Artist's Integrity
Today may well be the last time I have any of my photos placed in our newspaper. Once again, in today's edition, they chose to run one of my color photos ("Monster Mash")... in black & white, destroying the integrity of the photo (in my opinion). Some photos should be run in color and some can be run in black & white. In fact, I've sent 'em black & white ones, in the past, because color was not necessary for those to make their point.
I cancelled my home subscription this morning, as I am really angry. I'm sure my monthly ten bucks won't mean anything to the newspaper's bottom line, but it makes me feel better.
Maybe I'm wrong. If you think so, feel free to tell me. The newspaper states that all submitted photos become their property and they are free to print 'em and/or sell 'em, if anyone wants copies. I've never cared about that; I only wanted to share what I see when I'm roaming around out there.
I may be placing too much importance on artist's integrity, but I just don't think so. You be the judge.
