Like the U.S. Marine Corps, and maybe the mob, you never really leave.  Great news about a pair of former New Hampshire photographers Andrea Bruce (Concord Monitor) and Peter DiCampo (The Telegraph).  The two have become tied to VII.  According to the news release Bruce for “the distribution and resale of images” and DiCampo joins [...]

The Spill

I read a Facebook post from Kevin Jacobus about an associate of ours and his experience covering the spill.  Timely and interesting in light of the recent coverage about, well, coverage.  Read about Nicolaus Czarnecki’s experience and see some of his photos here.  Additionally, read an interesting post out of Miami and see what’s been [...]

November 3rd, 2009 | happy nugget, images, industry news, management, projects | No comments

In the sensory overload world, eliminating clutter and streamlining work flow can be a challenge. You can’t have that big picture success without an attention to detail.

“There aren’t any jobs in the newspaper industry.”

April 27th, 2009 | happy nugget, layoffs/cuts/buyouts, projects, RI | 1 comment

Hurray Scott Kingsley for stating the fact and making my Monday a little brighter. A girl can get a complex after six months in job search mode doesn’t bring in any offers.
