In just seven days from now - 100 very lucky students (comprised of 50 students and 50 professionals) will come together to participate in what is very likely the best photography workshops in the world:   The Eddie Adams Workshop - edition number XXI.

This workshop is always one of the highlights of my year - in fact I turned down a commercial job two years ago to make the annual pilgrimage upstate… (everyone volunteers at the workshop…and NO - I ain’t making enough money to be turning down commercial jobs… so that’s saying a lot!)  

The workshop is an annual gathering of some of the best “established” and “new” talent in the industry - I (and all of the other participants) have had a chance to hear the likes of Gordon Parks, George Tames, Nick Ut,  Bill Eppridge, Tom Kennedy, John White and many, many more legends of this industry share some pretty priceless stories and insight over the years.  In fact you can hear many of their speeches here.   Real, real cool.   Not only do some of the “best photographers” get invited to speak - but many of the very best editors from the most prestigious magazines and publications and other influential members of our photographic community also come to share. (more…)

I’ve spoken with David Sparer at Canon and we will have the “Reverie” video back up mid next week.   I initially wanted to put up a quiet update on a previous post - but I’ve been getting quite a few calls and e-mails asking me about our progress - so I decided to make this quick announcement - thanks for your patience.

James Nachtwey’s TED project has been revealed - you can see it at the following link here.   Very powerful stuff.  I have to run out - more on this later…  for now I’ll let his photography and the presentation do the talking.
