Trey Ratcliff, best known for his HDR work on his Stuck in Customs blog (and book), gave a talk last week at Google. It’s about an hour long and is a great overview of his take on photography, a look at quite a few of his photos, art and science, and attention as currency. Check it out:

Today Google announced Google Places, a database/directory of location-specific information building on the existing Google Maps and Google Local Business services. The big news from a photography standpoint is that Google will send a photographer to a business location and take interior photos at no cost to the business owner.
Presumably Google will be contracting with local photographers to perform these services although I haven’t heard anything directly and there’s no real information from Google on how they are hiring photographers. What will this mean for the commercial photographers not hired by Google? I don’t know. My suspicion is that Google will use low-cost photographers and will be paying below the current market rates for their services (which, in turn, will drive down the market rates).
We’ve seen various areas of photography become devalued (stock, anyone?). Will Google’s entry into this market drive commercial photography rates in a race towards zero?
