Mary Ellen Mark talks to Alison Stieven-Taylor
“Magazines are not interested in work that is very personal. They want work that can be changed with a grey or blue filter in post-production. If young photographers are interested in what I was, in telling stories, they have to pursue that. Don’t let technology push you around”.

One year after 28 Sun-Times photojournalists were laid off, where are they now?
Most of them have landed on their feet, according to email and phone interviews with many of the photographers. While they were sometimes hesitant to dwell on the layoffs, the former Sun-Times staffers filled me in on how their lives — and those of the photographers I couldn’t reach — have changed since May 30, 2013.

You Just Never Know…
You Just Never Know… – Assignment Chicago
you’d be surprised at how challenging it can be – to avoid the temptation to cut bait and move on to the next assignment, to keep from becoming too comfortable or to maintain an attitude of excellence when “good enough” is the bottom line.

How small screens impact photojournalism — and tips for adapting
Photos are a different story. It’s difficult to feel absorbed in a photo on a device with a 4-inch screen. Zooming in and exploring a photo bit by bit is no way to appreciate the photographer’s vision.

Jean-François Leroy- If only I were dreaming
One news magazine publishing Arab Spring reports has been paying 58 eurocents a photo. How much is it for a photo of the Berlin Wall coming down? Just 88 euro cents. And so it goes on.
The photographer is furious! Who wouldn’t be? “My photos aren’t even worth the price of a condom!” -

Instagram – a platform for professionals?
Instagram – a platform for professionals?
Two amazing pictures showed up on my screen over the past few days. The first was from Myanmar, where a Rohingya Muslim woman was pictured holding her malnourished twins. The second captured a deadly explosion in Iraq.

Last question: Would you “like” a picture of malnourished babies in Myanmar?
