Today’s photo stars are regulars on lecture circuits, at workshops, seminars, in blogs. I don’t know Eugene Richards personally but I’ve been one of a billion in a lecture hall listing to him speak. David Burnett, Annie Leibovitz, Gary Knight, James Natchtwey, Mary Ellen Mark. All familiar voices.

FishbowlDC reported that Tom Kennedy, managing editor of multimedia at The Washington Post resigned Feb. 3 and will leave the office Feb. 13. A job vacancy at a newspaper?! Where he is going no one is saying (on record).
General industry news. If you are looking for help crafting your proposal as to why your newspaper [...]
Stephen Crowley has a fabulous video of the pool experience at the White House. Rumor says he put an Olympus Stylus point-and-shoot on the side of his Canon 5D. Posted on the NYT Caucus blog last week, worth a look. Image nutgraph:
