CLICK NOTE: Love to see a great photo site improved by design. This one really needed it. The old site was like a maze, though one well worth wandering.

Xark!: The betrayal of the Fourth Estate:
The tarnish on the halo newspaper execs have spent so much time polishing isn’t just their unwillingness to acknowledge their own limitations and failures. It’s how they treat their people. The betrayal of the Fourth Estate contract by newspaper management has played a huge role in their impending doom. It may be the one thing that guarantees their slide into irrelevancy.
Why? Because when the companies need their best and brightest to pull together, to help work smarter and better, they’ve got … nothing. Many of the best and brightest have moved on because they can. Or they were the first out the door in layoffs. Those left feel trapped, bitter and betrayed. No pay raises. Furloughs. “Doing more with less.” Not exactly a prescription for an ailing industry.

Marina Black – versts | burn magazine:
I came to Canada at the age of 28, not knowing a word of English. I never felt comfortable expressing myself in this language. However, photography has given me a voice. The camera has allowed me to “listen to” and re-examine, in their photographic retelling, my Russian memories, to sail back into the world that had seemed lost to me while I struggled with my new life and new identity in Canada.
