Nine Things We Hate to Hear

Alex Garcia of the Chicago Tribune has a post up on the things photojournalists hear all the time … and hate. Every single one of these I’ve heard … and hated. Of course, my favorite – when shooting with a still camera – was, “What station will this be on?” I have been told there was a UPI shooter who...

Shooting in a Spray

Chris Gregory put together the video below that takes a short look at shooting on Capital Hill now. I did this sort of work in the early 1990s for a technology newspaper – it is way different now. I had a weekly deadline, not an hourly one. Most of the things I was shooting had, maybe, one other shooter there....

We’ve Lost Tom Herde

Happened a few days ago, wasn’t sure what to say … Tom Herde, a veteran of the Boston Globe and Newark Star-Ledger, passed away on Tuesday. He was 62. Early in my shooting career, I would bump into him from time to time. I was stringing for the Associated Press, he on staff for the Globe. I never knew him...

The Photographic Cost of Liquidation

At one point in time, agencies ruled the photography world for magazine work. If you got yourself aligned with one of the good ones, work would flow in and you could travel the world on someone else’s expense voucher, telling important stories. But that agency model has been eroding for the last 15 years. Work-for-hire agreements and technology have obsoleted...

On Copyright, Licensing and Fees … Again

I will never, ever, stop hounding my students about the value of their work. So when I come across a smart synopsis of copyright, licensing and contracts, I’m going to share it with you. Every. Single. Time. On Monday afternoon I was sitting in a meeting with my boss and a colleague and the topic of “entrepreneurial journalism” came up....
