WWE Monday Night Raw: Photo shoot.
The WWE crew rolled into Jacksonville at the Veterans Memorial Arena in October. It was cool shooting wrestling on assignment for the first time. I had not watched wrestling since the days of Hulk Hogan and I was in grade school so it was pretty cool so it it up close and live. Some of the superstars at the event were John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, Snoop Dogg, Mark Henry, Kelly Kelly, Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
The Tech Side:
All photos were shot with available light with monopod. Two camera bodies, Canon 5D and 40D set on aperture priority trying to keep the shutter speed up by adjusting ISO. Canon 70-200/2.8L with IS on, and the Canon 24-105/4L with IS on.

The Color Purple: Photo shoot.
Tonight I shot the musical, "The Color Purple" for eu jacksonville newspaper. It was opening night and I had not seen it before or read the book. It was good.
All photos were shot with my Canon 5D and the 300/2.8L IS. The camera and lens were stabilized by a monopod. I was a few hundred feet at the back of the theatre which is why I brought the 300mm. The ISO was kept as low as possible where I could limit the amount of noise and still avoid blur.

The newspaper industry is on the down and out right? Maybe not.
With what seems to be daily closures of newspapers all over the country we see the newspaper industry falling into what looks like an inevitable extinction.
Daniel Gross wrote an interesting article (see it here) about the health of the newspaper industry. He mentions that all businesses have declined sales as a result of the economy and made a rather obvious point. Daniel wrote, "There are plenty of members of what I call the 40 percent club: businesses, many tethered to finance and credit, that have seen sales plummet by nearly one-half. These include automobiles, homes, luxury apparel, and diamonds. Many other components of consumer discretionary spending—hotels, restaurants, air travel—have fallen off significantly. Do we draw a line from trends over the last few years and declare that in 15 years there will be only a handful of hotels?"
Audit Bureau of Circulations shows that newspapers have a decline of over 10% in circulation during the last 6 months. Advertising dollars have also dropped accordingly. Despite this some newspapers are profitable. Daniel wrote, "by the way, you can still make money publishing newspapers—even in a period when advertising has plummeted. Check out Gannett's third-quarter earnings report. Its newspapers pulled in more than $100 million of operating income on revenues of $1.04 billion. In the first three quarters of 2009, advertising revenues were off 31.6 percent, but circulation revenues were off less than 5 percent, even though many of Gannett's flagship papers lost subscribers."
Personally I don't know where things are headed. I hate being realistic but love being optimistic. Unfortunately I think that the print newspaper industry is headed to extinction. Wish it wasn't so but it seems to be headed that way. As with everything, technology evolves, communication and distribution has evolved and will continue to do so. Print is just too slow. Nostalgic but slow and limited in it's use to spread the word.
It seems that I get major news updates via Twitter updates these days before I even get around to picking up a paper.
