A tangent but reminds me of the fact that even though we have millions of photographers with amazing cameras, most news and culture sites display images in low quality.
So most great photos will also never been seen. I remember Boston Globe from years ago with great photo content that really captured the vibe of so many places and people in the news.
These days news means boring propaganda PR pictures or tiny images with artifacts, very weird. It's like we're not as close to the actual world as we were 10+ years ago.
Probably also about licensing, but it's stupid because most photos won't end up as "pressphoto of the year" or whatever they are saving their HQ versions for.
- Lord-Jobo 3y agoThis bothers me a lot. It reminds me of old movies and tv shows using garbage low quality props that eventually look like monopoly money instead of dollars at current resolutions, because the quality of broadcast and even projection at the time of filming was so low nobody would be able to tell. future proof your work for gods sake
