Bush gives fist bump as farewell to official photographer
Eric Draper spent the last eight years alongside George W. Bush as the chief White House photographer. Draper, 44, who had covered the 2000 campaign for The Associated Press, took the White House from film to digital as he met world leaders and mixed it up with Britian’s Prince Philip. He also received an unexpected farewell gesture from No. 43 earlier this week. Here are excerpts from a telephone interview with Draper, who spoke from his home in Alexandria, Va.

A Photo Editor – The Biggest Scam In Photography
What’s the biggest scam in photography? Judging purely on angry comments I get and see when the topic is raised, it’s photo contests with portfolio reviews running a close second.
It’s only fair to link to PDN’s response, “Rob Haggart Writes a Poor Headline.”

Fairey, Obama, and Fair Use
Now that the source material for the iconic Barack Obama campaign image, produced by Shepard Fairey, has been identified, the fair use fun can begin. The photographer says that he doesn’t want to make trouble. But some in the art world have been gunning for Fairey, arguing that he’s not just a bad artist, but not an artist at all.

We're Just Sayin
Erich Salomon, who was one of the inventors of modern reportage (there were no books, classes, or online discussion groups to take advantage of, he simply DID it on his own) owned not only the cameras, but the will and inventiveness to use them.

Photographer Glen E. Friedman in Conversation (and Collaboration) with Shepard Fairey
Earlier this week, we aired a Boing Boing video episode in which we visited Shepard Fairey’s gallery in LA, and spoke with him about the most well-known of his works, the Obama poster. That episode was shot as another artist’s work was being hung on the walls: legendary punk / hiphop / skate culture photographer Glen E. Friedman. Together, Shepard and Glen were also working on a collaboration together that brings Shep’s visual style together with some of Glen’s most iconic images.

Canon Professional Network – Steve Winter
When Steve Winter’s name was read out as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008 at a gala at London’s Natural History Museum in November 2008 it was the culmination of a dream that began when he was a boy in Fort Wayne, Indiana. “From the time I was eight years old,” Steve reveals, “all I ever wanted to be was a National Geographic photographer. I always saw the magazine and watched National Geographic television specials and became fascinated by the great world out there, by all the other cultures and people.” He adds, ironically: “But never in a million years did I ever think I would end up photographing animals.” CPN’s John McDermott spoke to him about his career and his photographic pursuit of snow leopards.

The Mystery Deepens
Oh dear. After my scoop “identifying” the source photograph and photographer of Shepard Fairey’s iconic HOPE poster, Purchase College digital photography teacher Nathan Lunstrum came up with a different image that appears to be a better and less convoluted match.
