Made on an iPhone

There used to be these little logos you would find on web sites that said, “Made on a Mac.” I admit to being geeky enough to having one on my site … for years … But this is even better … a short film shot and edited on the new iPhone 4. “Apple of My Eye” was directed by Michael...

Workflow

Ahhh … someone who is as paranoid as me about workflow and archiving … Chase Jarvis and Co. have put together a 10 minute video on how their photo and video workflow … er … flows. Yeah, that’s it. Watch and learn. (Thanks to Autumn McBride for sending along the link.)

Bruce Davidson and Identifying Myself

This is one of those posts that probably won’t make any sense, even if I wrote it, sat on it and re-wrote it a dozen times. Sorry, sometimes that’s the way it is … The New York Times Lens blog has an entry up on Bruce Davidson that promotes his new, three volume book set. Davidson is one of those...

My New Hero

The NBC station in Chicago has a story up about Keith Davis who decided to create a newspaper and web site to cover his home town of Annawan, Illinois. Why? According to the story: “We don’t have a paper in town, and the ones around us don’t really cover a lot of local news,” the seventh-grader said. “I had to...

The Ethics of Realty Photos

I was horrified (though not surprised) to see this post on Curbed.com and relieved to see the comments about doctored photos in real estate listings. Hopefully not many people are buying houses without actually visiting them. Very refreshing to see real people worrying about ethics. (Thanks to Mark Hertzberg for the link via the NPPA discussion list.)

New America Media Presentations

I took a ride out to the Gwinnett campus of the University of Georgia last week to do a pair of presentations for New America Media. I was asked to post them online so they could share, so here they are, along with links to the stories I showed. Multimedia on the Cheap Growing Up With the Black Forest Bakery...

Journalists and the Law

Not in a cout-of-law sense, but an on-the-street sort of law, journalists are seeing increased awareness of the presence by law enforcement personnel – and not necessarily in a good way. A recent article on Gizmodo highlighted several instances of questionable arrests and detainments. Al Tompkins at the Poynter Institute went a few steps further in talking with a couple...

Inside the Mexican Suitcase

A neat look at what may – or may not – be in The Mexican Suitcase, which was brought to light in 2007 containing lost negatives from Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour. (Thanks to Greg Mironchuk for the link.)

Buying and Managing Your Multimedia Gear

Years ago, when I realized I was heading towards the world of photojournalism, I bought a serious camera bag – the legendary Domke F2. In the 1980s, it was the bag to have – durable, flexible, adaptable and, well, you looked cool carrying it – especially once it started to wear-in. (I still have my original one, it is beyond...

AP Video Journalist Dives in the Gulf Oil Slick

Journalism is about commitment, about knowing what your readers need to see (and hear) and bringing them to places they can’t go. Associated Press video journalist Rich Matthews did just that. Read about his account and the Editor & Publisher story.
