I think I’m going puke. Scanning though my current issue of PDN I came across an ad for a stock agency proclaiming the end to high prices and fees. They promote that you can get an image with usage for as little as $1.00…That’s right! For the price of a value meal [...]

I see in our collective future…LENSES and more LENSES. Think [...]

As a young boy I collected comic books among other things and in my home town there was a dealer who’s closing sales line was always…”I’m doing it all for you buddy!” Give me a break! Teleport decades into the future and I sometimes have the same feeling when the Photo [...]
