Those were the days…
Just landed back from Shanghai, via Barcelona and New York City, originating and terminating in Los Angeles. I’ve lost track of which way is up or down – and my body’s internal clock will take quite awhile to reset. The blog has been a bit quiet for sure – but the commercial TV shoot only allowed us free time when we were sleeping on the flights between continents – quite literally. I will share more on the behind the scenes of the shoot shortly – and share the commercial with you in late January.
For now – I found this on APhotoEditor.com – and couldn’t resist sharing this with you all – these were the “good old days” in Photojournalism… how we miss them all!
I know David Burnett pretty well and have had the opportunity to shoot alongside him at quite a few big events – and it’s a blast to see him so young and the world the way it was back then (TELEGRAMS!!!) Needless to say, David is one of the best of his generation – no question about it. David still has the same level of passion and energy today as he did back then – if not more! The fun part is, while I do feel a bit nostalgic about the “good old days” of magazine/agency photography – I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a blast over the past few weeks and months shooting motion… on with the times I guess!

and while we’re at it – why not throw this one in as well from my pal Andrew Hetherington’s site What’s the Jackanory?

David Burnett was THE reason I became a photojournalist back in the late 80’s – To see this makes me yearn for the days of shooting b/w film – as you said – “on with the times I guess”
These are both full of motivation for me. Thank you for posting these. I consider them both a potent tonic!

Really enjoyed Duffy 🙂 “Spare dick at an Italian wedding” :)) 😉 Thanks for sharing 🙂
His work was labored and intense…having to churn out the imagery to ad agencies and the like…it was great seeing him in this film…I too burned negatives at one point…
