Study Photojournalism in Berlin Next Summer

John Freeman at the University of Florida has been running a summer photojournalism program in Berlin for the last few years and it is something worth looking into. Several of my students have gone and all have reported back that it was a great experience. The two weeks (May 20-June 2) in Berlin costs under $1900 (plus airfare) and they...

The President’s Photographer

Pete Souza is on his second tour as a presidential photographer and CBS profiled him and his work recently. The thought of the access makes many photojournalists drool, I’m sure …

A Third I

I love journalism, photojournalism, visual journalism and photography. And I love them in that order. I like art, but admit I often do not understand it. So this Wall Street Journal article on a New York University photography professor who is going to have a camera embedded into his head totally baffles me. The images will be broadcast into a...

50 Years Ago … Kennedy on the Campaign Trail

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s presidential election, Life.com has put together a gallery of more than 30 previously unpublished images from the campaign trail. (In fairness, I wish they’d publish a similar gallery of Richard Nixon’s campaign as his may have been the last of its kind.) Looking at the access–of both the press and the...

Personal Project, Socially Relevant

The New York Times‘ Lens blog has a piece up on a project done by editorial and advertising photographer Timothy Archibald and his son, Elijah. Elijah is autistic and his father was struggling to deal with that, so he turned to what he knew best–images–to tell their story, to share their world. The blog entry is fascinating in how Archibald...

Ansel Adams, Street Shooter

No lie … NPR has a gallery of images Ansel Adams donated to the Los Angeles Public Library in the 1960s. It is very un-Adams like in some frames – tilted horizons that, to me, are fairly jarring in their carelessness. Still, the photos have a historical value … a value that he did not understand at the time of...

International Relations, Photojournalism and Pelé

Sitting in my office a few minutes ago, a newspaper came sliding under the partially-closed door. My name, in the classic red ink of Professor Conrad Fink, and his initials, above an obit piece on John Varley. It’s an interesting read about a photograph I’ve seen before but didn’t really comprehend that well. Varley, a British news photographer, made the image...

John Loengard on Being a Picture Editor

John Loengard has a guest post over on Scott Kelby’s site, and it’s an entry that every aspiring photographer and picture editor has to read. The role of the picture editor is, perhaps, the most misunderstood one in the communication industry. No one likes their picture editor – not the photographers nor the editors on high. But the role a...

Uhh, Really? A Musical About an FSA Photographer?

I am as big a fan of Dorothea Lange as you will find. Take away all the issues around her life, just her work alone is amazing stuff. But to make a musical about her life? Uhhh … hmmm … okay, I won’t pass judgement on this. Because, well, I like the overture … oh, wait, I just listened to...

The 1930s and 1940s, in Color

I’ve posted links to some similar collections, but the Denver Post has, again, eclipsed everyone else with their collection of color images from the 1930s and 1940s. Maybe it’s just me, but these images are fascinating because we’re so used to seeing the subjects in black and white.
