Microsoft, who is trying to get their HD file image format approved as a standard, has released a free plug-in that allows Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3 to read them. download at : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b157ca0f-083f-4957-9aa3-4da1de3dc20b&DisplayLang=en

In a BLOG post from CNet (http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9748139-7.html?tag=bl) it was revealed that the latest NFL contract to gain access to the field REQUIRES all photographers to wear vests advertising Canon and Reebok. Why stop at the photographers? Make every reporter type person (even even radio announcers) wear them who are at the NFL game. If a Radio or TV wants to talk about it require them to mention Canon and Reebok (NFL is sponsored by Canon and Reebok. The Cowboys won again . . .). Why stop there? Any private venue can write into the terms of attendance that all reporters wear only their approved vests.
As a private firm they CAN make up any rule they want and it gets back to that old adage "its my game so you have to play by my rules" is very much alive.
In an online blog early June 2007 I saw an announcement that they have plans to announce a program called Red Carpet to get high level users press credentials.
"The company will work to facilitate the acquisition of coveted press passes, whether at film premieres, awards shows, concerts or political rallies," the company said in a forum posting on Monday. "While taking steps to secure preferred access for its photographers, Shutterstock will expand its library of celebrity images, a popular category among buyers."
Shutterstock has 60,000+ image posting members.

I saw in a news article that Getty Images bought out another online store called Scoopt out of Scotland.
It is unknown if Getty will retain the current 50-50 profit split that Scoopt had with the photographers when they licensed their images to news outlets.

Many people feel that the essence of a photography workshop is to
pick up upi camera, get out into the field, and start shooting. But
there’s a great deal of real work preceding and accompanying
shooting that is the real essence of the fine photography. What is
needed, along with a camera, is the art of observation, the art of
seeing, the art of noticing, and the art of imaging. This workshop
will be strictly focused on those prerequisite and accompaniment to
fine photography.
The workshop will concentrate on discussions, presentations, and in-death
reviews. Bruce will show his own work, fully discussing what he saw,
what he was looking for, how he composed the image with the available
light and forms, how he imagined the final print would look while he
was standing behind his camera (which largely determined the exposure
and development of the negative), and the processes he used to go from
the discovery in the field to the final image now in front of your
eyes. He will solicit your own views on the images to see if they parallel,
diverge, or go in the opposite direction of his own vision. This type
of in-depth discussion and analysis and discussion brings out aspects
of your own way of seeing and thinking that you may not be aware of,
and helps give you directions for pursuing your own vision.
All participants’ in the workshop will be expected t bring between
10 and 20 of their images for additional in-depth discussion and analysis
of each participants work. Al approaches are welcome: color, B&W,
alternative processes, mixed media traditional photography or digital
photographic processes.
The workshop will alternate between highly enlightening discussion/critiques
of Bruce’s work and those of the participant's work. By the end
of the workshop, you will have gained unimagined insight into your
own interests and approaches to photography, in particular, and the
entire realm of art, in general. This workshop will be held at Washington
State University, Vancouver.
