It used to mean something when you told people you worked at The Philadelphia Inquirer,” a reporter recently told me, “This place used to be a Pulitzer factory.” For the past four years I have been photographing the rapid transformation of The Philadelphia Inquirer as the paper emerges from bankruptcy and struggles to adapt to a digital era.

While many credit the advent of the Internet as the origin of newspapers’ current woes, the newspaper industry has faced tremendous battles for the past quarter-century

A new book, Photographs Not Taken, conceived and edited by photographer Will Steacy compiles personal essays written by more than 60 photographers about a time when they didn’t or just couldn’t use their camera.
For his project “A Product of Our Environment,” photographer Will Steacy documented how food is marketed and sold in New York City neighborhoods, many of which have reported high rates of poverty, obesity, diabetes and people living without health insurance.
Will Steacy is like the lovechild of Charles Bukowski and Dorothea Lange. I first saw his work when he won the Magenta Foundation Emerging Photographers Award. His writing drew me closer. The son of a Philadelphia reporter, he is the author of the first blog I was ever compelled to read in its entirety
