Reading the World Press Photo FInalists

There is not one photo that begins a dialogue, that poses a question, that does anything other than hit us upside the head.
The question of what’s the purpose of an image is a long, deep one. Is it just to document?
My belief is that a great new photograph is designed to inform, to educate and to resonate.

Tis the season to seek out fame and, possibly, fortune … the White House News Photographer Association’s Student Contest is accepting entries until February 1.
There is a $25 fee to enter, but that can be applied towards a student membership … which is also $25. So, you can join and enter for the same $25 bucks. Not a bad deal.
Alexia Foundation Entries Now Being Accepted
Jan 3, ’17
11:34 AM
The Alexia Foundation has opened their call for grant applications for both professional and student entries. The professional prize is worth $20,000, the student prize is a semester’s undergraduate tuition at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University – that’s worth about $21,000.
Professional deadline is January 31, student deadline is February 14. There’s no fee for students to enter, $50 for pros.
Disclaimer: I am a twice-peeled Syracuse alum and worked for the foundation while I was a graduate student. The foundation was created by the parents of Alexia Tsairis, one of 35 SU students who were killed in December 1988 when a terrorist exploded a bomb on board Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. I was a first-semester student then and Alexia was a promising photojournalism student returning from a semester studying in London.

Her story, about a young boy who survived being beaten nearly to death, is exactly the type of work that should be celebrated – it is heartbreaking and hopeful, it speaks to the need to slow down and spend time on a story, to find the little moments that help us understand.
This is a story to study and celebrate.
