 The world of photojournalism, since the grand old days of Life magazine, has changed dramatically. Beginning in the late 1980s, photographers have steadily moved out of the darkroom and into the brave new world of digital media. For visual communicators, the digital technologies have intensified processes, especially given the immediacy of the digital camera.

 The University of Southern Mississippi came up with an interesting idea for its latest recruitment campaign; it gave video cameras to a cross-section of students and asked them to document their lives at the school. The result, USM's Student Powered Videos (SPV) program, has been a hit -- drawing media buzz and traffic to the college's Web site.
But not everyone is happy with the campaign.

 It's no surprise that there seems to be a mad rush to become a professional photographer today. The technology is priced right. The cameras are smarter than most people care to admit. Education is available online for free. And the economy has been trending toward self-employed small business owners for the past 20 years.

 For my first post for Black Star, I thought I would lead off with the subject that drew attention to me in the first place: video at newspapers.
I first posted my opinions on this subject on SportsShooter.com in August 2007, and received a lot of feedback from other professionals facing this new challenge. I do not want to repeat myself but to continue this discussion. (You can
read the SportsShooter post here.)

 At my design and branding agency, we produce a fair amount of video, and we have always worked with DPs from the film world or shooters with years of video experience.
Now, for the first time, we've begun to look to still photographers to handle some of our videography needs. It's not that traditional film and video shooters have done anything wrong; we're just intrigued by the idea that photographers may bring something new to the table.

 When we at Stock Asylum looked back at the highlights of 2007, we found a couple surprises. For one thing, we were not able to award the honor of "best image collection" to a single distributor. We had to split the category between Getty and Corbis. Yes, Corbis is catching up.
Additionally, we decided that no company really deserved a mention for publishing an exceptional marketing piece. Marketing this year seemed to be based on price alone, which is a shame when you work with a product that offers so many selling opportunities. Frightened by micropayment stock, the traditional side of the industry apparently got a bad inferiority complex and failed to look at and promote all the positive benefits of quality photography. Let's hope the traditional side does better in 2008.
There were, however, many high points in 2007, as you will see when you read on. Our picks for the best of 2007 are below.
