Re: Sports Illustrated fires all it's (six remaining), photographers

2015-01-26 Thread Morris Galloway
Based on that icon of accurate reporting -- Parade Sunday Supplement -- 
in many Sunday papers,  the SI staff photogs are responsible for the 
Superbowl Cover Shots, and have been for years. In fact, some have shot 
Every Superbowl (Assuming I can read and think at the same time) and are 
expected there again according to yesterday's article.


And one staffer says he's shot some of the swimsuit issue.

So, there ya go -- Next they'll fire their writers -- then the editors.  
And publishers come next ...  and then . . . .

Re: Boston update about the blizzard

2015-01-26 Thread P.J. Alling
Just took to the dog out for his last walk of the evening, weather.com's 
hourly report says we experienced blizzard condition.  There was a bit 
of blowing snow, but nowhere near blizzard conditions.


In my youth, (gaud but that makes me feel old to say that), I had to 
trudge about a mile through about 1 and 1/2 feet of snow, with wind that 
cut through my down parka like it wasn't there, and my breath freezing 
into icicles in my beard, to get to my office.  I was a graduate student 
and the school administration didn't even bother to cancel classes until 
the afternoon. I don't even know how cold it actually was.


Tonight I was wearing a sweater a Squall Jacket, and a wool cap. So far. 
this is nothing.

 We did the climb by car, of course, although a few hardy souls were

 up the mountain at 4:00 AM, watch the sun rise over the Pacific, and
 then ride a bicycle down the mountain, through several changes of

Re: Sports Illustrated fires all it's (six remaining), photographers

2015-01-26 Thread Igor PDML-StR


It is a popular trend to outsource everything and to use contractors 
instead of own/full time employees.
Even when it doesn't offer actual savings, especially in the long run (as 
frequently happens), it helps to look well on the books, especially for 
publically traded companies and/or state entities, such as universities 
(although SI is not in either of those categories).


I suspect the savings for not having full-time photographers come from not 
having to pay for the benefits (medical insurance, retirement benefits, 
etc.). For a similar reason, Texas AM (that big U. within 3-hr drive from 
you) outsourced physical plant, janitorial services, parking, and 
possibly something else.



Speaking of writers and editors, - reading BBC news website, recently I've 
got very disappointed about how sloppily some articles are written. They 
must've outsourced [some of] their writers and editors as well. :-)
