PetaPixel is doing great. I think that’s why I’m so surprised.

I’m hearing that a majority of the editorial team at my Alma Mater Digital Trends have been laid off.

Similar to how my days ended there, it doesn’t sound great.

So that’s where all the Provia is

Stock Photography's Crossroads: Can a Getty-Shutterstock Merger Fix It? The stock photography market’s consolidation into an oligopoly didn’t happen overnight.

Look at that healthy shelf. Makes me hopeful! I’ll be in Japan in about a month so fingers crossed I can restock.

No like
