CATCHIN’ UP -- Facebook Photos Leave Flickr, Picasa Way Behind. Sometimes, the sheer size of something overwhelms you, the point in question – Facebook. What started off as a social networking website, Facebook now has more photos on it than any other dedicated photo sharing website! According to comScore, Facebook is growing at three times the speed of top photo websites. It is not customary to compare a social networking site and a photo sharing site, but this has become unavoidable in this case. SOURCE: Rohit Bhat http://www.watblog.com/2010/07/12/facebook-photos-leave-flickr-picasa-way-behind/
TAKEAWAY: Because this is an important news item for you, I’ve repeated it here in the TRENDS section.

WHO’S WATCHING ? On-line privacy. Facebook's under fire for everything from its labyrinth of confusing privacy settings to apparently banning users who want to share. Google inadvertently collected data transmitted on open Wi-Fi networks its Street View cars drove by. People search engines like Spokeo make your photo, salary, and home address accessible at the press of a button.

TAKEAWAY: O.K. class. What is missing? What does it still need? Answer from the back of the room: "It's missing a symbol, and family interaction with that symbol..."
Instructor: "Please explain."
Student: "The symbol could be a plastic shovel and the family could be building a sand castle. Or the symbol could be a telescope and the kids could be taking turns viewing the sailing ship or something out on the horizon."
Instructor: "You've got it. You've got a clean background, persons, a symbol, and involvement with that symbol. You're picture now has dimension. Your viewing public can relate to your editorial stock photo.

PICK A SPECIALTY YOU LOVE -- Why You Should Market Yourself as a Specialist - Even If You're a Generalist - If you portray yourself as a generalist - by defining your talents broadly and mixing many types of photography on your Web site - you may well be viewed as a jack of all trades, but a master of none.
http://rising.blackstar.com/why-to-market-yourself-as-a-specialist-even-if-youre-a-generalist.html
TAKEAWAY: Technology and science today make the renaissance man of the last century obsolete. Consumers today would prefer the specialist in any field, medicine, law, education, etc. The specialist can serve not only as a photographer but as a consultant to publishers.
The romance of the do-it-all photographer is fading.
Specialization might sound like a boring proposition, but it needn’t be if you love the area you choose to specialize in – - horses, railroads, childhood education, antique airplanes, motorcycles. The photo world is getting bigger, and so are the specialization markets. -RE

IS FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY ART? Charlie Finch: Reading the laudatory obituaries of Irving Penn (1917-2009), I asked myself why the work of this universally celebrated master always left me cold and came to the conclusion that it was because of fashion.
Penn himself seemed to chafe at his high status in the fashion world, lensing common objects, native peoples and ordinary people until the end of his life. Nevertheless, as with Avedon, there was always something chilly and removed about Penn's work. I put this to the artificiality, redundance and inauthenticity of the fashion world. One copy of Vogue resembles any other and particularly galling is the habit of fashion to dumbly look back on past trends and trendsetters and recycle them. SOURCE: Charlie Finch ART NEWS

SOME MATURITY SIGNS. -- You're a Real Photographer Now. In a day and age when anyone with an iPhone or a Flickr account can call themselves a photographer, it can be a little difficult to figure out when you've separated yourself from the pack to become a real photographer. But here are 21 clues that you've crossed the threshold from pretender to contender: SOURCE: PETER PHUN BLACK STAR RISING

TAKEAWAY: My addition: If you are a freelance stock photographer, when you come back from a shoot, you don't scratch your head and ask, "Now where can I sell these pictures?" Instead, you check with your target market photobuyers before you go out and find out their photo needs. This approach makes your accountant smile. -RE

RETHINKING TAKING PHOTOS IN MUSEUMS. – Like many museums, EMP/SFM (Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum) has had a strict no-photograph rule since it opened in 2000. Museums are starting to rethink their “no-photos” policy. But as more people take pictures from cell phones and small digital cameras and share them online, that rule has become almost impossible to enforce. http://bit.ly/1Hc4Yi

WAY OF THE FUTURE. Photo world begins grappling with video SLRs. The photography world is beginning to adapt to a new phase in the marriage of cameras and computing technology: the arrival of SLRs that can shoot not just still images, but video too.
The change began with the arrival of image sensors, the light-sensitive microchips that replaced film. Now, two new SLRs--Nikon's D90 and Canon's EOS 5D Mark II--are taking another step away from the film paradigm, following in the footsteps of point-and-shoot cameras by recording continuous video and not just still images. Hardware, software, Web sites, and perhaps most of all, technique all must catch up to the new technology. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-10111474-39.html

THE CROWD PREVAILS. -- Newspapers Consider Giving Up the Associated Press - Editor & Publisher reports that the Tribune company has given a two-year cancellation
notice to the Associated Press. Tribune owns nine newspapers that rely on the AP for news content.
http://www.pdnpulse.com/2008/10/newspapers-cons.html


VIDEO: CENTER STAGE. -- Get ready for change. Have your video camewra ready. Tastes are changing. Photography meets videography as camera technology advances. The latest trend in high-end digital cameras represents the latest example of convergence; in this case it is all about still and video cameras becoming one and the same. The impact on the pro photographer is far from insignificant. The Digital SLR (Single Lens Reflex Camera = very good camera, pro quality) market is driven by the publishing industry. Lots of different people use DSLRs but more cameras are sold to photographers for newspapers and magazines than any other use.
An interesting phenomenon is occurring in this market; the publishers are universally seeing falling numbers in news-stand and subscription sales, and increasing numbers of visitors to their web sites.
People visiting web sites are interested in seeing richer media than it is possible to deliver in papers or magazines. Simple video, a la YouTube, is the order of the day. So editors are beginning to ask their photo journalists to start to provide video clips along with their photos. http://www.canada.com/northshorenews/news/home/story.html?id=03879835-68df-4bc0-8ca2-276adba744a9

Those gosh darn #$#$#;@!!#;$# gas prices !

But wait… here’s an initiative that
I hope will help out on the high cost
of gas these days.

No doubt the escalating gas prices are impacting just how often you feel you can get out and about to get the photos you want.

“Every little bit helps,” goes the adage, and here at PhotoSource International we’re hoping to contribute a bit by offering lower prices on subscriptions to our marketletters during the month of August.

Photographers can translate these savings into dollars at the gas pump, and at the same time open the door for more contacts and sales leads resulting in extra income, all adding up to less curtailment of travels to photo shoots.

For the month of August, annual subscriptions or extensions to the PhotoDaily and the weekly PhotoLetter marketletters can be had for a 25% discount.

Note: Get in on this quick (we may be getting too many orders at this price!) before our accountant changes his mind!
