Photojournalist Replaced by iPhone Uses iPhone to Document Joblessness
Photojournalist Rob Hart was among the 28 staffers laid off when the Chicago Sun-Times decided to get rid of its entire photography department last week. To busy himself, Hart has started a Tumblr, "Laid off from the Sun-Times," that offers a glimpse into what life is like as a freshly unemployed photojournalist.
"Rob Hart was replaced with a reporter with an iPhone," reads the blog's introduction, "so he is documenting his new life with an iPhone, but with the eye of a photojournalist trained in storytelling."
And how does Hart's new life look? Sometimes he uses his unemployment papers as a plate for cold pizza, apparently. Here's hoping it won't be long before he and his colleagues are documenting their fancy new jobs.
