The Unknown Snapper

freelance photojournalist, documentary photographer and student

A few excellent links

leave a comment »

As I’m off out to run around running chores, this seems like an easier way to publish a few links* than trying to retweet them all**.

A very well written (as one would expect) article by Michael Kamber on the current world of photojournalism over at BBC viewfinder.

With the industry still in flux, Chip Litherland has compiled a blog post on the 100 things we all still love about photojournalism.

Over at PDN Eamonn McCabe discusses his selection of pictures to represent the last decade.

Student protests:

One blog post by Leon Neal about covering last weeks student protest for AFP.

And another by Andrew Winning on the same protest, but working for Reuters.

And last, but not least, more press related copyright shenanigans with some getting their fingers burnt for taking what isn’t theirs:

The BJP on the Daily Mail and copyright infringement problems (again) though this time it may cost them £1,000,000.

Enjoy!

*I have a bad habit of clicking on links, leaving the tab open and reading them when I have a free second.  I don’t have many free seconds so they sometimes build up and I don’t always retweet them.

**Think of this as a quick Readers Digest type post, but without obligation to subscribe to a lot of books, some with stories in you’ll never read.  However, the downside of this is that when people visit, you won’t be able to give off the impression that you’re well read by allowing them to take in the rows of faux leather bound volumes adorning the shelves either side of your faux granite fireplace.***

*** This is non-functioning and contains one of those 80s electric fires with those spinny bits that made it looking like it had some sort of ‘flames’; though we all know you’re not fooling anyone and when we leave we all take the Michael when you close the door.
