Workshop a success – Platon Audio coming
The Eddie Adams Workshop was a great success. I’m sure everyone came out of it having learned something very special – I know that I did. We’re all trying to catch up on life and work – not to mention rest. So here’s a quick article from PDN that talks about what we did there.
I’ve also gotten permission to put up audio of Platon’s speech at the workshop – which is easily one of the best I’ve heard in my years at the workshop – and likely the best speech I’ve ever heard from a “celebrity” photography – although that title diminishes what the man produces – it is just a small part of what Platon does. I and others were incredibly impressed with his wit, his intelligence – and how approachable he was. One of my only regrets was not getting time to spend with him at the bar one night – as I was walking past to go do some portfolio reviews, I caught a glimpse of him surrounded by a few students who were soaking his wisdom in. I have to admit to being quite jealous of those students – I sure hope they didn’t take a single second of that time with him for granted.
From the article it sounds like everyone was using Nikon D90’s for the workshop. Would love to hear your impressions and tips from using the video (and photo) functions of the D90.
Hi Vincent,

Thank you Vincent, Nancy, Kathy, Josh, Jessica for this an incredible experience.
Hey Vincent-
I didn’t get a chance to chat with you during the workshop, but I have to agree with what you’ve said about Platon. I cannot wait to hear his speech again. Although I was inspired by all that spoke, he was just amazing.
Weren’t you doing video during his speech, too?

The Times, they are a-changin
In Quebec City, just last year a daily newspaper locked out it’s journalists for 15 months and one of the point in litigation was that the employer wanted it’s journalists to use video cameras to produce “multi-platforming” content.
“The employer wants to allow “multi-platforming” and the publication of Journal de Québec content in all other Quebecor media (Internet, TV, etc.). Management wants journalists to also use cameras, video cameras, video editing suites, sound recordings, etc. to gather information for publication in the various Quebecor media.”

Is Platon’s speach going to be posted here in the future, or is it up somewhere now & I’m missing it?
I’m with Shoebox.
Where is the Platon audio?
I’ve been a fan of Platon’s for a long time. The interview on the World Press Photo site was amazing…I can’t wait to hear the Eddie Adams talk.
This post made me think back to what a great time I had there a couple years back. Those few days had quite an impact on me and my work.
Oh Platon audio, where art thou? =)
В очередной раз благодарю, хорошие что есть такие люди как вы, которые дают дельные советы:)
Hey Vincent,
So nice work !
Sophie.
