Shoot or Help

Marrary Jean Tenore has a story up at the Poynter Institute that talks with Tuscaloosa News photojournalist Dusty Compton about the already-iconic image of the massive tornado that rolled over the city.

The Only Post I Hope to Write on The Wedding

Curious what it will take to cover the Royal Wedding? Check out this post from one of the shooters who will be out there. Reuters will have 15 shooters out there, though they won’t be running around with all of that gear. My guess is they’ll be locked into place hours before the event starts and stuck there until hours...

I’ve seen photos from the Holi festival in India several times before, but had no idea they celebrate it in … Utah? Yeah, Utah. Retuers’ Jim Urguhart covered the event earlier this month and posted on the company’s blog about his experiences there.

Disaster Diptychs

It’s a phrase Scott Strazzante has used for a while in his on-going Common Ground project, but it popped into my head while looking at a collection of images shot by Retuers’ Carlos Barria in Japan and Haiti.

Rich Clarkson on His Own Sports Photography

Catching up on my photo blogs … another from the Denver Post with images and commentary from Rich Clarkson, arguably one of the two deans of sports photography over the last 50 years. Clarkson has probably trained more great sports shooters then everyone else combined.

Vietnam Revisited

The deaths of Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros last week have a lot of people revisiting the idea of war photography.
