Read more…The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

jennifer.schoultz@mantiscollection.comDear Nancy, just returned from a beautiful fall day here in Oregon after photographing a college football game. I am so very sorry to learn about the senseless and tragic murder of your grandson. My heart goes out to you and your family. I have experienced the loss of all of my immediate family members, except for my remaining brother. In my experience, the time to die is not under our control and most of the time it doesn't make any sense. But in the whatever it's worth department, I believe our loved ones are in a better place now and I'm thankful for the time they shared with us in this world. I am fortunate that I do have a son and two grandchildren, even if they live far away. Take care of yourself. Just do what feels the best during this time period and I know you will feel better in time. Cheers!
I can agree, Allan, et al, that there are too many magazines out there wanting something for nothing. While I don't believe I'm the end all, be all for freelancers, I do feel my resume demands more than $15 an article, which seems to be he going rate as we move more towards digital media.
My biggest gripe is exactly that - the online media crowd. Um, correct me if I'm wrong but, just because your overhead is lower (meaning it's being done from your basement, you don't pay for printing or distribution) doesn't mean MY work is worth less.
In the writing biz, and I wish the online media crowd would figure this out as well, you get what you pay for. $15 for an article? You'll get a $15 article from someone who doesn't value their own work and probably for a good reason.
Pay me $500 plus buy the photos from me and I'll give you the best article you've ever seen. There's a reason I work for magazines like AAA. Because they value what I give them because I appreciate the standards they have.
I really love helping out new magazines in their quest for more ad dollars but my benevolence does only go so far.
