"Stunning" is a pretty strong word for those shots. I think the fact that Getty accepted them is "stunning".
ETA
I guess they see a revenue stream from the Yankees' stars.

LOL. I think it's funny that the reason "traditional" photogs are horrified is that you "needed darkroom skills to make your photos look great". Now you can just do it in your phone. The horror!
Honestly though, this is just a throw-away blog piece. She didn't quote any "traditional" photos so, for all we know, Megan Rose Dickey is the only photog horrified by this and we don't even know if she's ever been in a darkroom... |

| Besides which, all that matters is "is the shot any good?" I saw the Times, and the shot's good. What more do we want? |

I sent her an email and suggested she spend some time here.

Interesting... just by putting a few recent events together, I can fathom a guess that this article, the appearance of an instagram photo in the New York Times together with the "acceptance" of these photos by Getty is a paid social media campaign by Facebook in order to market instagram as a useable source of stock material!

The camera on my iPhone is pretty damn good. It won't do everything my D800 will, but in the right hands, it's plenty good enough for a lot of editorial portraits. Like any camera and any editing tool, what really matters is the monkey standing behind it.
I went to the guy's website and had a poke around. He has a style that lends itself well to the iPhone/instagram thing. Some of the pictures were excellent, some weren't really my cup of tea. A little too artless, maybe. |

| I personally know about the quality of my iPhone because I spent the last two days in endless meetings, taking pictures of my feet under the table. |
