Today, March 22nd, is recognized by the United Nations Water Group as “World Water Day”, this year’s theme being “Clean Water
for a Healthy World”. Although we live on a water-covered planet, only 1% of the world’s water is available for human use, the re
Contractually speaking, companies have found a number of ways to circumnavigate having to pay photographers for additional use of their images. In the ugliest instances, they also manage benefit by reselling the photographer’s images without any further compensation to the photographer. Although there are a number of ways for this to occur, one of the most commonly recognized forms of a ‘rights grab’ happens by way of a ‘Work For Hire’ clause.

A new sensor technology promises to make cellphone cameras good enough to use for wedding photos. InVisage Technologies, a Menlo Park, California, company, has developed an image sensor using quantum dots instead of silicon. The company claims its technol
Building links to your website is, by far, the most effective way to enhance your SEO. Each link represents an “endorsement” and the number of links partially influences how much of your website will be indexed by the search engines, and where you appear in search results.
Wow. What an experience. A little over a month ago, I was an Olympic Virgin.
The Vancouver Olympics was my first. A columnist, reporter and myself were charged with covering the entire 2010 Winter Games from Opening to Closing Ceremonies -with as much of a local angle as possible.
It’s surprising that it’s taken this long for someone to create a universal (well – almost universal) photographer’s viewfinder application for the iPhone. It has a built-in camera, as well as a large, bright, and sharp screen. Everything that one needs to turn it into viewfinder.
‘Today, how we divide our time and do our work and get paid for it has virtually no connection to how things worked for those who started out a decade or two before us.’
Bill Taub, a self-taught NASA photographer whose pictures recorded the country’s major aeronautics and space-flight events from 1958 to 1975, including the missions that sent the first astronauts into orbit and onto the moon, died Feb. 20 at Doctors Community Hospital in Lanham, Md.
I don’t know if I need to say much more than that for people to already start construct a pre-conceived idea of what it is. I got a rare opportunity to go inside Scientology for The New York Times a few months back with reporter Laurie Goodstein for her story that ran last week. To be honest, I was just as curious as anyone of you out there. I jumped at the chance for the special “access.”
American newspapers, often squeamish when it comes to running disturbing images, overcame their inhibitions after the Haitian earthquake. Journalists say powerful, graphic photographs made clear the depth of the tragedy and fostered support for rebuilding the devastated island nation. But to some, the deluge of images of naked corpses and severed body parts was insensitive and dehumanizing.
Those pictures were taken from a German soap opera (click on image for larger view): (Thanks Mathias) Related posts: Breaking news: Leica M9 and Leica X1 pictures leaked Black Thumbs Up CSEP-2 now available for the black Leica X1 Leica D-Lux 5, V-Lux 2 an
Photo by discarted The Christian Science Monitor turns its focus on photographers rights this week, reporting on the ongoing clash between police and the photographers who shoot them. CSM says that…
Agh, we’ve lost Peter Gowland. I just heard. Glamor photographer, camera inventor, all-around photographic raconteur, a fixture on the scene. I’d like to take this opportunity to re-publish a brief piece that our friend Oren Grad wrote for this site…
I took my first trip to Las Vegas last week. I wasn’t the least bit surprised to discover it wasn’t my cup of tea. The place has a couple redeeming qualities in my eyes, like a landscape that is breathtaking not too far (photos of the desert to follow) and Elvis texting in a pink car, but you have to look closely, past the naked women tossed on damp sidewalks and the smoke-filled casinos to find them.
Those were the first words out of Chicago Tribune staffer Nuccio DiNuzzo’s mouth when we met before the USA – China women’s ice hockey game. Many of us there planned to leave that game early, and go from UBC Thunderbird Arena to Pacific Coliseum for the figure skating pairs short program.
