Talk about economic recovery! New Hampshire welcomed back the Claremont Eagle Times. The newspaper shut the doors and laid everyone off in July 2009. The new owner is Sample News Group - a company that owns several local papers along the east coast. By my research, the two are perfect partners. Both entities fly very [...]
A quick and torrential rain just fell through my office window drenching the curtains. In a second floor apartment, one doesn’t worry too much about flash floods. Terrible flooding in Manila after tropical storm Ketsana raged for nine hours. Areas under 20 feet of water. Storm namers need to retire the letter ‘K’ for a [...]
Maybe Serena’s yelling spree put me in the mood for painful sports images. Or I could be cranky on Mondays. Either way, when I saw Mike Cassese’s Reuters photo of a foul ball embedded in the cheek of Minnesota Twins Justin Morneau - I went looking for more peak action moments of the uncomfortable sort.
Not [...]
The paper fills an open photo staff position. Unheard of in the recession! Welcome Chris Evans. I asked Director of Photography Jim Mahoney about our new Boston photo friend, a transplant from Springfield. If you haven’t checked out the Herald’s photo and media page yet - run to look. Showcasing more galleries and photographer work.
For [...]
“So I grabbed my camera, because when you see police, you know something’s going on.’’ A victory for citizen journalism. Big round zero for the pros. The Boston Globe tracked down new amateur photographer William B. Carter who snapped the now famous photo of Gates on his front porch in handcuffs. Carter, a retired bank [...]
Lucky day for blog readers. Every month or so I google various photographers I know and like to catch up with their work. While looking for D.C. photographer Hector Emanuel, I came across an entry about him on Verve Photo - a documentary photography blog by Geoffrey Hiller.
Hector joins 23 other NPPA members who have [...]
The photographers in Maine are a sturdy bunch. Andy Molloy, a staffer at the Kennebec Journal, was out on a feature the second week of July. He stopped to photograph a few guys swimming in a local watering hole near a dam. As Molloy worked the scene, one of the men swimming drifted too close [...]
Hurray Scott Kingsley for stating the fact and making my Monday a little brighter. A girl can get a complex after six months in job search mode doesn’t bring in any offers. File under misery loves company. I like when media colleagues express my reality - no jobs people, no jobs. Validation. Corroboration. Substantiation. Kingsley [...]
The WOMEN BY WOMEN show is on display at Boston University until March 31, 2009 (It went up in February). Yes, the Women Photojournalists of Washington traveling show has landed in Boston. Do not miss. I’ll be visiting this lovely hallway gallery - two of my photos were selected. So if you like women and [...]
New Hampshire where you live free or die. That motto takes on a whole new meaning in a bad economy. We are returning to our regional state-by-state review of member photographers who post their sites on the NPPA “Find a Photographer” feature. The Monday Happy Nugget belongs to Kevin Jacobus.
For those who are new, and [...]
