|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board "I paid too much attention to the 'ethics' of journalism" Greg Kendall-Ball, Photographer, Assistant Abilene | TX | USA | Posted: 4:10 PM on 06.03.10 ->> http://www.petapixel.com/2010/06/03/interview-with-zoriah-miller/ Reading through this interview with controversial photographer Zoriah, this is what stood out: "I think in the beginning I paid too much attention the “ethics” of photojournalism." I know he's taken some flak here for his Haiti worskhop, but this really seems to take the cake....  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

But I am curious does Zoriah "work" for anybody? I am not sure I totally follow that part. He said he was fed up with agencies etc. So does that mean he shoots and sells his pics to galleries?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Awards? From whom? Featured? Where... SPECIFICALLY. The resume quickly breaks down when questions are asked. Mister Miller is a great self-promoter but Phineas Taylor Barnum managed to live a fine life in great style with little more. IOW Mr. Miller is an asshole.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

This was basically Zoriah's original post on his blog, offering a four person, $4000 a head "workshop" on how to shoot a disaster during the aftermath in Haiti: http://bit.ly/b74Cc3 And this was the first SS thread decrying the situation: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=35318 And Zoriah's response to 'why the critics were wrong': http://bit.ly/cKvTb7 And, finally, Zoriah's personal response to the SS community through this thread: http://www.sportsshooter.com/message_display.html?tid=35401  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
