Tuesday Briefs



+ Anthony Suau talks on NPR about the image he made that won World Press Photo of the Year.

+ Corbis-owned Veer launches their micro-stock side called "Veer Marketplace". Now, I like Veer but I'm slightly cautious of how this will turn out. I guess so does PDN.

+ Looks like everyone's feeling the pinch, even Annie. The article talks about Art Capital Group, a sort of high-end pawnshop. Read it here, here. (I do feel slightly bad for Annie to have her finances plaster on the New York Times.)

+ Getty's is having some contract problems with one of their new buys, MediaVast (they own WireImages). APhotoEditor breaks it down here.

+ PhotoShelter blog talks to Aaron Kupferman, a local photographer who used to work at A&I as a Technical Supervisor and Custom Printer.

+ Kodak blog talks briefly of the nominees for best cinematographers (yes I know, post-Oscar hangover)

+ Also, don't forget that Communication Arts photo competition's deadline is coming up fast - March 6, 2009

+ APA/LA has an event coming up this Saturday, Photoshop Pen, Path and Brush Magic with Dennis Dunbar. Sat. Feb 28th 9:30 am -1 pm. (This is already posted over in our event calendar)

+ And finally, Santa Monica-based photographer Jona Frank who recently released her book "Church & State" that documents the students of Evangelical Patrick Henry College will be speaking with art critic Jori Finkel over at Frumkin Gallery over in Santa Monica. Saturday February 28, 2009, 3pm. LINK (also already posted over in our event calendar)
