Burnett Fan Club Post #317

You’re probably sick of me linking to stories about David Burnett. Tough, here’s another one from Film Is Not Dead. And, aside from a massively wrong word choice in the second graf (arrogation in place of inauguration), it’s pretty good as it has Burnett talk about his experience covering the Olympics. Loved this quote: The one worry of the Olympics...

Burnett, Again, from 1969

The new York Times‘ Lens blog is kind of rocking my world … today they have up a set of David Burnett’s images from the 1969 Apollo 11 launch. Burnett, being the genius that he is, didn’t shoot the launch – he was a young Time magazine shooter and wasn’t going to get that gig. So he pitched the idea...

Becoming an Insider

Dave Burnett / ON ASSIGNMENT on PBS 1982 from RelishMIX on Vimeo. This is a wonderful interview from 35 years ago with David Burnett where he talks a bit about his experiences during the Iranian revolution and more on a package he did on Dallas during the reign of the TV show, Dallas. I like to just hang out and...

Lincoln’s Alive

Last month was the 150th anniversary of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, an event marked by many ceremonies and documented, beautifully, by one of my favorites, David Burnett, for Al Jazeera America. Over on Medium, there’s a look into how Burnett used his oldest gear to give the annual meeting of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. Why the old...

So, Who Will Sue First?

“Edgy artist” is not the phrase I would use to describe Richard Prince … thief, perhaps. Or genius – he appears to be convincing someone to spend $100,000 on screenshots of someone else’s bad photographs. (Thanks to David Burnett for the link.)

A Century and a Half of War Photography

Heard this on my local NPR station (WUGA) as I pulled into work this morning, was definitely one of those driveway moments … Susan Stamberg looks at an exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington on 165 years of war photography. It includes interviews with several of my heroes, including David Burnett (who I should probably just create...

The Irregular Olympian

You could pretty easily accuse me of being a David Burnett-fanboy. I would be okay with that. Over at The New York Times’ Lens blog, James Estrin talked with Burnett about heading off to cover his eighth Olympics. I have a lot of friends and colleagues who are headed across the pond and they’re all going to do great work....

On Being Ready

Forty years ago last month, Nick Ut made one of the most iconic images of war ever, a photo of a young Vietnamese girl running, naked, after her village was attacked by her own air force*. The story of that day has been told again and again, the image is in nearly every book on photojournalism. But there were other...
