Amen, Robert! And we’re so glad you like JPG.

I was a Photojournalism major in college, and when I got out in 1995 I sent slides (yes, slides!) to newspapers from coast to coast, begging for work. There was none. So if photojournalism is on the decline, I’d say it’s been that way for a long time.

And, in a way, that’s one reason Heather and I started JPG: To give all those talented nonprofessionals out there the recognition they deserve. I’m a little jealous of my younger counterparts, coming out of school now. There are so many more outlets - so many more ways to see and be seen as a photographer.

It’s just one of many gifts the internet has given us.
