http://apadc.com/events/upcoming-events/the-new-stock-an-evening-with-jon-feingersh/
Stock has historically been thought of as the ugly step child of the photo world. But many highly skilled photographers work exclusively in stock, producing much of the most exciting and compelling images used in advertising. Jon Feingersh’s work has been at the forefront of the stock world for many years. Join us for a surprising evening of images that will make you rethink your concept of stock photography.
Through examples of his work and personal anecdotes drawn from 25 years in the stock industry, Jon will share with us his thoughts on where stock has been and, more importantly, where it will be in the future. We’ll see images that span the genres from lifestyle to conceptual in a variety of styles that will make you ask yourself, “Is that really stock?”
Jon is one of the most successful, yet locally unknown, photographers in the DC area. Quitting assignment work around 1986, Jon has been doing stock photography exclusively ever since. In the stock world, however, Jon’s production group is one of the best known, most prolific, and most highly respected stock photography production companies in the country. On average, each business day, the rights to more than 15 of his images are licensed somewhere around the world.
He is a founding member/principal of Blend Images, the first photographer-owned stock agency specializing in multicultural images. His work is represented by Gettyimages.com, Blendimages.com, Masterfile.com, Superstock.com, ImageSource.com, as well as hundreds of their sub-agents around the world. In addition to all of this he has also found time to teach master classes at the Maine Photographic Workshops, shape minds at CDIA at Boston University, and participate in panel discussions at PDN’s Photo East Expo.
April 24th, 6:30 – 8:30 pm. (Program begins at 7 pm and will run until 8:00 pm. There will be time for questions afterwards.)

Ideas Over Easy is ASMPDC’s continuing series of informal get-togethers to catch up and talk about issues we all share.
This month’s program is all about the photobook. Larissa Leclair from the Indie Photobook Library will bring a selection of the collection for us to look at, be inspired by and ask questions about. It’ll be like a book club but without the homework!
About the Indie Photobook Library:
Founded by Larissa Leclair in 2010, the Indie Photobook Library is an archive of self-published and indie published photobooks. This includes DIY, photobooks independently published and distributed, photography exhibition catalogs, print-on-demand photobooks, artist books, zines, photobooks printed on newsprint, limited edition photobooks, and non-English language photography books, etc. The iPL promotes and showcases the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come.

Hey Jamie’s Listers,
There seems to be a lot of DC folks heading up to the NPPA Northern Short Course and are looking for someone to share the cost of the hotel/gas. If you want a roommate or passenger, chime in here on the comments or send me a post to put up on the List.
I’m sitting in on two panels (Getting Hired & Nonprofit Photography for Educators) and I’m teaching a Photo Mechanic lecture too. I’d love to see some DCers in the crowd!
Have a great weekend! -Jamie

Check out Sean’s great self-propelled initiative in showcasing his assisting abilities. I applaud this young man for taking the step to break into the industry with marketing and promotion! I know this isn’t something out of the ordinary for most businesses. However, I’ve never seen this from an assistant to court new clients. Well done, Sean!
