Humpf! Humbug! Balderdash! They want to steal your photographic work and make money on it. Make them pay royalties for your work. No scab labor!

Watch all the wannabes in need of attention and especially in need of validation. I suspect most of them will be wearing a Leica

Why do you say Leica when it is much more likely to be the run of the mill Nikon or Canon digital camera or any other generic digital camera. Don't you now but your biases are showing. By the way, I do not own nor have I ever owned a Leica.

Sirius, I thought NB23 was right in that photo-journalistic shots could only be taken on a Leica. Is this not the case?

Photographer and the Elevator Operator...(Plagerized from here : http://www.mowreyelevator.com/industry-updates/extinction-elevator-operators/)

Like many other industries, technology and electronics would prove to be the demise of the photographer. Today, we take for granted that we can simply push a button for the photograph we want, the phone will click and our vision will be instantly captured. Not so back then. It took a lot more work, which is why a photographer was needed. It wasn’t always easy, as the photographer had to open and close the shutter, control the aperture, focus, load and unload the film, process the film and print the picture.

But perhaps even more valuable than all that was the personal touch photographers gave their subject matter. They proved to be a valuable public relations tool to the industry for which they worked, offering a personal artistic interpretation for their clients, guests, customers and residents.

By the 2010s, many of the country’s photographers have replaced by cell-phone totting social media users, leaving thousands out of work. Today, some photographers do remain, for historic relevance or novelty. Many large cities such as New York still have photographers as a throwback to time before the dark ages of social media.

Another jerk with a Leica?

 

[Saganich]

I for one am good with being in the historic novelty category...with several Leicas, AGFA folders, Rolleiflex's and iPhones at my feet day or night.

Do you extend that advice for sharing images on Photrio also, which allows Sean to generate revenue? Both ICoP and Photrio share images on Instagram with permission from photographers, without paying them.

No I am referring to GWCs who give it away to get 15 nanoseconds of fame in television. They put freelance photographers out of business.

 

[Pieter12]

? Television? ICP is posting the images on Instagram. As do many photographers and institutions. I don't think they are generating any revenue from the endeavor, just showcasing concerned photography. At least it seems to be curated, unlike other calls for photo postings on some sites.
