Rob,

I ran across your blog by accident while looking at the the NYTimes website for photo editors. I enjoyed reading your inspiring story. Growth and value issues we all can relate to a some point in time.

Best of luck.

Hi Rob-
Your blog totally inspires me to go on with my blog that is just beginning to take shape. I too had the good fortune of getting to work with Hannah McCoughey and at Rolling Stone when she was working under the great Fred Woodward ……… back then I was a frustrated photographer working as a photo researcher. I’m glad I took the leap courage to be what I always knew I should be. The experience I got from working with in the walls of such places like The New Yorker and Rolling Stone was invaluable. Having that training from the other side gave me knowledge that I couldn’t have found any where else. We had a lot of fun along the way as well. Thanks Rob for putting yourself out there, I visit your blog regularly. Come visit my site and lets blog on!

Dear Rob,
I was researching photographer blogs when I came across your profile – you’re lucky to have worked in so many great places and been brave enough to not rest on your laurels.
In case it interests you, I came across some interviews with other photographers that I thought I might share:

… I know I’ve said it elsewhere, but I just have to say it again … this is a GREAT BLOG. Keep up the good work.

Durango is a curious choice as a ‘destination’. Spent several days there after my car broke down in the desert … I always preferred ‘Alma’ up in the hills … Check it out if roaming. Very conducive to FAMILY life and living …

Best to you.

Funny thing. The minute Zoozoom send an email stating they are following my twitter updates I found yours.

After reading your blogs, I know exactly what you went through. There’s absolutely no freshness. Even in the retail business.

Often while working on major campaigns, I asked myself if this was meant to be. Well, tomorrow will be my last day.

I’m too pursuing new ideas in the digital media. Also continue to advance my passion for design, photography & film. First task is two shopping cart interface with scriptaculous (javascript).

I hope you do well with your future. Looking forward to read more of your blogs.

I just came across your blog by accident – but then there ARE no accidents! I’ve been in THE BUSINESS of photography for 25 years. Twenty five years in the trenches; inventing and reinventing. What a ride! I moved to NYC from the Boston area about 3 months ago. My kids are grown and out on their own, and this is my opportunity to experience the epicenter. I’ve had 1 foot on the NYC side of the fence for years, traveling back and forth (and all over) following the work that came my way. My reps are in NYC. I moved here because I’ve been working on a personal project for a couple of years and I felt that putting myself in the thick of it would create a opportunity to investigate the possibility of getting a grant in order to comfortably pursue my project. My work is stronger, more mature and more passionate than it has ever been. I have a trove of imagery that casts a wide net; trained in the studio with film, lighting and large format, I am grateful for my baseline. I cannot imagine jumping into the flow of this profession without the knowledge and basic understanding of the tools that have preceded digital. Now that I’ve landed here, I sense a pervasive fear within our culture due to the transition that has obviously begun. Work flow is tight, and I am trying to find ways to stand back and understand where the focus and the flow will be once we shift and rebalance. I am trying to find a way to stay a float and be true to the joy of my chosen field and continue to work and evolve my image making. If you go to my web site, the work you will see is commercial – mostly shot for assignments and advertising. My personal work is not there. I have shown a few pieces of this new work in group shows in NY. Four pieces have sold. But my desire is to develop a strong series, continue to expand the vision, and hire a curator to help move it forward. When I read about Women in Photography, and I am not part of the conversation, it feels as though I should be. I have so much to say. So much insight to offer. I have brought two daughters up as a single parent in this profession – nuts, but so totally awesome for all of us. I don’t know exactly why I’m telling you all this, except to say, it is unusual to have a forum to express myself as a creative person to another who understands the depth of the joy and the struggle. Hope you’re life is going well. Sounds like you’ve made some heartfelt choices. Hope to hear from you. Susie

For someone on page 2 of a 300 page book “Becoming a professional photographer”, As in.. I am new. This is a great blog to visit. Many of us share the same hobbies, dreams and aspirations. It is comforting to know there are others out there so discontent with life that it is time to make a change and try a new path. To new beginnings… good luck.

Oh, and I should have mentioned the word about the Christian Science Monitor got out in our photog community. I was a regional correspondent for them out of New Orleans, 2000-2004.

Guess I should blog about it. But it appeared there were out of money for free-lance work from the South after the free-lance correspondent was kidnapped in Baghdad.

Dear rob,

your about me is even more inspiring then your blog. I recently did the same from the BBC. Everyone said as I was mad but being able to pick up the kids from school just suddenly seemed a lot more important. Congratulations on the success of your blog and the debate that it generates … a model of public service.

Benjamin

p.s. perhaps you’d have a look at our website. http://www.duckrabbit.info. We’re the only ones in the UK trying to make a go of multimedia in a kind of Media Storm way (although we’re not really interested in emulating the way their work is produced, you won’t ever find us filming photographers!) I’m slowly trying to get the BBC to take this kind of work seriously. They could provide an amazing portal and platform for image driven storytelling but are yet to fully engage. You Americans are so far ahead of us its sickening!

Hi Rob

I’m an Irish photographer back home after a 5 years in OZ.
I’m now totally disillusioned with the industry here in Ireland, no more staff jobs here either plus papers and magazines aren’t paying freelancers to shoot. So where does that leave me?????
By the way I’m looking to get a new website and I’m leaning towards APhotoFolio.com what can you do for me

Yo homeboy:

I was wondering what happened to you. Rising out the ashes to baptize himself in the refreshing wonders of the outdoor arena.(I’m not really sure what means.) Glad to hear that you’re well. Just got back from cuba doing some personal work; would love to share.

all the best,
