rogue portrait photographer shunned, applauded

During a portrait shoot for The Atlantic Monthly of Senator John McCain, Jill Greenberg snapped some images of the presidential candidate for later alteration.  Personally, I think this was a hilarious and courageous move.  After all, a photographer owns their work regardless of who they are working for.  On the other hand, she may have ruined her own career and potentially damaged the image of other portrait photographers.  There is an article about this at The Online Photographer.  Check out Jill’s website.

Photo Submission Rule #8

This just cracked me up.

NO Downstairs Nudity

JPG is okay with artful nudes, but we do not allow photos where the genitalia region is visible or photos that are explicitly pornographic. (That’s “or”… we know the two aren’t synonymous.) As a general guideline — no penises, no vaginas, and nothing in that immediate vicinity — period.

If I wire these UPSs right I could have a hybrid. Finally found somebody who will take them. *sigh*

My xD just doesn’t have as much pickup with 400lbs worth of battery backups in it.

Just got rear-ended.  No damage to person or property.
