that this…

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…

A pot calling the kettle white

Over on a microstock newsgroup, someone posted link to an interview with a pro photographer at ASSIGNMENT ZERO. Never heard of them? A place where amateurs write "news" stories and interviews, which are then edited, published, and used on the Assignment zero web site, and the original writers happily accept…

Enjoy the Game, do your Job, but remember - we own your a$$. This seems to be the sentiment passed along from major league teams of the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), and many other national sports organizations.

Up, Down, and Confused.

There's so much talk about how hard it is to be a professional photographer these days, especially if you rely on income from stock photo sales for a living. To be honest, there's a lot to be said for the difficulties of being in this industry, watching supply soar and…
