So as my 4 or 5 regular readers may have noticed there’s been a lack of posting of late.  Between post-holiday syndrome and whatever else (laziness, 24 and LOST) I’ve been delinquent and I apologise.
There’s been so much doom and gloom every day and obviously our industry has been directly affected.  Domino Magazine closed last […]

Is now with these guys.
(No, I don’t mean our new president.)
 

I subscribe to Creativity, which most of you might know is AdAge’s great monthly magazine covering all things related to art direction, design, production and interactive in the advertising business.

The producers, directors and production co’s they asked are a who’s who of the business, from Radical Media […]

I was dropped a line not too long ago by one Jesse Miller, who recently started the photography agency Tinker Street and acts as agent and producer.  We exchanged a number of interesting emails before I realised I hadn’t conducted a Dialogue in long while..so here was the perfect chance.

You might have heard about the current state of things.
Well, unfortunately a deep understanding of macroeconomic theory was not a prerequisite for this job so my […]

As you have probably heard, one of the greatest American icons in acting recently passed away, Paul Newman.
The Starworks blog has a great tribute over here.
A few days later after hearing this sad news, I was reminded of a book I once read: Adventures in the Screen Trade, by Hollywood screenwriter William Goldman.
I don’t remember […]

Finally official…Art+Commerce has added photographer/fashion designer Hedi Slimane and fashion stylist Edward Enninful to their roster.

And Horst Diekgerdes has joined Katy Barker.

 
I think just about everyone has chipped in their 2 cents on this little commotion caused by photographer Jill Greenberg and her commission by The Atlantic Monthly to shoot portraits of Senator John McCain.
A Photo Editor of course wrote a great bit of commentary and generated lots of comments, Conscientious had a very thoughtful and critical analysis of […]

The former Director of Photography at WiB, Boda, has moved to See Management with photographer Dean Isidro. 
And D+V Management will soon have a New York presence.
And as I am sure you’ve all heard, Photoshelter has unfortunately shut down their stock agency.  And with it goes the absolutely wonderful, prolific and revelatory Shoot! The Blog maintained by ‘blog stewardess’ […]
