PopPhoto continues to stand up for photogs

By Marc Perton

popphotoI have to admit I’m pretty impressed with Popular Photography’s ongoing coverage of “the war on photographers.” After all, it’s a magazine better known for reviews of lenses and curmudgeonly columns about glorious old pre-war cameras. So, the magazine’s (and its website) continued focus on the issue of photographers’ rights is something of a fundamental rethinking of its historic mission. And, as far as I’m concerned, it works. At a time when you can find photography tips just about anywhere, it’s important for established players like PopPhoto to be able to show how they’re different and better. Higher-quality reviews can help, of course. But taking up the cause of embattled photographers is even better. You can bet I’m going to review my subscription. And keep PopPhoto’s blog in my OPML.
