Big Changes in Orlando

Reports coming out from the National Press Photographers Associaiton that the Orlando Sentinel has told all of its staff photojournalists they have until tomorrow to reapply for new jobs that are much more video-centric. While the need to produce more video is certainly there, is this the best path? To threaten job loss? Wouldn’t a progress policy of training be...

Alumn Goes Viral

Sometimes, opening email is a pure joy … Jon-Michael Sullivan, a 2010 graduate of our program at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication and now on staff at the Augusta Chronicle, sent me a note about a video he posted in September telling the story of a 70 year old body builder. Normally, I’d embed...

How the AP and Getty Cover the Olympics

Nice piece over at Gizmodo by Mario Aguilar about how the Associated Press and Getty Images are covering the Winter Olympics – everything from the technology to the philosophy is covered.

A Blogger Learns a Lesson

And, thankfully, she does genuinely learn about copyright. Best part is Roni Loren then goes on to share what she’s learned with other bloggers. Takeaway: If you didn’t create a photo, make sure you have a license for it. In writing. (Thanks to Seth Gitner for the link.)

“One must not think about doing things in life, one must do them.”

For those who don’t know his work, Don McCullin has been one of the preeminent war photographers of the last half century. While his work has moved away from the dark days of conflict, his newer work is still stunningly good. As a tease, here’s a three minute interview with him done by Alfred Dunhill … This next piece is...

Monetizing Traffic or Content?

Very good piece over at The Atlantic by Alexis C. Madrigal on the kids behind Twitter phenom @HistoryInPics – and why it, like a few other similar endeavors, are basically stealing other people’s work for profit. The audiences that Di Petta and Cameron have built are created with the work of photographers who they don’t pay or even credit. They...

We’ve Lost Dave Martin

Didn’t really want to start 2014 with two downbeat posts, but I must … Associated Press staff photographer Dave Martin collapsed and died at the end of last night’s Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta. Martin had been on staff with the AP for nearly 30 years and, while I never met him, knew his work and his reputation well. He has...
