    Milton Rogovin - Social Documentary Photographer

    Quoted: "In 1984, after an absence of twelve years, I returned to the Lower West Side of Buffalo, NY to rephotograph the individuals and families who continued to live in that area. Then, eight years later, after overcoming heart surgery and cancer treatment, I again returned to the Lower West Side to complete a series of Triptychs. The photographs in this series document the lives of the people over a 20 year span." Milton Rogovin

    Quoted: Included in this series are photos taken both indoors or outside the homes. There are photographs of changes of homes and storefronts over time as well. Milton and Anne were able to reconnect with 60 families.

    Great article on the dangers of hiring "unpaid interns". Besides not being "fair" - it's also illegal. Employers should not be asking their employees to work for less than minimum wage if they are producing valuable work product for them.

    About the only safe thing is to have interns shadow an employee to watch them work. You could also offer them training, and have them work on independent projects that are non-commercial.

    Any non-founder employee at a startup also needs to be paid at least minimum wage (though this may be able to be paid in equity - check with your lawyer).

    Quoted: "All it takes is one disgruntled intern, or their parent or spouse or friend, to call the U.S. Department of Labor, and the company who follows this type of exploitative advice is toast,"
