The Funemployed...

So with this cutthroat world of photography there is a lot of competition for original ideas, especially those that can be translated to a large audience of viewers and readers. I had one such experience working with TIME magazine and a project that I had dubbed "The Funemployed." Spoke with a photo editor there about the idea and she seemed to really be into it. I also went as far as to conduct the shoot on my own for them and hopefully they would print it or at least allow me to consult. The shoot went off without a hitch and the art was exactly what I had envisioned. I was told to hold onto the photos for the next issue, but when the next issue came... I saw that it was the exact idea that I had presented to TIME earlier in the year. At least i know that I can think on the same levels as the big guys... perhaps next time they'll give a young gun a shot before just stealing his idea, maybe.
