Here is the crux of the issue: Mr. Eggleston earns more money by the designation of the limited edition. The individual who buys the art has to pay more. So the artist directly benefits from that. It is the artist’s choice, and you can’t change the rules in the middle of the game

how many perfectly exposed black and white vistas of snow-capped peaks or rivers snaking into the background do we need to see? Yes, nature is majestic. We get it. Saint Ansel showed us, and he did it better than you ever will, so move on already or we’ll score your performance as a negative.

Is Instagram’s social network dumbing down photography?
Richard Koci Hernandez, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, made it clear that he doesn’t believe in the tyranny of the Like button. But he, too, said he worries that “people who have a real passion for photography, who love photography, are putting their photographs out into the world and are not feeling validated.”

GARRY WINOGRAND: “Standing on the Corner – Reflections Upon Garry Winogrand’s Photographic Gaze – Mirror of Self or World? Pt. I” (1991)
“Standing on the Corner – Reflections Upon Garry Winogrand’s Photographic Gaze – Mirror of Self or World? Pt. I” (1991)
New Mexico, 1957 (Figure 13)
Part IBy Carl Chiarenza
Originally Published in IMAGE Magazine: Journal of Photography and Motion Pictures of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House, Volume 34,
Number 3–4, Fall–Winter, 1991There is no denying the force, the influence, the dominance of Winogrand’s presence during a critical time in the histories of both photography and America. There is no denying that he contributed mightily to important changes in how we view significant aspects of the relationships between the photographic medium and life in American society. Without question his work has had, and continues to have, a major influence on younger male photographers. One might even say that Winogrand invented a new form of “street photography,” a form that has transformed our view of our public selves, or, at least, has made us more conscious of our view of our public selves. A curious and perhaps relevant observation is the fact that “street photography” has been almost exclusively the domain of male photographers (with such very important exceptions as Helen Levitt and Lisette Model). In turning the documentary idea emphatically inward upon himself, while still turning the documentary camera outward upon the world, Winogrand forced the surfacing of new knowledge about both his reality and ours.

How do you create long form visual narratives?
In the end, if what you produce has the breadth and depth, you can present it any way you want. And if you do it right, that body of work will have many legs. It could be the best thing you’ve ever done as a photographer.

What it Takes to be a National Geographic Photographer By Kent Kobersteen
While I cannot speak for the leadership of the Magazine today, I think there are several required attributes that are constant – they’re the same today as they were when I was Director of Photography, and earlier.
Those attributes are intellect, passion, maturity and drive.

me, Me, ME, ME! (the perils of publication). — duckrabbit
One of the delights of having your photographic work ‘out there’, is having it seen. Unfortunately most of the time…
Dear Sir,
I noticed in the xxxxx Ski supplement to the xxxxx News, an image showing the piste in xxxxxx Ski Area with various skiers coming down and in the middle a very noticeable skier wearing a bright red ski suit.
On closer inspection I noted this individual is me, and no permission was sought nor given for this. I have consulted my solicitor and he has advised me to write to you to ask for payment.

Photography and Doubt
In photography, trust and doubt are like yin and yang: You cannot have one without the other, you have to balance one against the other. Trust and doubt exist in a complex relationship. They don’t just have to balance each other, they also have to drive each other.
