Just got these from external links
Just got these from external links, dumping them here in case they may prove useful someday.
The article does not appear to have more than one independent, reliable source (others clearly run back to this photographer; even the one that may be reliable i'm uncertain about). At any rate, i've added a sourcing tag.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
The one source
... looks kind of iffy as i investigate. It's takegreatpictures.com, which is "brought to you by the PhotoImaging Information Council" which sounds more like an industry/promotional group rather than a reliable, independent source. Ah, [[1]] this describes what the information council is: It's "sponsored by PMDA (PhotoImaging Manufacturers and Distributors Association), PMA (Photo Marketing Association) and leading manufacturers in the photographic and digital imaging fields."
As such it looks more and more like an industry promotional source. If the conesnus is i'm write about this (i'll ask around) this whole article may have to go.Bali ultimate (talk) 15:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Sources section
Just dumping here. Shouldn't be in article. If any of these are reliable sources with new, relevant info, should be woven into text and cited.

- I am not certain where it says that Jason Schneider is author of that article for VisionAge "Behind the Shot: Jerry Avenaim", so I have attributed it in the citation to "VisionAge staff". Cirt (talk) 22:54, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
