ONPA Secretary Chris Parker reports that allofficers nominated have been elected to their posi-tions for a two-year term beginning April 1.Election vote totals: Bob DeMay, Chairman of theBoard - 47; Ed Suba, President - 46; JonathanQuilter, Still Vice President - 46; Kimberly Barth,Treasurer - 47; Chris Parker, Secretary - 48

There were no nominations for television vicepresident. Five different people received one write-in vote each for the office, only two of which wereeven members.

The board will meet to hopefully appointsomeone to fill the term. The next order of businessfor the board and convention committee will be toprepare for this years meeting being held at theColumbus Airport Marriott, April 18-19.

While speaker have not been selected for theevent there is already an incentive for attendees.Vendor chairman Phil Long has secured the servic-es of Midwest Camera Repair from Detroit whowill be on site to perform camera clean & checks.

This service was a staple of conventions yearsago, however vendors have shied away from small-er groups in recent years. ONPA is picking up thetab as a service to the membership.

Contest entries are in so POY titles are up forgrabs. WJW-TV and The Plain Dealer have hadstrangleholds on the POY crown in recent years.

This will be the first year for web publishedentries having their own contest. Categories foraudio slideshows, video and multimedia wereincluded. This being the first year we used NPPArules as a guideline and will revisit the rules as wesee how things work out.

Darts and laurels both to the Associated PressSociety to rules changes for this years contest. Dartissued for eliminating the general news category. Alot of great work by photographers is going to gounrecognized with this change.

Laurels awarded for converting from prints todigital entries, although they could keep the planeta little greener by letting newspapers submitting allentries on one disk. Laurels as well for including avideo component to the contest and for the strictlimit on number of entries.

When the ONPA contest went to digital entriesin the still contest it seems everyone entered themaximum whether the pictures were worthy or not.Its probably time to revisit the rules as they pertainto number of entries. If you’ve ever sat through twodays of judging you’ll know from where I speak.

On another contest front there is speculationthe NPPA will begin to accept digital entries for themonthly clip contest at some point this year.

Sadly the year ended with the final edition ofThe Cincinnati Post after publishing for 126 years.Another voice silenced, one less watchdog and onceagain more journalists out of a job.

Bob DeMayONPA Board Chairman

Chairman chatter


We’ve become a country that tunes in or reads themessage it wants to hear. Political leanings seem to dic-tate what broadcast or publication is relevant to onesnews habits.

You often hear of the “liberal paper” or “right wingnetwork”. Usually someone critical of particular mediaoutlets coverage of a story applies the tag.

Same set of facts, different stories. If you have nohorse in the race, you read both stories and draw yourown conclusions.

Of course there are many times the media is usedand controlled for the dog and pony show of the day.We’ve all been on the campaign trail and been corralledby handlers into a position which will insure the candi-date controls what will be included in your shot.

Today we find ourselves covering press releasephoto-ops or getting the obligatory environmental por-trait. It takes time, planning and people to do the jobright and there is little of any in most newsrooms todayso most take the easy way out. It’s as frustrating now asan assigning editor as it was for me as a photographer.

Working in Youngstown there were only a handfulof situations that seemed to free me from being handledby the subject or the newsroom, who had their own wayof throwing a monkey wrench into things.

There was only one party rule in Youngstown, butplenty of politics. It was Youngstown so there was plen-ty of crime. Sometimes the criminals were the politi-cians.

I always found that courtrooms and election nightswere always great stories to cover. The final outcomerelied on the vote of a jury or the electorate, real lifeplayed out without the help of editors or handlers.

That was also true on the playing field. I alwayslooked at it as spot news with rosters. Anticipate, focusand capture a storytelling images. Sports grew to be myescape from all the daily trappings of the newsroom.

That sports sanctuary bubble has now burst. Yes they still play the games, but everything that

surrounds them smells like a pair of old running shoes.It’s all about the money, right down to the high schoollevel.

You need a scorecard right now just to keep trackof the lawsuits in Illinois between the state press andhigh school athletic associations. Access and secondaryuse of photos is at the heart of the issue.

Even second tier professional sports have gotteninto the act. News agencies boycotted Cricket Australiaafter they demanded payment to license images for edi-torial use and wanted to impose restrictions on websites.

Of course if the news agencies aren’t covering thecontests I’m sure Cricket Australia will be all too happyto supply images taken by their photo agency. Justdon’t look for anything that might portray CricketAustralia in a bad light.

A similar situation between the media and theInternational Rugby Board threatened coverage of theRugby World Cup until an agreement was reachedhours before the first match.

Behind closed doors you know that the suits ofprofessional and big time college sports are drafting

their own variations of the rules from down under.While the red vest was getting all the ink, the NFL

reversed its decision of last year to limit local televisioncoverage. While local television was granted access,strict limits were placed on the video use, both on theair and online.

The addition of local television has tightened cre-dentials for still photographers despite room beingavailable on the sidelines. It’s just the tip of the iceberg.Leagues and teams with their own networks will onlymake matters worse. It’s just a matter of time.

The NCAA didn’t want left out of the sports gov-erning bodies making a mess of things circus. In Junethey revoked the credential of Louisville CourierJournal sports reporter Brian Bennett. He was asked toleave the University of Louisville’s super regionalbaseball game for blogging during the game.

Shame on you fans for wanting to keep abreast ofyour team in action. It’s not about you; it’s about everylast dollar some sanctioning body can suck out of thesport.

And the television networks want you photogra-phers quit whining about their rights paid for photogra-pher chasing the runner down the third baseline. Theydon’t care about your stinking pictures anyway. Theyand Major League Baseball prefer history captured ontelevision, thank you very much.

For a sport that loves to embrace it’s history andrecord book MLB has certainly dropped the ball pre-serving that history. For the second year in a row theBaseball Hall of Fame is not having a photo contest dueto the lack of a sponsor.

There’s more money floating around the leaguethan a crooked politician in Youngstown would knowwhat to do with, but they can’t spring a few bucks topreserve history and recognize the best work of photog-raphers.

Can you say, what’s wrong with this picture? Maybe if we promise to wear a little red vest they

will resume the contest.I paid my first visit to Yankee Stadium during the

playoffs last season. Many of baseball legends werecaptured by photographers as the baseball history bookwas written. That visual history is not apparent sittingin your seat in the Bronx, but a walk through the hall-ways beneath the ballpark you get a great sense of justwhere you are.

Now mind you I was raised to hate this team, sothis isn’t some crazed Yankee fan talking. I may not likeem, but I can appreciate the history of the franchise asa baseball fan.

It’s sad to think if things keep going the way theyare there will be a lot less history hanging in baseball’shallowed halls and other venues in years to come.

It’s hard to imagine where the lunacy will stop. I’dmake a prediction but before you could say RogerClemens took steroids they’ll be rolling out the BudLight beer frame in high school bowling.

What’s a photographer to do? I’d go shoot T-ball but parents screwed that up a

long time ago.
