The Sun-Times let go its photography staff in favor of more multimedia and reporters with iPhones.
A throwback to my last day. In the last year I’ve went from F$CK YOU! to Thank You! The Sun-Times allowed me to grow as a photographer, journalist and a human being. They showed me what it means to care about your community. Allowed me to go into thousands of homes, thousands of lives. Trusted me to always be accurate, and represent them in everything I did. They gave me the greatest viral marketing campaign any person could ask for to be self employed. I owe them a lot.

Thank god this one is a joke.
As the Sun-Times braces for more editorial layoffs, the company is bringing back four of the photographers it fired last spring.
I wouldn’t go back. Would you?

I really like the Sun-Times cover here, but would like to point out that it is an AP photo.
