Have been on an odd personal/professional roller coaster. Things have not been the same since Haiti in January. Loads of ups/downs and this year is proving to be life changing.
Along the ride I’ve gotten caught up in photojournalism working on the initial wikileaks report for the Guardian in the UK, and writing/filming/photographing the December cover for Travel and Leisure. On the ride I’ve met some pretty rad people that are forever changing the face of news, mainly because this new breed of photojournalists are morphing into filmmakers. Their work is flawless, stylized, but unfortunately, extremely dangerous and they’re all underpaid.
The one attached to this link, Bill Thomas, is bringing a new look and feel to stories. Check his work out in the NY times and soon on Dan Rather Reports. Awesome new acquaintance and one of the pioneers of the way you intake your news. Looking forward to someday collaborating with him.
Here’s to the new warriors getting paid $300 a day to get shot at in Iraq to bring you the unfiltered truth.
