Well, who doesn’t but let me clarify. We’re not looking for your typical fear of abandonment/commitment/have to step over every other sidewalk crack, type of issues. Not that those aren’t valid, believe me I understand. Yours truly used to be an obsessive counter and reader of museum labels– nerdy, I know. But the issues we most want to hear about are those currently facing the world of commercial photography.

The PRC is investigating a program that would explore not only the current climate of commercial photography but its future trajectory. We plan on speaking with a whole host of folks to decide on the most effective course of action for this research and subsequent program. But before we get too ahead of ourselves we want to hear from all those of you in the trenches. So, if you’re a commercial photographer or shoot commercial work, if you work in an agency, if you’re a rep, sell stock, etc, please let us know what issues/challenges you face that you would most like to see addressed. What elements, germane to the future of this industry, would you like to hear about. Please list your thoughts in the comments section of this post.

Can’t wait to hear about your issues!

The PRC’s 2008 Student Exhibition presents a dizzying array of photographs from our 18 member schools. It is proof positive of the boundless talent, energy, and creativity offered by this next generation of artists.

Two of these students have harnessed their photographic prowess to render utterly adorable images of fairly anthropomorphized animals. But, in the history of cuteness, and the ongoing dispute between cats and dogs, (and much like the HIGHLANDER) there can be only one! One species who can forever lay claim to being the cutest of them all. Let’s settle that right now with…
