Pros

There is a wealth of knowledge about photography and publishing at Aperture. It is adapting to the new economy, becoming a curator of books published elsewhere as well as publishing the books and magazines that have been their core business in the past as self-publishing continues to be on the rise. Aperture also offers a greater number of hands-on self-publishing workshops than in the past. It's a place where you can be constantly learning.

Cons

As a non-profit photography publisher in the digital age, it was a challenge to adapt to new economic realities. There was quite a bit of pressure on meeting financial targets for projects that were not easy to sell, or raise money for, even though they had great merit

Pros

Everyone there loves photography and has a lot of fun talking about it and discussing it. Some of my most interesting conversations on the subject happened there. It's a thrilling place to be. If you love photography, you'll love spending your nights and weekends with creatives and conversationalists... but if you don't, you might just be frustrated with the lack of personal time.

Cons

As with NGO's everywhere, the questions of funding can be a little overbearing. Overall though, I was extremely pleased with how true to their mission they were.
