7 July, 2008 - The Clouds Are Falling

Vincent Laforet, an ex-New York Times photojournalist, is one of the top photographers working in the US today. He has online an essay titled The Cloud is Falling, which examines the state of the photographic marketplace, stills / video convergence, and a number of other salient topics. This is a must read for anyone who makes their living doing photography.

Even scarier, for Americans at least, is a piece on PhotoRights.org titled 42 days and hand over your flashcard. We all know how photographers rights are being impinged upon worldwide, but this is completely Orwellian.

Hope you've had a pleasant weekend.
