 News, techniques &
inspiration for the photo professional
Dear reader,
PhotoPlus Expo has barely begun, but it's already been a busy week for news - including a report on the photographer/activist gunned down while
covering unrest in Oaxaca, news about James Nachtwey's latest prize, the sale of Index Stock, Todd Heisler's new job and more. As part of our
coverage of the microstock business , we've posted our research into how much money top microstock contributors can earn. We also talk to Martin
Parr and Gerry Badger, co-authors of The Photobook, Volume II, about their favorite books of photos.
