50 Years Ago … Kennedy on the Campaign Trail

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s presidential election, Life.com has put together a gallery of more than 30 previously unpublished images from the campaign trail. (In fairness, I wish they’d publish a similar gallery of Richard Nixon’s campaign as his may have been the last of its kind.) Looking at the access–of both the press and the...

Personal Project, Socially Relevant

The New York Times‘ Lens blog has a piece up on a project done by editorial and advertising photographer Timothy Archibald and his son, Elijah. Elijah is autistic and his father was struggling to deal with that, so he turned to what he knew best–images–to tell their story, to share their world. The blog entry is fascinating in how Archibald...

UGA Motorsports Workshop Wrap-up

It has been nearly two weeks since my world went very, very quiet. My hearing has recovered and the memories are still pleasant, seems like a good time to talk a bit about the UGA Motorsports Photojournalism Workshop. This is an insane idea, to be honest: Take one class full of college students to one of the premier motorsports events...

Great Shot of a Chip Shot

Really, there’s not much to say that this story doesn’t say itself … The Mail’s Mark Pain stood his ground, even when a gold ball of the club of Tiger Woods was coming right at him.

Field Trip

The Introduction to Photojournalism students from the morning section got a brief walk onto the lawn this morning as we talked a bit about light and portraits. As they took aim at me, I shot back – a burst of nine photos, moving a little to the right each time – because I wanted to try the panorama stitching in...

Denver Post on the Days of Summer

Meghan Lyden is just one of the best picture editors around … she puts together the Denver Post’s Plog (photo blog) and has collected a great set of images looking back at the summer that was. I want to live in about two thirds of those images …

No Photos, Please – But They’re Available For Sale

Over on the NPPA listserv, Mark Hertzberg posted links to a pair of stories that come out of England about a soccer team that is not credentialing photographers this season, instead telling them to buy them from the official photographers. Which lead one paper to, brilliantly, have an illustrator draw the key action moments from the game. A new market...

Some Photographs of the Day

Jennifer Cisney, Kodak’s Chief Blogger, linked, indirectly, to this collection of photos done by Jamie Livingston and it’s worth spending some time on. Actually, she linked to Chris Higgins’ post about the story behind the images, so I’d start there. It’s an awesome collection – for 18 years, Livingston shot one Polaroid photo every day. Right up until the day...

Shoot a Magazine Cover of an iPhone … with an iPhone

No, really – use a cell phone to shoot a full-size magazine cover. Pixel-peepers the world over are cringing right now, but Peter Belanger shot the current Macworld cover with his new iPhone 4. And didn’t retouch it, either. See, it isn’t the camera, is it? As Ansel Adams said, “The single most important component of a camera is the twelve...
