ok @instagram, you win. #apublicapology

December 30, 2011 by chip

You know what, Instagram?  I’m sorry. I cursed you and your buddy Hipstamatic for the last couple years.  You were destroying our industry, flooding our market with imagery, and making the construction and process of image-making too easy and less intellectual.  I was one of, if not the guy who wrote the blog post that started the whole Damon Winter/POYi mess.  I cursed iPhoneography, Holgaroids, and Urban Outphittography™.  Oooooh, I like that – Urban Outphittography.  Note the ™. I’m big [...]

what the hipsta?

there’s an app for photojournalism

February 9, 2011 by chip

So do you think this is photojournalism? If the answer is yes, then what we knew as photojournalism at it’s purest form is over and POYi just killed it.  Well, they didn’t kill it so much as just dig another knife deeper into the back of its decaying corpse.  It’s time to really address the crossroads we’re at in photojournalism and figure out where it’s headed versus what it was.

bitter and then some

December 7, 2010 by chip

You know, the Internet is a weird place. There are some things I write that I truly mean.  There are others I write just to poke the flames a bit and start conversations – like my own little message board. Do I honestly think the Holga/Logo/Diana are bad things to shoot with?  No.  Hipstamatic apps?  Yes.  Strange how that rationale works. (click here to read rant #1)  Three of my top 5 favorite photographers working today, Todd Heisler , Damon Winter, [...]
