Yahoo is stopping investing in Flickr [http://petapixel.com/2016/02/03/flickr-to-be-scaled-back-as-yahoo-trims-1700-jobs/] Sad time for those of us that still use and enjoy Flickr: > While products such as Yahoo Games will soon be shut down, Yahoo says that it will be reducing its investment in non-essential properties such
headshots
It started with a tweet. Actually, that’s not quite true, but it makes a good opening line, so what the hell. And the tweet looked like this: > HEADSHOTS in @londongramer [https://twitter.com/Londongramer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Book a slot before Christmas! It's 60 pounds

disruption
A good version of the well-told tale of how Kodak invented digital photography [http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/08/12/kodaks-first-digital-moment/] – and then stifled it until it was too late for the company: > “Every digital camera that was sold took away from a film camera and we knew
aggregation
One photographer has had enough of a viral content site nicking his photos [http://petapixel.com/2015/07/31/this-is-what-it-looks-like-to-sue-a-viral-clickbait-site-for-photo-copyright-infringement/?curator=onemanandhisblog] : > California-based photographer Jeff Werner has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the popular website ViralNova for publishing (and profiting from) his photos without his permission.

I managed to take a little time in a frantically busy day to escape my desk for the pleasure of playing with my new little business investment [http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T9OEYO6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00T9OEYO6&
digital disruption
Sometimes we in media think we’ve been hit hard by digital. Be profoundly glad you don’t run an independent one-hour photo shop: > No other business over the past 15 years has died off with the near-totality of the all-American photo shop. There are now just 190 left

copyright
This is an interesting move: > But we’ve heard from our community that we’re missing two important designations: Public Domain and Creative Commons 0 (CC0). Many members of our community want to be able to upload images that are no longer protected by copyright and correctly tag them
