I shot a murder scene in DC with the film on New Year's Eve and Kodak ending up paying me I belive it was either $2500.or $5000. for using the picture in a National ad for Kodak's new high speed color slide film. The picture also ran in the Washington Times as a news pic. and they paid I belive $100.00 for a freelance shot back then.Mark ReinsteinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-47756968353282556662008-07-07T15:15:00.000-04:002008-07-07T15:15:00.000-04:00From this web site: http://www.goiam.org/content....From this web site: http://www.goiam.org/content.cfm?cID=6615<BR/><BR/>"The IRS recently ordered FedEx to pay back taxes and fines totaling nearly $320 million to ground employees who were improperly classified as independent contractors."<BR/><BR/>FedEx appears to “misclassify its FedEx Ground drivers as ‘independent contractors’ to get around civil rights and labor laws.

I say this because many "news photojournalists" get paid really poor wages and for the most part get taken advantage of by the publications the work for. <BR/><BR/>The stories that my friends tell me of major newspapers fighting with them over things as pitiful as milage reimbursement and decent health care benefits among other things is truly laughable. <BR/><BR/>But yet it looks like they have no trouble at all doctoring up an image for an advertisement and making sure that their lawyers sew up all of the rights and get paid the going rate.<BR/><BR/>"Photojournalists" take note.......you are getting used.

It had been rear-ended and the gas tank ruptured. Just as I was pulling my cameras out of the car the other staff photographer from the paper, 30,000 daily, arrived and he was on duty. I turned the event over to him.<BR/><BR/>About six months later an attorney came calling. He represented the woman injured in the Pinto when it exploded in a suit against Ford. He purchased prints of every frame the shooter made. Ford found out and tried to buy all of the negatives but the paper said no. So Ford bought 20 copies of every negative. As the suit moved forward, other attorneys representing other injured clients, came calling. <BR/><BR/>When the dust had settled, the paper made nearly $50,000 in sales. Half went to the photographer. <BR/><BR/>2) I covered the 1995 US Army invasion of Haiti to restore President Aristide for The Washington Times. Fuji film purchased an image of a Haitian soldier beating a teenage boy on a bike. They used the image in a nationwide, year-long, promotion of their film. It was small brochure pullout pasted in to photo mags and had a different photographer for each of their films.<BR/><BR/>At first Fuji didn't want to pay for the image. Instead they offered film and mini-lab chemicals. In the end the paper settled for a bunch of film and $4000, of which I received half.<BR/><BR/>3) Same Haiti trip. I made an up close image of a Beretta 9 mm pistol being held by a US soldier with a crowd of Haitians in front of him. Beretta wanted to use the image in an ad and the paper said 'no'. Being a family newspaper they didn't feel it would be best for the paper. Never mind the fact the image ran on A1 4 columns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-41799305237067021682008-04-18T11:48:00.000-04:002008-04-18T11:48:00.000-04:00Excellent Post, John,I wonder what the contract re...Excellent Post, John,I wonder what the contract read between FedEx and the newspaper.
