Interview with John Morris

John Morris is a legend, there’s just no other way to frame a discussion about him. A picture editor for Life and The New York Times, he was everywhere, it seemed, when the great images were being made. Think about this: he edited Robert Capa’s D-Day film, producing the iconic image of a soldier crawling up out of the surf,...

Nat Geo DVDs for $25

I’ve already ordered mine … National Geographic is offering their seven DVD set – every issue from 1888 to 2011 – for $25 (plus $6 for shipping). Searchable and you can, allegedly, install this on your hard drive so you don’t have to swap between discs. Now I know what I’m doing for the next ten years … (Thanks to...

Covering the Big Game

Nice piece by David Pierce over at The Verge looking at how Peter Read Miller covers big games, like his 38th Super Bowl Sunday night. There’s a big difference between taking a great picture, and taking a great picture of the game. In sports, the outcome is all that matters, and no matter how pretty a shot you took, it...

Color Controlled Project

We don’t talk about Pantone colors much here, but I love this idea of this project by Alison Anselot of matching food colors to the industry-standard color scheme.

IDs in Wire Service Captions

I am … dumbfounded. Again. Stony Brook University’s Wasim Ahmad has a piece up on iMediaEthics about captions again, this time talking with AFP’s Director of Photography for North America Miaden Antonov. This piece is a result of an earlier piece where Aline Marie talked about no one asking her permission or talking to her after being photographed at a...

Video That Matters

Every spring, I teach a course titled Documentary Photography and, the lest few iterations, I’ve felt a little funny with that name. It’s now about half photography and half video storytelling, because that’s what my kids need. Depending on which conference you head to and what pundit has tweeted most recently, you either believe in video our you don’t. There...

From Doctor to Part-time Photographer

Ten years ago, Dr. Scott Lieberman trained his then-new digital camera on the sky above Texas and documented a horrific scene – the breaking up of Columbia. The image, widely distributed, is iconic now and just as harrowing to look at. Over at the Poynter Institute, Andrew Beaujon has a follow-up story on the doctor who is now stringing for...

The Z-Man Covers His Sixth Super Bowl

Fun, short piece on San Francisco 49ers team photographer Michael Zagaris who is in New Orleans to cover the team for his, and their, sixth Super Bowl appearance. Not bad for a guy who convinced a coach to create a job for him years ago. (Thanks to Rober Bain for the link via the NPPA Facebook group.)
