Bill Pierce interview

[Out to Lunch]

I posted this link a few days ago and saw it received little to no feedback. This is perhaps since the title of the thread was ''Noses''. In fact, this was the title of Bill Pierce's latest post some 12 months ago. Anyone with an interest in the life of a successful working news photographer may want to have a look at this YouTube clip:

I watched it in its entirety. Well worth the time if one is interested in photography beyond f-stops, shutter speeds, full-frame vs. micro four thirds, film vs digital, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, I saw that lack of replies too. I watched it and it is great, but I wanted to refrain from commenting to see if anyone else would. Thanks for posting it here in a new thread.

I also watched the interview. It was more of a conversation between friends. The man is impressive and totally lacking in BS.

I used to read his columns on Digital Journalist when it was active. It truly concerned nuts-and-bolts photojournalism.

I miss Bill Pierce. I miss the way he stimulated conversation; adult conversation; good conversation.
