E 'for a long time since I updated the web log of photojournalists . We do Today, after the football championship is almost over, a new government is about to take shape, a new natural disaster has struck another part of the world That in itself did not need a hurricane bringing new and news from the world of visual information.
We have first the good news:
Evandro inept photographer Americana Zuma Press had a mention of honor at BOP 2008 edition, with a photo taken in Rome during a protest of an African woman who set herself on fire in front of everyone to express his dissent against the government of his country.
Bilal Hussein photographer 's Associated Press arrested by American soldiers in Iraq on charges of being an infiltration of enemy forces, was released from prison after 2 years in prison.
On May 20 at the Centro Luigi Di Sarro in Rome and will be on display until June 10 the exhibition "Agenda: What to Do" photographs Tony Gentile.
Having spent the good news, although we are sure there are still, let the bad, bad news.
actually is an alleged bad news and here we would like to find confirmation of what has come to our knowledge.
It is rumored that some agency (we reserve the right to name names as soon as we confirm the veracity of the facts) presents some of the photos to newspapers (we reserve the right to name names as soon as we confirm the veracity of the facts).
From what we know it is a real exchange of favors, that the newspaper has the right to take free of charge from the desk of this agency, a number of photos in exchange for more photos or pay any service commissioned.
Now, as the owner of this agency is a photographer known, and prides itself on not giving material to anyone who is critical and we think that besides being a great lack of consistency, this is also a great lack of respect from colleagues and a great lack of respect for the competition. Unfair competition, which does not enrich anyone, but especially the photographer that ruin the market more than it already is and the efforts of those who would work honestly and with integrity.
How many of you are aware of stories like that? If you agree, because not denounce these attitudes to the union or the order?
await comments.
