  • Suit Accuses Hartford Courant of Plagiarism (Published 2009)

    A lawsuit cites 11 Hartford Courant articles it says were largely taken from The Journal Inquirer.

    Newspapers have tried many ways to cover the news with dwindling resources: dropping certain topics, having people do double duty, using more wire service work. Routine plagiarism is not usually an option, but a lawsuit contends that it was for a while at The Hartford Courant.

    In a time where coverage of Mexico and Guatemala by the mass media is saturated with crime and despair an amazing culture and vibrant people people still remain.  In my travels I searched for my ideal Latin America, a land with an indescribable energy in the air, a land of music, art, ritual, life, and celebrated death.  What I found in my personal journey was a place where nostalgia collides with the surreal and a forgotten magic still exists.

    W. Eugene Smith was one of the greatest photojournalists of the 20th Century, but I think he would probably have a hard time if he was still alive and decided to enter World Press Photo, which just decreed that only “retouching which conforms to currently accepted standards in the industry is allowed.”

    This issue of 100Eyes is dedicated to an American Dream, although a dream a bit darker, and perhaps vague. The term itself is refracted through the images in the magazine, having a different meaning as the images evolve, and the meaning of the language changes as do the pictures themselves. In some places the dream appears to be a nightmare, in others simply a facade, and in other simply an illusion. Once thought to be a family and a home in a suburban community, the American Dream now is perhaps more about fame, as Caleb Cole’s series of self-portraits asks questions about who we are, and of course, who we want to be.

    Granted, this isn’t such a terrible thing. We’ve spent many fun hours adding vignettes and blurred backgrounds to the spontaneous on-the-street images we captured with our iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera. (So the iPhone 3Gs has a 3MP camera. Big whoop.)

    After a while though, these apps get kind of boring and don’t do a lot to help your career as a photographer. There are, however, a few photo apps out there that seem to have the pro in mind. We’ve chosen the cream of the crop in our “Top Ten iPhone Apps for Photographers” list below.

    I was in my early 20’s the first time I went to the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. Times were different – we shot film, jobs were available, newspapers were robust, and my hair weave was rocking. Fast forward 15 years – film is almost obsolete, newspapers are hurting and my weave – well, lets pretend it never happened.

    This report is based on my use of the 645DF in Death Valley, comments and feedback from the other thirty attendees and instructors, and my own continuing tests and shooting once I returned from our Death Valley shoot. And, to answer the inevitable question up front – yes – I have ordered a DF camera upgrade based on this experience.

  • MarsEdit 2.4 – Red Sweater Blog

    As an indie software developer, one of the biggest challenges I face is keeping a schedule. A real schedule that means I’ll actually ship software every so often. When you work for somebody else, there’s usually somebody in charge of making sure that you stick to a schedule. These people usually have little concern for […]
