Be a Journalist

I’m behind in some of my reading so I just got to Jim Colton’s interview with National Geographic’s Dennis Dimmick on the National Press Photographers Association’s Photo Journal page. We talk about being the expert in my class on whatever it is you’re going to cover, but I’m not always sure that comes through. So this will be required reading...

The Chiropractor’s Friend

If It’s There, It’s There

The Charleston (W.V.) Gazette has informed its readers that one of their photojournalists altered a front-page image. Good for the paper to own up to it immediately, but really? There was nothing wrong with the original photo … shoot around it or own it, but don’t alter it.

The news hook for this story seems lad little weak – the president’s photographer, Pete Souza, was recently married in the Rose Garden. Still, the limited access needs to be rectified. “The...

As we near the end of the semester with graduations and holidays approaching, the number of questions I get from students about putting together a kit skyrockets.

Presidents and the Press Photographers

Really nicely curated photo gallery by Dennis Brack over at Politico that looks at the relationships between news photographers and presidents. The cutlines reveal some surprising information on who had warm relationships and who had icy ones.
