Les Shu, Digital Trends

> Snapwire is the stock photo agency for the Instagram and mobile generation. As Newell, Snapwire’s founder and CEO, puts it, Snapwire gives mobile photographers a great way to succeed in doing what they love, “because there are so many talented photographers that sort of dream about building a life around photography.” It takes a stock agency approach to licensing images, but it changes the formula, in that photographers get 70 percent of the cut and retains all rights.

*** One Fish, Three Meals: Paul Greenberg Makes The Case For Americans To Get Hip To Seafood ***
<http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/one-fish-three-meals-paul-greenberg-makes-the-case-for-americans-to-get-hip-to-seafood/2014/06/20/81621532-f725-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html>
Jane Black, Washington Post

> Author Paul Greenberg was standing in his Manhattan kitchen, cleaver in hand. He had already fluidly removed two fillets from a gleaming red snapper, shipped overnight from the Gulf of Mexico. Now it was time to take off the head, which he would use to make a spicy Korean soup. “This,” he said with a laugh, “is where it gets gnarly.” Then with a swift chop he severed the fish’s head from its body.



*** Citizen Bezos ***
<http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2014/jul/10/citizen-bezos-amazon/>
Steve Coll, The New York Review Of Books

> As Stone notes, “Amazon is a masterly navigator of the law.” And crucially, as in so many other fields of economic policy, antitrust law has been reshaped in recent decades by the spread of free-market fundamentalism. Judges and legislators have reinterpreted antitrust law to emphasize above all the promotion of low prices for consumers, which Amazon delivers, rather than the interests of producers—whether these are authors, book publishers, or mom-and-pop grocery stores—that are threatened by giants.



*** Ebooks V Paper ***

Julian Baggini, Financial Times

> Which do our brains prefer? Research is forcing us to rethink how we respond to the written word.



*** The Beltway Myth ***

Elizabeth Drew, The New York Review Of Books

> There’s nothing particularly special about a beltway—some twenty cities around the country have one—and the Washington version has long since become so congested and odiferous that those who live in its environs avoid it if possible. Maybe it’s time to apply the same approach to the Beltway metaphor, which is increasingly employed as a substitute for serious analysis.
