 I remember when I had my first layoff scare five years ago. It was the most stressful, nerve-wracking thing I'd ever experienced. I had not been at the newspaper for a year at that point, and to see so many veteran reporters and editors let go was intimidating. I spent the next few months watching my back, even though I knew that since I was at the bottom of the food chain (and pay scale), my job was probably safe.

 Living in a community as conservative as mine can be difficult. People tend to judge you. Sometimes, in fact, I get phone calls -- the anonymous kind. They call to tell me how much trouble I'm in, what I've done wrong and whom I've upset.

 On Monday, we laid out a case for embracing the photo illustration as a legitimate product of photojournalism -- rather than the profession's redheaded stepchild. Perhaps, as Michael Coyne articulated, "once we are open and honest about which images are manipulated, and the term 'photo illustration' is common practice ... there will be less incentive for the photojournalist to be deceptive." Furthermore, perhaps there are cases where "the photographer feels [it] is necessary to show the viewers the totality of a situation."

Most photojournalists are not crazy about "photo illustrations" -- the only category of newsroom artwork that permits substantial photo manipulation. In fact, many news photographers flat out hate them.

 There are two types of creatives in this world: those who have had their works infringed, and those who will. But just because "the kids" think it's OK to steal your music, video or photography, that doesn't make it so. And the worst thing you can do as a photographer is to be a hypocrite and infringe on the works on other creatives (because everybody else is doing it) while whining about your own situation.

For a wedding photographer, the dividing line between what's right and what's wrong for your business and your life doesn't get any trickier than this: same-sex weddings.

 The idea that the press exists to cover all aspects of a war isn't new. Reporters have a history of putting their lives on the line to cover the events on the ground as they happen. And as long as we've had photojournalists, we've had daring individuals who go out of their way to get the shot less taken. But there can be a fine line between aggressively documenting events as they happen -- and actively supporting one side in a conflict.
