- Kirk Tuck remembers how small, incremental jobs saved his business when superstar photographers, like dinosaurs, disappeared in the recession. "In the tightest economies it seems that only the smaller jobs get approved and funded," he writes.
- Thomas Hawk previews 15 Photographs From Ed Ruscha and the Great American West now showing at the de Young Museum.

- In Photographers Are Gearing Up for the Republican Convention Like It's War, Nick Stockton reports photojournalists on site are breaking out bullet proof vests, flak jackets, helmets. Although one freelancer has decided against protective gear because "it will be a lot easier to run" without it.
