Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:56:09 +0000 http://aphotoeditor.com/?p=871#comment-26731 I just looked at Newsweek's Olympic Preview issue. I hope the magazine will do a better job of covering the Games themselves than it did on the preview. Making good use of the work of these three talented photographers would be a good start, but experience tells me very little of what they do will ever be used in the magazine itself. Which is why the fact that they will be blogging is such a good thing. But not even publishing one week while the games are on? A business decision, no doubt. But an unfortunately-timed one.

His images reflect drive and passion. I am always surprised and delighted when I see his pics featured in stories or on the Sportsshooter site.

Not too long ago it used to be that you would be paid practically nothing for a web use or if you were given an assignment to be web published the rates would be abysmally low. But here we see the final merging of the two media, economically speaking. It should be all good for those who have a unique perspective.
