A place at the table.
by Long, John
I read the article by Sherry Ricchiardi, "Distorted
Picture," in the August/September issue, and it is one of the best
and most comprehensive I have seen on this topic. It is very well done
and very well crafted. As a lifelong photojournalist, I like the idea of
the word-oriented people in our business being sensitized to these
issues in such an excellent way. It is a real service to those of us who
live in the visual world. This article gives us a place at the table
with the rest of the journalistic community.
