It Ain’t Broke, So Why Fix It?

David Jacobs is the Publisher of the Boston Courant, a weekly news organization with 40,000 subscribers. But I can’t link to it because, even though he founded the company in 1995, he hasn’t put it on the web. That’s right – no Twitter, no YouTube channel, no web site. Nothing. The only way to read it is to order up...

Photographers You Should Know About

Scott Bourne over at PhotoFocus has stolen an idea from me. Of course, it’s an idea I never executed, but whatever … he is beginning a series on Photographers You Should Know About with a look at Dorothea Lange, one of the stars of the Farm Securities Administration in the 1930s. Worth keeping an eye on this series if he...

If You Thought Copyright Idiocy Was Running Rampant Here …

Wait until you read the comments from one Matthew Fearn, a deputy picture editor at the Telegraph in Britain as reported in the British Journal of Photography: Our industry therefore adopts the stance that if a picture has no overwhelming artistic value and if there is no issue of exclusivity (ie it is already being published online or elsewhere) then...

The Education of Walter Iooss, Jr.

Sports Illustrated has posted an autobiographical piece by one of their legends, Walter Iooss, Jr. It’s a long read, but worth it as he tells tales of shooting the greats over the last 50 years. My self-aggrandizing moment: I assisted for Iooss once, in about 1995, on a shoot of Mo Vaughn at Fenway Park. Learned a ton, even if...

The Spot News Photo Master at ICP

There is one undisputed master when it comes to spot news and crime photography, and that’s Weegee. Prowling the streets of New York City in the 1930s and 1940s, he was there first more often than the cops were. The International Center of Photography in NYC has a show of his work up now, apparently including a replica of the...

Just a Matter of Time … and Why It Happened

Sometimes, Twitter brings great news. Sometimes, it doesn’t … Remy Thurston, a new student of mine, sent me a direct message a little while ago: The New York Times is reporting Kodak has filed for bankruptcy protection. I could ponder this for a while, kick a stone around the parking lot, asking how the heck does this happen? But I...
