[UPDATED]

I’m going through the French Quarter Festival lineup to find publicity photos for the artists playing to accompany copy. I’m a day in and have only found one photo for someone I was looking for. Why do the same people get their pictures in papers and magazines? Because they have them. Why do so many people get left out? Because they don’t. Is it really news in 2009 that these things matter?

Update 3:15 p.m.

For those who don’t know, they need to be minimum 300 dpi. Shots from your phone won’t work on the page, and they really ought to be done by at least a semi-pro because really, the equipment and experience really count in photography.
