Florence Thompson Never Lost Hope

You may or may not recognize the name, but once you see her face, you’ll remember. I’m not seeing a date on this, but I’d guess this Bob Dotson piece was done in the 1980s. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy (Thanks to Slaid Cleaves for the link, who has nothing to do with...

Grady College’s Bluejeans Workshop – March 23

If you’re anywhere near Athens on Saturday, March 23, get yourself over to Grady College for the annual Bluejeans Workshop. It runs from 8:30 to 4:30 and it’s cheap – just $35 for the whole day, and that includes lunch. (Price goes up after March 18.) It opens with a panel discussion that has been phenomenally good in the past,...

A Photo That Speaks 1,000 Words

The Washington Post has a short piece up about pollution in Beijing that you need to go look at. The story offers no surprises, no new information, but if ever photos told a story better than words, this is it. (Thanks to Jason Flynn for the link.)

Ozzie Sweet Has Passed

Over at the New York Times, Bruce Weber has a story up on the life of Ozzie Sweet, one of the most prolific photographers of the 20th century. It’s not all journalism, but then he never called himself a journalist. He considered himself not a news photographer but a photographic illustrator, and like the work of the painter Norman Rockwell,...

Nothing Is Free

Not much to say about this … (Thanks to my good friend Woody Marshall for the link.)

Will Watchup Work?

There’s a new iPad app called Watchup that, if you have an iPad and are concerned about journalism, you should look at. The free app will let you collate video streams and then play them back automatically – essentially, you can curate your morning news show and then set it to run while you do other things. I grabbed it...

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...

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...
