This Week In Photography Books – Leon Borensztein
by Jonathan Blaustein I re-watched “Taxi Driver” the other day. My god, was New York a hell-hole back in the 70′s. Seriously. It’s no surprise Travis Bickle went bonkers. (But that happy ending…I smell studio meddling. Marty must have known he had the chops to go mainstream.) Have you seen it? Or what about “My...

If you could change one thing in the creative industry right now, what would that be?
I would put the value back on to certain creative. It’s not about money, but it is about value. You can have it good, fast or cheap, but you can only have two. And people are leaving ‘good’ out of it and want it fast and cheap. I would like everyone to slow it down...

What To Look For When Signing A Contract With An Agent
