A sad day

Sports Illustrated is an American magazine that has had a huge impact on the world of photography.  It's image heavy content has been popular around the world since 1954.

Not only sports stars graced the cover of the magazine.  The like of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Brad Pitt even Shirley MacLaine and Sesame Street's Big Bird have all been there.  Men will no doubt forget the swimsuit issues.

Such is the influence of the magazine and it's photographers that amateurs clamor  to emulate their style.

So the news that the magazine is to lay-off the last six of its staff photographers comes as a bit of a shock.

We would like to wish those people every luck for the future.
