Whilst I understand why t...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Monday, 29 June 2009. To scan or not to scan that is the question? About ten years ago, when I first moved to Nottingham, I estimated that my film archive amounted to between 750,000 and 1,000,000 images, transparency, C41, and monochrome. As I largely shot black and white until the early nineties, that would make the bulk of my archive in monochrome stock. So to access this stuff one needs a scanner. A photographer...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Saturday, 3 December 2011. Leveson inquiry - some balance please. Leveson inquiry: 'Photographers facing unfair criticism'. I have seen some incredibly professional behavior from my colleagues most of the time, but I have it is true also seen behavior that has made me very angry - and I am not a person to get riled easily. Any one who makes me angry must be behaving very badly indeed. I have witnessed photographers ...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Sunday, 28 June 2015. I have been reading with great interest the open letter sent by Taylor Swift to Apple in response to their very generous offer of giving away other peoples work for free (musicians work that is), and how Apple have done a very sensible about turn in the face of mass public pressure (no one wants to look bad in front of their customer base) To Apple Love Taylor. Ok, yes it does, but I wonder how...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Thursday, 6 March 2014. The British Journal of Photography has just run a very interesting story. The controversial move is set to draw professional photographers’ ire at a time when the stock photography market is marred by low prices and under. Not so much a race to the bottom, but the floor simply vanishing under our feet. Getty has believed in its market domination for many years, and we have seen them buy-out m...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Monday, 14 June 2010. I can't work for national newspapers, but I'm a photojournalist; I need someone to publish my work. A colleague asked me today, what he should be doing with a lifetime of acquired skills as a photographer working for newspapers, when newspapers were down sizing, losing staff and cutting budgets to freelances? My business model of supplying mostly national newspapers was no longer viable. I left...

Pete Jenkins Photo Thoughts. Observations from a photographer based in the East Midlands. Tuesday, 30 March 2010. Oppose Clause 43 - Digital Economy Bill. The main issue that needs attention is the part of the Digital Economy bill labelled Clause 43. This deals specifically with orphan works, extended collected Licensing and Moral Rights.
