Photographer political money — 2010 cycle

FEC.gov records $375,730 tagged PHOTOGRAPHER in cycle 2010, from 348 itemized contributions and 166 donors. That is the two-dimension cell, not a restatement of the Photographer hub or the 2010 hub. Lifetime storage for the string is $14,417,201. Photojournalist, videographer, and photographer/owner remain other occupation pages if stored separately.

Key figures

  • Join total: $375,730 for Photographer in the 2010 cycle.
  • Volume: 348 itemized contributions, 166 donors (about 2.1 lines per donor).
  • 2.6% of the $14,417,201 lifetime grouping is this window.
  • Exact string PHOTOGRAPHER; neighboring spellings are other keys.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

The occupation–cycle join for PHOTOGRAPHER

$375,730 is the overlap of occupation Photographer and cycle 2010 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. 348 contributions and 166 donors produced that sum. The occupation-side total $14,417,201 is every harvested cycle for PHOTOGRAPHER, not a 2010-only figure restated.

This page is not a restatement of either hub. The occupation hub drops the year. The cycle hub drops the title. The join keeps both. Photojournalist, videographer, and photographer/owner are other occupation keys if stored separately.

Lifetime $14,417,201 versus the 2010 cell

Subtract $375,730 from $14,417,201 and $14,041,471 remains. That remainder lives on the occupation hub. This page isolates 2010 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

Photographer is self-reported visual-arts occupation. $14,417,201 is not a professional-association budget. $375,730 is not a PAC disbursement.

What 348 receipts are not

348 is a Schedule A line count. It is not 166 one-time gifts. About 2.1 lines per donor is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window.

People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $375,730. Photojournalist, videographer, and photographer/owner are those nearby spellings when stored separately.

Correlation is not causation

A shared year and a shared occupation word are not a causal chain. $375,730 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that people listed as Photographer directed an election, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record.

Lifetime Photographer storage is $14,417,201. Subtract the 2010 cell and $14,041,471 remains. That remainder is 97.4% of the grouping. 2.6% is the 2010 share.

Contributor identities (166) are not a headcount of a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 348 lines from fewer identities. About 2.1 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.

Keeping Photographer 2010 distinct from the hubs

Photographer without 2010 is $14,417,201. 2010 without Photographer is the year hub. Photographer with 2010 is $375,730. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Photographer donations, 2010 election cycle, All occupations, All FEC ties. Anchors stay as supplied in the packet.

Open the 2010 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Photographer remains one cell: $375,730, 348 contributions, 166 donors.

Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $375,730 funded contracts or grants.

All occupations and All FEC ties

All occupations is the index of occupation hubs. All FEC ties is the index of two-dimension pages. Neither index adds dollars into $375,730. Use them to move, not to sum.

Photographer donations remains the occupation-side parent. The 2010 election cycle remains the year-side parent. This /ties/ path is the join explanation.

Photojournalist, videographer, and photographer/owner sit on other occupation pages if those words were typed. PHOTOGRAPHER is the only occupation key used here.

The occupation string PHOTOGRAPHER is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2010 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $375,730 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 166. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (348) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $375,730. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation PHOTOGRAPHER and cycle 2010, then $375,730, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

If a later harvest revises the occupation total $14,417,201 or the cycle cell $375,730, the live hubs and FEC.gov control. This JSON is a packet snapshot.

Party split, recipient names, and employer breakdowns are not fields in this packet. Do not infer them from $375,730. The occupation hub and the 2010 election cycle hub are the next clicks for named committees.

Questions

How much did Photographer-tagged donors give in 2010?
The join records $375,730 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Photographer in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 348 contributions and 166 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $14,417,201, so 2010 is 2.6% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
What fraction of Photographer dollars landed in 2010?
About 2.6%. $375,730 divided by $14,417,201 is the 2010 share for exact string PHOTOGRAPHER. No national 2010 denominator is in the packet. The cell covers 348 contributions and 166 donors. Other years’ dollars are the $14,041,471 remainder. Occupation labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.
Does this count every photographer who donated in 2010?
No. The 166 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to PHOTOGRAPHER in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $375,730 on 348 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate. Photojournalist, videographer, and photographer/owner are other keys if stored separately.
Where are the live Photographer and 2010 tables?
Photographer donations carries the $14,417,201 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Photographer beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Photographer × 2010 intersection only.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
