Hippolyte Bayard: Photographic noise →
Found via Conscientious. Interesting too how this — in the age of the proliferation of digital media — applies to a lot of things. Like (in my case since I work in this field) magazines & the printed medium. What will happen when these analogue stuff cease to exist? Will it really be a good thing? For printed matter, they say it would benefit the environment since paper still...

Jeff Mermelstein's All-Access Fashion Week... →
“Photojournalist Jeff Mermelstein finds his inspiration on the streets—and not typically on the streets outside of fashion shows. His interest is in the unscripted, which is exactly why we sent him out to photograph fashion month in New York, Milan, and Paris, when everything is so carefully planned.”

A Photographer's Legacy Tarnished: Joe O'Donnell →
Not new, but interesting department: stumbled across this strange & sad tale about a photog who took credit for some images which he didn’t take. He’s long since passed away — and it was an obit for him that led to this can of worms being opened — so there’s really no explaining why he did what he did. Just find it ironic that he dealt with photojournalism,...

: A Critique on Critiques. →
chrishahn via photographsonthebrain:
However, this is not to say I am beyond reproach. I’ll admit that I used to be that guy. I was the one who hated on any picture someone uploaded to a Facebook album entitled “Photography” and hated on anybody I saw with their two thousand dollar camera set to “auto”. Slowly I realized I was merely putting down others to make myself feel better. Who am I...

“I know that goes against that “It’s not about the money, I tell stories for the people I cover and stories I tell.” That’s great if you can eat off of that passion, but sincerely, you do more justice finding clients to pay for your work and publish it to get the work out there to the eyes that need to see it.”

John Soeder to Don Henley (about Hotel California's lyrics): On "Hotel California," you sing: "So I called up the captain / 'Please bring me my wine' / He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.'" I realize I'm probably not the first to bring this to your attention, but wine isn't a spirit. Wine is fermented; spirits are distilled. Do you regret that lyric?
Don Henley: "Thanks for the tutorial and, no, you're not the first to bring this to my attention—and you're not the first to completely misinterpret the lyric and miss the metaphor... But that line in the song has little or nothing to do with alcoholic beverages. It's a sociopolitical statement. My only regret would be having to explain it in detail to you, which would defeat the purpose of using literary devices in songwriting and lower the discussion to some silly and irrelevant argument about chemical processes."

“To never follow a dream because you don’t think you’re good enough or don’t have the skills, or knowledge, or experience is a waste.”

In Online Journalism, Burnout Starts Younger →
soupsoup:
Such is the state of the media business these days: frantic and fatigued. Young journalists who once dreamed of trotting the globe in pursuit of a story are instead shackled to their computers, where they try to eke out a fresh thought or be first to report even the smallest nugget of news — anything that will impress Google algorithms and draw readers their way.
