“Newspapers and magazines are cutting back sharply on [...]

Citygarden, a new art and sculpture park in downtown St. Louis, opens its doors (or better yet, tears down the construction fences) for the first time. Having [...]
It’s amazing, when you actually ponder it, how quickly time passes. The meeting of two eternities, past and future, as Thoreau would say, is so undoubtedly fleeting. Three weeks ago, I embarked upon a cross-country trek to Jupiter, Florida, on assignment for the Post-Dispatch to cover the St. Louis Cardinals during their spring training. Possibly [...]
Black Star Rising’s Anh Stack brought up a good topic on ethics and video storytelling. “Is Video a Trojan Horse for Photojournalistic Ethics?”
But in the minds of many print photojournalists, TV’s justifications for setting up shots represent a slippery slope – one that starts with the relatively innocent staging for editing purposes, but can eventually [...]

With all of the change under way, it’s only fitting to try something new. A few days ago the Post-Dispatch purchased a set of Canon Powershot G10 [...]
With all this new technology (think Nikon’s foray into DSLR video with the D90) hitting the streets, I’m always curious to know what the perfect camera would be for the digital photojournalist?
I’ve had this conversation before with my colleagues at Canon and Nikon. Both companies are interested in our thoughts and expectations for new equipment, [...]

As part of my Summer project (which I’ll post tomorrow) I compiled a multimedia piece centering around the work of Pandora’s Matchbox, a St. Louis-based fire performance [...]
Photographer Jorgen Gulliksen, who I wrote up before on uncommons here, sent me a great link on WYNC’s street shots, featuring videos of a wide-range of talented photographers talking about their craft on the streets of New York. Make sure you set valuable time at work to check out the videos. Jorgen wrote it up [...]
