Dave LaBelle's reprint of what I call a classic, must-have book for all photojournalists – staff, freelancers, students –The Great Picture Hunt, is out again.
“Like stalking wild game or unearthing hidden treasure, shooting good feature pictures requires instinct and skill.”
More on this book in the near future, but I wanted to pass this info along to you so that you can support this long-running project and much sought after book. I am really drooling over my copy.
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.

When the Pulitzer Prizes were announced recently some bloggers took to arms about the award bestowed to the Associated Press for photography.
Conservatives often claim liberals are just a bunch of whiners. Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?

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