Digital Photographers, Welcome Back to 1999 | PixSylated | Digital Photography, Canon Flash, Shooting Tethered

by mozkart
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. Check out MagazineDeathPool if you’re not already a regular reader. Now is not be the time to launch a career as a magazine shooter.

Shadows from Another Place | NT2

by karlcow

Le projet «Shadows from Another Place» propose à l'internaute de prendre conscience des répercussions des bombardements effectués par l'armée américaine en Irak, en mai 2003. Les coordonnées GPS de ces sites irakiens ont été répertoriés et transposés sur une carte de la ville de San Francisco. Des photos ont été prises sur ces lieux américains qui se révèlent être des lieux publics. Cette oeuvre engagée permet de déplacer les lieux de violence, de les poser dans l'espace occidental et d'en dégager les répercussions possibles sur un espace donné. «Cherry Blossoms», de l'artiste Alyssa Wright, propose une approche similaire sous forme de performance dans la ville de Boston

Bits Of Destruction Hit the Book Publishing Business: Part 1

by karlcow

One massive wave crashing down is confusing enough. But when three crash at the same time, even seeing what's going on (let alone predicting how things will play out) becomes really difficult. These three big new waves are:

1. The digitization of print books by Google Book Search.

2. Increasing consumer acceptance of e-books, mostly because of the Kindle.

3. Print on demand.
