Why the value of still images is collapsing It’s that old supply-and-demand thing. The supply of digital images is way, way up. At the same time, advertising in magazines and newspapers is sinking. If you want to continue earning a living at something you already do, it’s helpful if your trade is difficult to do and expensive to get started. Photography during the film-era was this way. Every time I pushed the shutter-button a couple of bucks flew out the window. Now the cost of getting into the pro photography game is virtually nothing (aside from the cost of the camera, the computer, the software, the training… still a relatively low investment for what you’re able to accomplish). I’m grateful that HDSLR cinematography is expensive and problematic right now. The Trib Is Dead. Long Live The Trib. For several generations, ads in magazines and newspapers were the leading consumer of commercial stills. Sorry Charlie, those days are gone. Today advertisers are increasingly moving their efforts over to web-based campaigns. It’s not personal. It’s demographics. OK. So that means that it is personal. The web, with it’s ability to provide instantaneous feedback to advertisers enables those spending the ad bucks to target their message exactly where it needs to be within minutes. For an ad placed in the wrong magazine, the response time is measured in weeks or months. Print advertising is plummeting (stats here). It’s not the economy, stupid. It’s the medium.

Apprenez à lire un dessin, analphabètes crétins! Comme s’il était question de se foutre de la gueule des victimes! Il s’agit de se foutre de la gueule de la mort! Il s’agit de tourner en dérision la manière dont nos confrères se repaissent du malheur des victimes d’un fait divers géant.

"And, of course, that is what all of this is - all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs - that song, endlesly reincarnated - born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 - same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness." -- Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather

Cette fois-ci, c'est certain, Siné ne risque pas d'être taxé d'antisémitisme. On y a cru, avec tout ce ramdam, à Siné-Hebdo, on l'a attendu, on s'est précipité, on l'a acheté à la première heure : c'était l'anti-Charlie Hebdo, qu'ils disaient ! On n'allait pas rater ça! On a ouvert le journal, enthousiastes, et là... et là, une drôle d'odeur de merde nous est montée au nez.

Les médias français, aujourd’hui, c’est quelques noms : Lagardère, Bouygues, Dassault, Arnault, Pinault, Bolloré. Ces six-là, qui ont mis le nain énervé au pouvoir et soutiendront son fils dans 9 ans, contrôlent quasiment tous les médias français. Reste quelques ilots d’expression autre, perdus dans l’océan de pensée unique à l’usage des veaux, et parmi ces ilots, Charlie, journal satirique pour étudiants en tosh et quinquas nostalgiques.
