Bruce Davidson/Friends of Anton
The photograph above, as well as many other incredible photographs will be sold tonight for a great cause: Christie’s is raising funds with an auction of contemporary photojournalism prints for the three children of Anton Hammerl, a photojournalist killed in Libya last year.
Our primary goal is to raise funds to ensure Anton’s three young children’s receive the best university education possible. Anton was the family’s primary breadwinner. He had no employer and no insurance. Beyond that we want to highlight the key role that photojournalists play in bringing information to viewers worldwide and the risks they take to fulfill it. Freelancers photographers in particular often assume these risks alone. In that respect Anton’s story is emblematic of the challenges faced by the most vulnerable photojournalists.

Work Is Work: Why Free Internships Are Immoral
The Labor Department’s guidelines require that internships must resemble an education rather than a job; that interns cannot work in the place of paid employees; that their their work not be of “immediate benefit” to an employer. If you’ve ever had an unpaid internship, you know that these rules are flouted more routinely than speed limits. But rather than hold up these rules as quixotic laws begging to be violated and laughed at, ask yourself three questions:
- Is there no overlap between paid and unpaid work at your company?
- Can you deny that unpaid internships deny to low-income students an experience that many employers consider mandatory?
- Would a minimum wage salary paid to a handful of students compromise your company’s financial position?
Work is work, no matter who does it. It ought to be paid.

Spent my Sunday afternoon sewing a pillow for my reading nook and I’m pretty happy with the results! I wish I had a sewing machine, it would make things much easier and faster. Now to spend my Sunday evening reading! Since I’ve finished The Old Man and the Sea I’ve started On the Road again. Its been on my list for a while and its time to check it off:)

I cannot imagine an honest person with passing knowledge of unpaid internships in America answering any of those three questions “yes.”
