I dont feel sorry for The Atlantic magazine.
They are quite upset after discovering that Jill Greenberg, the left-wing photographer they hired to take photos of John McCain, is a deranged lunatic who manipulated pictures of the candidate to put him in a bad light and then posted hateful photoshops of the images on her personal website and gloated about it to the Photo District News website.
Sample of her unhinged defacing of McCains pics, which looks like something straight out of a Democratic Underground thread: (See article for photos)
Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg, whose cover story was tainted by Greenbergs work, writes: Greenberg doctored photographs of McCain she took during her Atlantic-arranged shoot, which took place last month in Las Vegas. She has posted these doctored photographs on her website, which you can go find yourself, if you must. Suffice it to say that her art is juvenile, and on occasion repulsive. This is not the issue, of course; the issue is that she betrayed this magazine, and disgraced her profession.

WARMONGERER?....She's also an idiot dumbass, apparently.....
Or that it was discovered?
Or that it was discovered AND published?
Or that it was discovered AND published AND embarrassed the Atlantic Magazine?
Where’s a photo of this Jill Greenberg sack o shit? I want to see what she looks like
She’s a model for deranged moonbats worldwide
Correct and this is the photo everyone will see.
Not the altered photos
Just when you thought these commie artistes couldn't sink any lower. Totally devoid of ethics. She hurt her cause all in all, so good
Thanks for posting. Hooray Michelle! Interesting thread. Thanks to every poster.
Hey, don’t dis old Andy. He knew how to keep things running smoothly down there in Mayberry, how to keep Aunt Bea happy and Barney out of trouble. If many people in our news media today suddenly had to find another line of work, they’d be lost.
What are they whinig about? don’t they have editorial control over what they put in their own damn magazine?
they could have rejected the work, couldn’t they?
In cases like this all photographs belong to the photographer - period. There is an implied copyright the moment that shutter clicks. The photographer then 'loans' the pictures to the magazine for publishing.
Now if the photographer works for the magazine, or a newspaper (on the payroll) that's different as he's acting as an agent of them.
In the olden days we had 'Model Release Forms', but in reality they were just a formality/courtesy. I think I still have some in one of my old camera bags, they're polly all yellow and brittle by now.
Yes. They could have rejected the photos. Apparently they liked what they saw. (the pigs)
Sorry Andy, didn’t realize it was you...
For a little thrill LiveSearch or google images of “Jill Greenberg”.
Do it.
Really.
LOL. I’m a bit too young to be him, but obviously old enough to remember 1st run black-and-white shows on TV...
The joke is on her:
The Atlantic gets a cover that makes McCain look like the kind of tough old codger who can snap your neck without setting down his scotch neat, and McCain gets the benefit of the backlash against her petty little drawings.
It works out okay.
The Atlantic runs a cover that . . .
Yep. Think of the photo exhibits you see by famous photographers like Annie Leibowitz or Steven Meisel. The only way a free-lancer can keep going is to have full rights to his or her own portfolio of work, and be able to show it to prospective clients. Free-lance artists have to generate their own income stream, pay their own benefits, manage their business and still do the artistic work that makes them worth their fees.
That's why artistic integrity is important, and why even other photographers are slamming Jill Greenberg. Their livelihoods depend on good will and trust that the images will not be used to defame the people they photograph. Artists often live hand-to-mouth, and work hard to keep good relations with clients and potential clients. It is appalling to dread that the expense of lawyers and ironclad contracts would have to enter every photo transaction to keep things like this from happening again. She is a traitor to the profession.
Maybe her problem is that no one would ..err..”google” her..

Jill Greenberg is just an enabler for the Atlantic. The Atlantic isn’t the least bit sorry about her pictures.
No, that photo is not retouched. Kind of like Hillary’s picture.
Yeah right!!!
