Come Early, Stay Late

It’s not the way to make friends with party hosts, but it is the way to make pictures that tell stories. As a news photographer in the late 1990s, I worked for my hometown paper, a paper that, at the time, boasted some of the best shooters in New England. Getting to work alongside Shannon McHugh-Power, Eddie Hopfmann and Paul...

The Way It Was–Cattle Drives and Contract Shooters

It’s a short documentary on David Burnett and a story he shot for Contact Press Images more than 30 years ago. (Yes, it’s a little hokey looking through the prism of time, but it’s...

“How I Got That Shot of Ayatollah Khomeini”

My admiration for David Burnett is well known, so posting links to his work is an automatic thing at this point.

Rules Are Good

The legendary David Burnett writes about rules and how technology has changed the way photojournalists have worked over his 40 year career. How digital imaging (man, I hate that phrase) made so many of our old means seem quaint. And how, now, we have all new ethical dilemmas to obsess over. I’m actually glad the rules exist (such as they...

Bernie Boston, 74

Bernie Boston has passed. Boston was the D.C. photo chief for the L.A. Times when I met him in 1992. Several of you have heard the story of that very uncomfortable meeting. He was as kind and gracious as any one could ever be, yet I was scared to death he was about to sue me … I wish I’d...

"Caretaking the Rare Glass"

Our friend (I hope he doesn’t mind that) David Burnett has a great post on acquiring a new/old lens – and brings up the idea of not owning older gear but merely being the caretaker of it. I so want a Speed Graphic …
