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.

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.

“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.

If you want a glimmer of hope, check out the Newsweek article about consumer savings, confidence and [...]
Break from the regional talent search to remind photographers that listening to other photographers talk can be a good thing. Last week, Jim Dow gave a wonderful presentation at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston for the American Society of Picture Professionals. He reminded us all the importance of being grounded in a [...]
One of my specialties as a photo editor is the inter/national assignment. On the blog, I tend to talk about photographers on a global scale more than from a local, region 1 perspective. So last week, I challenged myself to a local talent search. First state: Massachusetts. Source: the NPPA ‘Find a Photographer’ service. I [...]
