Since this has been a really slow time for a lot of photographers I'm wondering what people are doing to fill their time. What are you shooting? Do you have a personal project you're working on?
I’m trying to get a broader view of what people are shooting across the country that reflects our economy, their own communities, or the stimulus projects around the country. I’d like to hear from you and am asking for links so I can see your work (that's better than emailing images).
My idea is to pull together a project with strong, moving images that are both timely and universal. If this speaks to you, email me at info@stellakramer.com.
If you are outside of the US, yet are shooting similar things, I'd like to know. I haven’t decided the particulars of the project--I’m just getting started--and no matter how much work I look at, I don’t see or hear about everything.
Be sure to tell your friends as well. I'm happy to look at lots of work.

Member Spotlight: Mariette Pathy Allen
Today begins a new feature, a weekly “spotlight” of our fellow ASMP NY members. I'll introduce inspiring men and women that are world renowned, at the beginning of their careers, and somewhere in between. Here we'll celebrate each others accomplishments and how their work moves the world forward. My name is Teresa Kruszewski, a current board member and the fortunate person to spend time with each member and get to know their story. I hope you enjoy our new feature.

Cell Phone Photography Is Changing Our Culture
I admit, it has taken me a long time to get used to the notion that a photo taken with a cell phone is totally acceptable. I was a student of old school photography and I wanted to remain that way for a long time. However, there is a time when one should swallow their pride and admit that technology changes. That was me about 4 years ago. I've had a Hasselblad, a Canon AE-1, a Holga, a Polaroid land camera and still have a Nikon SLR D40x.

LETTER FROM ASMP PRESIDENT, JAMES CAVANAUGH
(A wonderful perspective and advice for our community.)
PRESIDENT’S LETTER
It’s Just Business
Several recent threads on ASMP’s on-line forums have dealt with photographers’ frustration with client negotiations. Clients were proposing budgets below and terms beyond what the photographers considered fair. Photographers lamented that clients continually refused to see the value in what they provide.

What are the ASMPNY fine art portfolio reviews like? One word: Intense
As a reviewer for the 3rd year in a row I remembered how fast-paced the reviews can be. How stressful it is for the person getting reviewed. It reminds me of what speed-dating must be like. You have to be prepared for your "elevator speech" -describing in less than a minute what your work is about and for the lasting 9 minutes you are engaged with your chosen reviewer.
