VII photographers John Stanmeyer and Gary Knight will be immersing photographers in a one-week workshop (24-30 July 2005) designed to inspire and expand photographers' vision and the ethics of photojournalism. Organized in small groups, Knight and Stanmeyer will use the lush landscape and rich culture of Bali, Indonesia, as a backdrop to teach how to tell stories with pictures, working on long documentary projects, marketing yourself and greater insight into the photojournalism profession. 16 spaces available. Added information available on the following website, or contact Anastasia Stanmeyer, the workshop organizer.

A terrific discussion about Sebastiao Salgado‘s photojournalism through the years. It's an audio-visual presentation. So, turn your speakers up!

“I just wanted to share the good news, that many of you already know, with everyone — Blueeyes Magazine received 7 awards in the 2005 NPPA Best of Photography awards web division, damn near sweeping the news, features, and sports categories, and also winning the overall Best Photo Story on the web award against the entire field of big bad media outlets for the special collaborative group project ‘Haiti Turns 200.' I'm flattered by the news, and view the entire thing as a reflection of the amazing work that I've been so honored to help share with a lot of others out there looking for great story telling and seeing.”

Congratulations to Blueeyes Magazine editor John Loomis!
