Hard News: Rough times in the trade, in reply to Rob Stowell,
People hire professionals cos they get a job done at least competently- and usually, done well, and with a bit of flair.
In the case of photographers, the value is not just in core shooting ability but the relationship and contextual skills, say for portrait or news settings.

Hard News: Rough times in the trade, in reply to giovanni tiso,
any society that at this juncture in history refuses to engage in a wide-ranging debate on what is to be valued in its cultural artefacts, and how to reward its intellectuals, its journalists and its artists has no business calling itself civilised.
That would be nice. Are any doing it?

Hard News: Christchurch: Square Two, in reply to Ross Mason,
If this indeed the world's largest insurance payout as recently suggested (linked somewhere here), then it's bound to be a huge negotiation.
Not that I'm defending those in charge lacking the basic nous and decency to avoid blurting until they have something to say. Or any delays at all in that process (not that we have any way of knowing). Or whether there were alternatives to court action for a government of less laissez-faire disposition.
