- Hola Paco,
Thanks for adding me as a friend on Visionaires. Times are certainly tough,
but lets hope we can both survive them and come out the other side of the recession.
One thing is for sure-we will always be photographers whatever happens. Even if I have to sweep the streets to earn a crust, I will still retain my passion for photography!
Best wishes,
John.

Some photos and some comments about this Photojournalist Festival for the people yet to come or the people already there in www.pacoelvira.com
Copyright photography is having serious problems in Spain. You can check my post in www.pacoelvira.com “The stock photos, Capa and the copyright” (Spanish&English(though I’m afraid my English is not as accurate as my Spanish)) where you’ll see how big publishing companies intend to keep the photographers’ copyright. There’s also a link to the interview Rangefinder Magazine did to a good friend of mine ,Jeff Sedlik, former president of the Advertising Photographers of America. In this interview Jeff remarks the capital importance for the photographers of just hire the right to publish their images, never to sell them.
I’d like to know how the situation in your countries is.
