 Some fifteen years ago after a preview of a large photography exhibit
at the Columbus (Ohio) Museum of Art, an elderly woman who clearly considered
herself an authority declared that the images were all very nice but
that no thinking person could ever consider photography an "art."
The
declaration resulted in a considerable number of embarassed glances
among others in the group who were clearly torn between treating the
woman respectfully and telling her what they really thought of her statement.
Most
knew that questions about photography's place in the art world had been
firmly settled decades earlier. They had to wonder how anyone could
spend two hours looking at work by the likes of Alfred Stieglitz, Edward
Weston, Man Ray, Imogene Cunningham, Bill Brandt, Dorothea Lang, Paul
Strand, André Kertész and others without seeing the immense
creative powers of a camera in the hands of a truly brilliant human
being.

 Under pressure from the Microstock, Royalty Free, and Rights Ready
stock photography options Rights Managed (RM) stock has to adapt to
prosper if not to survive. Studying business strategies is something
that I have done a lot of over the past forty years, and one thing I
learned long ago is this. When a business is under competitive
pressures it has to respond by adapting itself. There are three ways a
business can respond. It can give up, meet the competitions’
price/value equation, or differentiate itself by exploiting its
strengths and the competitions’ weaknesses. As a prelude to strategic
planning, many planners will conduct a SWOT study. SWOT is the acronym
for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Strengths and
weaknesses are internal forces, and Opportunities and Threats are
external forces. Once you have a grasp of those four factors in
relation to a business, you have a basis for strategic planning.
