Millionaires new hobby, bash middle class photographers
As you may have been reading in cris weeks' blog, Rhonda Shearer has been bashing the photos of one of Reuters photographers without a single piece of evidence, leading to a monumental movement of people defending the rights of the photographer you can read here: http://blogs.reuters.com/gbu/2007/10/29/fire-damage-photo/ and here: http://blogs.reuters.com/gbu/2007/10/31/more-on-fire-photos/ and more after the jump.
-yeah I am Ed on the replies-
Sadly she thinks (perhaps 'cause she was featured on Forbes or because she has a mansion and a legion of people to attend her desires) that Reuters has the obligation to present her the original photos at full resolution... what the heck???... Reuters doesn't has any obligation with anyone, even less when the accusation has no proofs at all and it becomes slander.
I replied stating the obvious, Rhonda Shearer has been doing Slander, as she doesn't has any proof but still accuses a honest photographer and thus putting an undeserved stain on his name.
What is worst is the fact she doesn't has ANY experience in the field of photojournalism , I may think that she doesn't even has any experience in snapshotism.....
Later is revealed that she has a web site that is called stinkyjournalism dot com... so everything becomes clear, the best hypotesis is to think she needed a scapegoat to attract public to her page, her motif could be to do a PR move to get more hits in her website, and thus attacked Mario's photos at Reuters, stinky move... and from a person that is telling Reuters to give up the photos because of "ethic" reasons.. WTF?? how can she talk about ethics when she accused an innocent man and she doesn't has a single speck of a valid proof.
Not all millionaires may have this particular hobby, trying to destroy the carreer and credibility of a experienced and honest photojournalist, but Rhonda Shearer seems to excel at this hobby of her.
Thanks to Chris for the info! and you if you have something you want to say, Reuters page is open to your comments!
Excelently said Ed. It does seem that there are thoes out there with more money than sense, are on some kind of personal crusade to justify their meager existance. They want to prove to the world that their opinion is what matters and everyone else is here for their audience. Rhonda Shearer is one of those people who finds it necessary to point out her self-importance.
