    If your stuff is on Digital Railroad, which is shutting down in such an abrupt way as to hose its photographers, you have until midnight on Oct 31st (PST/GMT-8) to migrate your stuff to someplace safe. Even this short time frame was won of hard negotiation.

    This is way off topic for this site, and I have thus far resisted the urge to go off-niche to cover this story. But I am sure that many readers are affected, and DRR simply is not giving its shooters time to migrate in an orderly way.

    Just got this off of Strobist:

    If you are were a client, act fast -- as in now.


    For more info and in-depth coverage:

    • Photo Business Forum, shows exactly how to migrate via FTP (Thanks much for that info, John)
    • Vincent Laforet, expressing the anger felt by many shooters
    • PhotoShelter, just off of a closure of their own, tries to pick up the DRR pieces with help (they negotiated the extension) info, offer
    • PDN Online story , with ongoing coverage at PDNPulse

    prettypixie,

    It's a copy & paste from the Strobist article and the -30- was in there.

    Not unless you count calling HS Baseball, Volleyball, Swimming and Track! ;)

    I do admit though, sometimes I like to throw in the - 30 - just to confuse some of my 'digital only' friends. ;)
