David Burnett’s Return to Chile

Great piece by Nathan Thornburgh looking at the images David Burnett made 40 years ago in Chile. How often do photojournalists get a chance to go back and revisit their early work? (Thanks to Tom O’Connor, another Burnett junkie, for the link.)

David Burnett on Digital Imagine

And, of course, a bunch of other things over in an interview with John Camp at The Online Photographer. It’s in two parts, the first dealing with some of what he’s doing day to day and the second delving a bit into some ethical questions. Here’s a graf I love: In the end, when you analyze the characteristics of Tri-X,...

David Burnett's look at D-Day veterans

David Burnett is one of my heroes, and getting to meet him in person two years ago was a great moment for me. His passion for stories is admirable, but it’s his passion for telling ongoing stories I find most remarkable. He doesn’t shoot assignments, he tells stories – and sometimes those stories take years to unfold. Over on Time.com,...

David Burnett (are you sick of him yet? I am not)

David Burnett‘s show is up at the Georgia Center and he’s made his public talk … and we’re all better for it. Really, we are. After picking him up in Atlanta, we stopped to shoot a 81-year-old World War II vet who jumped into Normandy in 1944. And in 1994. And again in 2004 … the guy is a true...

Jarecke Interviews Burnett

Very late in spotting this, but Kenneth Jarecke interviewed David Burnett a while back about covering the Olympics in Sochi. One question, asked well, framed everything for me: I see many photographers working to not miss an image instead of working to make an image that is really special. How do you approach the events? And that, to me, is...

Yeah … More Burnett

David Burnett did a session at B&H Photo, talking about his work … I think I’ve seen almost everyone of these images, and I still couldn’t click away. Need to get him here in Athens again.

Burnett at the Olympics

I will never deny that I find something magical in David Burnett’s work. After more than 40 years in the business, he is continually pushing to find new ways to tell stories. The early work was straightforward documentary work – this happened, this is why it’s important. His later work, as he’s experimented with older cameras and techniques, has been...
