'course, then there's always Andy Levin and his $1500 Haiti PJ workshops. Real stand up guy, Andy. Good job. With guys like you in the forefront of the journalism community, it's truly a mystery that pj is in the toilet and photographers are at each other's throats.

...really, not since the mid '90s when PDN, with no apology whatsoever, ran an interview with a photo buyer saying that photographer's pay was fine, though it had been level for 20 years, because they "had a great lifestyle" have I been so infuriated by what should be a professional publication, and by the behavior of photographers in general.
