Wall Street Journal Article on Cruise Ship Photographer

Today's Wall Street Journal had a front page article on a photographer who specializes in taking pictures of Cruise ships. That is the ships, not the passengers. Needless to say his business has dried up (pun intended) along with the cruise ship industry. He shoots the outside, all amenities, etc. He charges as much as $75,000 for a two week shoot of a new cruise ship. The article can be found at this link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/cruise-ship-photographers-once-in-a-lifetime-shot-anchors-just-out-of-reach-11589379290?shareToken=st098759ce1e1f4468977f2516b42486eb

Sorry, didn't realize that. I thought they would give others a one time look.

I had a WSJ subscription for several years - then they really angered me and I left them - never looked back.

My subscription was on auto pay with my CC. One morning I didn't get my my paper & called to notify the WSJ. Their response "Your subscription has expired." What??? A week or two later my CC got a refund from the WSJ for the unexpired portion of my subscription.

I figured any news organization with that poor control on their own customers has no business reporting on business.

Facinating story.. I assume the cruise lines own his previous photos so he can’t utilize them in the creation of future calendars, books etc.
