Time for Shooting

The Image Deconstructed has an interview up with Leah Nash where she talks about a project she’s working on documenting a woman with Aspergers Syndrome, a form of high-functioning autism. Some nice insights into working with folks that exist in a sometimes closed community. (Thanks to Melissa Lyttle for the link.)

On Patience

Over at the New York Times’ Lens blog, Kerri MacDonald has a short interview up with Jared Soares where he talks about the impact of one of my favorite images by Sam Abell. I remember studying that photo for hours. I would look at that photo, then I would run off to a country fair and I would try to...

What Did You Do for Labor Day?

I, apparently, was a lazy sloth … because, as Michael Koretzky writes on his blog Journoterrorist, he helped lead a journalism workshop inside a homeless shelter down in Florida. Yep. Twenty students from around the country came to town and spent 36 hours inside a homeless shelter, reporting, shooting, writing and designing a 20 page edition of the Homeless Voice....

Ten Years Later

Thomas E. Franklin made one of the iconic images from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks of three fire fighters raising a flag amidst the rubble of the collapsed World Trade Center. To mark the tenth anniversary of that horrible day, he has put together a short documentary that talks to several of the photojournalists who were there that day....

The Next Kitchen Table, er … Newspaper

Nieman Labs has a fascinating video up about the next kitchen table … developed by the New York Times’ R&D Lab. WANT THIS. New York Times R&D Lab: The kitchen table of the Future from Nieman Journalism Lab on Vimeo. I do wish the videographer hadn’t tried to shoot part of this as a vertical, though … lesson learned, I...

Lewis Hine as Photographer, Activist and Character

James Estrin has a great interview up with Alison Nordstrom about the Lewis Hine exhibit she has curated for the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris. The collection of images over at the Lens blog on the New York Times site is great, but it’s the interview with Nordstrom that really interests me. She has deeply studied not just his work...

Prepping for a Career or Prepping for Life

Every now and then I have to remind the students in my photojournalism courses that I am not there to make them into photojournalists, that I am not giving them career training. They look confused until I remind them that the purpose of a university education is not to get you a job, but to make you into a productive...

The Sky Cowboys

Great piece by Damon Winter for the New York Times on ironworkers changing the skyline of New York. Beautifully shot, but pay close attention to the audio work – he layering of sounds, the pacing of the voices, the tight, tight editing … all done by one of my former classmates, Pamela Chen. You could close your ideas and still...
