I always assumed that Mazen Dana would make it to his next assignment... Of embeds, unilaterals, sat phones, sandstorms, and a divisive conflict the world has had to see to believe. Early February 1972, a Thursday. I have been bureau chief for NBC News London since September 1969... I couldn't take it anymore. So, I confessed: I dodge and burn... Prior to launching Music Television (MTV) in 1981, then Executive V.P. Robert Pittman... Newsweek Photo's biggest problem with the power outage was working in the knowledge that our main competitor... While I was figuring out why my electricity was cut off I got a phone-call from my newspaper in Holland... I always have terrible luck with big stories breaking in the middle of my vacation... I f Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean weren’t in politics he would make a great revivalist preacher... A picture editor for a national weekly trade publication recently wrote to me... For the last couple of years my identification badge at Visa Pour L’Image... It used to be that when you were street shooting someone... Okay. So you've got a bunch of really good photographs by a world famous photographer... Through the glass of my office at my last News Director position stood the bumper sticker... |

Photojournalism may be coming to a major cross roads... It's not quite 7 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2003. Wind is howling, the rain pouring down... I have always wanted to photograph a candidate on a campaign tour, but I never thought I would end up on the "California Comeback Express" with gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger... The antsy pack of journalists crowded the posh Pacific Palisades neighborhood street awaiting the arrival of Arnold Schwarzenegger to cast his ballot in the recall election... The recall has been described as a three-ring circus... There's an old story about a father disciplining his son. "Sit down," the man says, and the boy refuses. Ever have one of those days when you thought you should have stayed in bed? Since the industry is in jeopardy, this month, the category is "Potpourri"... It seems that a remark in my last column suggesting that the good people of Canada are not totally crazy about their southern neighbors has upset at least one of their number... There are a few things I have to get off my chest... I feel I should be writing something about the war in Iraq every day, though any editor might have a different idea.... |

I don't know whether I deserve this prize, but I WANT IT!..." We see them inside the entrance to every Wal-Mart — Senior citizens trading their old-school charm and manners for minimum wage, working as greeters..." Today is the first day of Ramadan, word on the street has it that things will be quiet for the next month..." I'm sitting in Ar-Ramadi, Iraq with the Florida National Guard. Waiting to go out on a night time raid..." I'm in Baghdad, the well-armed, lawless capitol city where the security situation has been deteriorating at a steady pace..." The red glow got closer and the flames grew bigger..." I feel as if I made a wrong turn and ended up on the set of Apocalypse Now..." At the Los Angeles Times we were crafting a ten-year retrospective of the firestorms when history repeated itself..." I almost drove off the road when I turned a corner and saw what looked like a bright light show..." Of all the technologies that have changed the presentation of television news, none have made a greater impact than those that bring a live signal from outside a TV studio to the viewers' homes." Of all the technologies that have changed the presentation of television news, none have made a greater impact than those that bring a live signal from outside a TV studio to the viewers' homes." For the last few weeks I have been in the zone. Athletes get in that mental mind-set..." It's gotten so that it's pretty darn hard to take a bad picture. You have to work at it. And so I shall..." I'm a really bad tempered flyer. If the TSA screened for emotions as well as for hidden metal objects I would never be allowed on a plane..." The D.O.D website is about smart people using all the modern tools at their command on the Internet to guide whoever uses it to think the way they do..." |

Limelight. Palladium. Danceteria. These were the playgrounds and warrens of decadence in the City of Decadence in the Decade of Decadence. These were the New York nightclubs in the 1980s..." Now that I am in the process of preparing a retrospective on my work, I sometimes get sick thinking of photographs I have discarded or lost over the years..." For the first time, this newspaper at the school with a history of liberal causes, including fights for civil rights, and violent demonstrations against the Vietnam war in the 1960s was siding with the institutional interests..." I approached the digital camera as if I were approaching a sun crazed rattle snake..." I'm not kidding, but in two hours the President is going to Baghdad. And we're going with him...." Peace? In the Middle East you said? Probably as elusive as Saddam and his WMD's..." II arrived in Israel exactly 4 years ago this month for what was supposed to be a 3-week visit..." Lately I've been hearing a few people complain about negotiating lowball offers or educating clients about why Work For Hire contracts are a bad thing..." With the holidays approaching, there is no gift like a book of photos. (1) You don't have to read. (2) If you are a photographer, you can always use a stack of these big books to flatten prints..." It's a Postmodern world we're in, but we're stuck in logical Modernist systems and driven by Modernist thinking..." DV is moving, as the British are wont to say, "from strength to strength."..." Now they want their on-camera people to move. Thus is born the wandering anchor, a real life action figure walking and talking simultaneously, often too active for the story they are telling, and so well-dressed to make you die for the suit or dress he or she is wearing..." I have just read that a survey by the School of Information Management at UC-Berkeley has determined that, in the year 2002, the world created five exabytes of information. An exabyte is one billion gigabytes..." |
