Last Weekend i thought id tool around online and check on what's been going down around town.First stop i dropped by Aphotoeditor blog and got the updates for the week on what's hot and what's not.Then i jumped over to PDN for some more news - along the way i came across some controversy with Jill Greenberg and McCain shoot for The Atlantic.If you do a search you should come across many post and views on what people have to say about the whole shoot.Jill's work i admire and love her photography/Retouching skills as she can carve out the best in an image.
The interview over at PDN was one which was more political than a Photographer doing a paid job for a Magazine Cover shot.The Image was shot but there were other's that Jill later used on her website which kicked off the great debate.The images were taken off the site early in the week after im sure she had so many hits to her web page and im sure a few emails to follow on her actions.At the end of the day The Atlantic got major coverage along with Jill for being controversial for what she did.You could not get this amount of PR if you paid for it .So will she put a good spin on it and double her day rate ? let's wait and see
