MINI FUNDNG -- Crowdfunding Your Photography Project – A.M.: ”A cottage industry of "crowdfunding" has come of age to help creative artists (or almost anyone for that matter) pitch an idea online and solicit funding from family, friends and strangers. Kickstarter, Emphas.is and IndieGoGo are a few that we've profiled in our latest guide Crowdfunding Your Photography Project. We interviewed eight different photographers who have used crowdfunding successfully and not so successfully. Download Crowdfunding Your Photography Project for free.

THE WEB AS A SOURCE OF INCOME -- S.B.: “It’s rare that I actually touch a newspaper these days. We get our news from other sources, like cable-TV and the Internet so newspaper photographers are a rapidly disappearing breed. Along with many magazines, the Web hosts plenty of publications that use professional photography. It’s more competitive than ever, but there is the potential for income there.
