"Last Stop"

The New York Times has a neat multimedia feature up on the city’s subway system. But they’re done it with a little twist: Ever wonder where the train goes after you get off? The rode all of the lines to the end, and then did photos, audio slide shows or videos about the areas at the end of the lines....

On Marginalized Women

Outside of the realm of photojournalism, but certainly worth looking at – Women are Heroes is a project looking at marginalized women, photographing them and then displaying their images in their communities.

"Aloft" David L. Ryan Talks About Shooting from the Air (and not about bigfoot, alicia sacramone or ricky berens)

Boston Globe photojournalist David L. Ryan has long been known for his aerial photography, and now there’s an audio slide show of him talking about it. (If you looked really carefully, you might see me in the Boston Marathon photos. I can’t see me, but maybe you could …)

A 14 Year Journey

Scott Strazzante and MediaStorm have published his story looking at the transition of a farm into a sub-division, as told through the farm’s family and one of the new home’s families. It is awesome.

And One More …

Not as blatant as the Iranian missile mess, but maybe as sensational as some of Weegee’s work … further research has shown that the image of a baby with two legs casts on may not be what it originally was reported.

Weegee in the Times

Weegee was the first real spot news photographer in a lot of people’s eyes. Born Usher Fellig, when his family came through Ellis Island he changed his name to Arthur, he prowled the streets of New York City from the mid-1930s through the late 1940s, always first on a crime scene with his Speed Graphic and cigar. The New York...

"Pay More Attention"

That title is a bit of a play on what this post is about. In, ahem, January 2007, my colleague Tim Atherton launched a blog – Muse-ings. I noted its existence and made a note to follow it … sigh, then never did. I stumbled across the note this morning and started poking at it. I came across one recent...

Joe McNally on Junk Piles and Herschel Walker

Over on Joe McNally’s blog, he talks about a workshop he was teaching and, at the tail end of it, is a little bit about shooting covers for national magazines, this one on UGA’s own Herschel Walker. Probably of more interest locally than non-locally …
