"PITY THE POOR PHOTOGRAPHERS"
Sir,-I would like to congratulate the photographer who took the Dunedin Town Hall flag-pole shot on the cover of a recent Listener (and you for putting it there, of course). In the Otago Centennial Issue you used another fine, story-telling photo of 4ZB staff doing
the parade in Dunedin. Both were eyecatching, well composed, and had excellent depth of focus, a hard thing for both subjects, and appeared to be the work of the same imaginative photographer. Good on him and you for doing them. But (hoping I’ve softened your defences) here’s the attack. Why no credits so we can see who’s responsible for them, and plenty of other good photos you use? You credit the sources of all your literary contributions-why not the same for your picture-space? I think your illustrations are as interesting to some readers as the written columns. Although I am guessing this is some domestic affair of your own, I hope you won’t mind me pitying the poor photographers. The fact that I occasionally take a photo that finds its way into The Listener has had no influence in writing this. Oh dear, no.
