Head Start for a New Life:
The first day of school can be scary for any child. For a political refugee new to a land where everyone speaks and dresses differently, the first day can be downright terrifying. San Antonio’s Family Service Association made a special effort this year to enroll as many 3- and 4-year-old refugee children as possible in federally-funded Head Start pre-kindergarten classes. Children from nearly 60 families are attending classes at the Culebra Head Start Satellite Site. Express-News Education Editor Jenny LaCoste-Caputo and photographer Lisa Krantz will be following the children throughout the school year to document their progress.
At War: Notes From the Front Lines – At War Blog – NYTimes.com:
Today, we introduce you to a new blog about America at war. This generation’s conflict, which began on 9/11, is nearly eight years old. Yet there are no signs that it will end anytime soon, with the Obama administration sending thousands more troops into Afghanistan and Iraq facing enormous military and political challenges as American troops withdraw. So “At War” — an expansion of our Baghdad Bureau blog — is a recognition that war is now, and will be, a defining experience for Americans. One of our contributors, Dexter Filkins, captured that in the title of his book about 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq: “The Forever War.”
Our aim is less commentary than boots-on-the-ground reporting, photography, audio and video. Despite financial constraints that have limited foreign coverage by many news outlets, Times reporters still go to places that matter. This year our team in Afghanistan and Pakistan won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting
Slightly out of focus:
Slightly out of focus is an on-line shop specialising in vintage, original illustrated magazines featuring the best in 20th century photography and photojournalism.
As collecting original pieces of photography is becoming out of reach for many, collecting the work in context, in it’s original form, is a great alternative. All our magazines are in at least very good condition (most are excellent) and are complete with all articles and advertisements.
We stock LIFE, Vu, Picture Post, Illustrated, Colliers, Saturday Evening Post and others. We currently hold a comprehensive selection of Robert Capa magazines, but are adding other photographers regularly. Please e-mail us if you are looking for the work of a particular photographer- we may not have added their work to our website yet.
