Who Pays Photographers?: Freelancing—or Working... →
whopaysphotogs:
“Know the code. All of these statements mean they want you to work for nothing.

A loaf of bread, a flask of wine, a book of verse...
My sixth solo exhibit (which features the longest title yet) explores the role of bread in history. Borrowing from different eras and genres of art from the Italian Renaissance, Dutch Baroque, French Impressionism to 20th Century advertising and Pop Art I have undertaken to investigate how bread has shaped the world. It’s a lot more interesting than you’d think! For those who have...

Photoshop Law takes effect in Israel. What do you...
Interesting. Without the 18.5% BMI clause this would have probably led to more models starving themselves since photoshopping their bodies would have to be made public knowledge. Questions remain however. Except in the case of portraiture, I photoshop the crap out of everyone because well, we ALL need a little work. I’ve seen and retouched literally thousands of pimples and wrinkles. Would...

Mine! But you can use it :)
Yes, Bill C-11 has some drawbacks and aspects of it are controversial (especially when it comes to internet privacy). On the upside, there’s this if you’re a photographer living & working in Canada:

Super-judging the 12X12 Photo Marathon
Since 2009 60 photographers in the lower mainland have gathered to participate in the 12x12 Vancouver photo Marathon. I was one of them in 2009 and 2010. The rules are; Every marathoner receives a roll of film with 12 exposures at the beginning of the marathon. At the top of every hour a theme is announced. The themes are deliberately vague so that they remain open to a variety of...

NYT criticized for graphic image. Thoughts? →
SO THE NEW YORK TIMES is receiving criticism for publishing a graphic photo (by Sam Gewitz) of the shooting at The Empire State Building. Graphic gun violence is common in movies and video games. Why the uproar this time? Is it simply because this was a real life? Consider this; until recently combat/war footage was seldom censored. Robert Capa’s images from the Spanish Civil War and WWII...

And I will be taking their portraits. As you know I host an exhibit / cocktail party every year. This year I have decided to auction off these portraits and donate the proceeds to help re-build a new boxing gym for kids on...
