 There is a heaviness in the air in newsrooms today. You can feel it pressing down on you as soon as you arrive at your desk. It is as if everyone is in a constant state of grief, and I think it is because we are grieving. We are grieving for our colleagues who have left the business, by force or choice. We are grieving for the way things were just a few short years ago, when we could cover a story despite the expense of mileage or a plane ticket. But most of all, we are grieving because we are losing our profession as we know it.

 With the advance of digital photography, a disquieting and incessant murmur has rumbled into the public discourse -- one that challenges photography's claim as the "supreme medium of truth." How people have come to believe that a photograph could ever reveal anything other than partial actuality is hard to imagine. Nevertheless, since its inception, the insistent assertion that "seeing is believing" has been hard to dismiss.

 At first glance, it might appear that royalty-free stock photography would offer the better value for the money, so why would any photo buyer choose rights-managed stock instead? There are actually a lot of good reasons to choose rights-managed photography -- many of them too often overlooked by buyers.

 I sat watching the gecko on the wall for 7 minutes and 11 seconds. How did I know this? Well, because the clock I had set for one hour next to the computer said I had 52 minutes and 49 seconds left. I was following the advice I had seen in the article "How to Write a Thesis in One Hour a Day."

 The market of ideas has always had its malcontents and misfits. The rage sector of the economy, as I like to think of it. And nobody in the world today knows how to trade in rage credits like Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who has invited more than his fair share of flowers, praise, controversy, and death threats -- except, for the most part, without the flowers and praise.

In the early 1970s, I found myself quietly sitting in our local library sifting through back issues of Life magazine. I was looking for some way to make sense of the tumult of those times -- Kent State, Vietnam and the civil rights movement. In the graininess of those Life pictures, I found myself drawn to images that could bring reason to a world that seemed out of control and chaotic.
