A playful 9-year-old, walking home to feed his parakeets, was shot and blinded by a bullet meant for someone else. April Saul’s photographic narrative documents the struggles of Jorge Caragena and his family who were traumatized by gun violence in the streets of Camden, N.J. As a result of this coverage, a local charity helped Jorge move to a new house in a safer neighborhood, readers donated money and the Camden Police Chief became the boy’s friend and mentor.

“I love being a part of photojournalism,” he told News Photographer magazine, somewhat overcome emotionally by the news of his win. “I love what I do and I believe in what we do. It’s been a long road to this point.”
What Taylor means by that is that he is deeply able to empathize with the subjects of “The Thin Line,” his economic story.
“I was laid off in 2005 (from the Herald-Sun in Durham, NC) and unemployed for 15 months. Nobody was hiring me and I was really scared that I’d never get to be a part of this again.” It was the beginning of the big wave of layoffs across American newspapers. Taylor was eventually hired by The Hartford Courant, and then two-and-a-half years ago he joined The Virginian-Pilot staff.

I had the pleasure of attending the Art Director’s Club Annual Awards the other night on the invitation of my friend (and Board member) Ann Harakawa from the design firm Two Twelve. In college, I worked at a small design firm in New Haven, so design has always been near and dear to my heart. But more specifically, I am really interested in looking at the cross pollination of photography into other disciplines. So let’s look at some of the photo-related award winners…

Photographer Daido Moriyama won the Lifetime Achievement Award. A video that preceded the presentation showed Moriyama capturing his black-and-white, expressionistic images, shooting on the streets of Tokyo with a small pocket camera, sometimes from the hip or without looking through the viewfinder. Moriyama took his iconic photo “Stray Dog” while in his 20s, but for a time he abandoned photography, frustrated that his work was only copying. After falling into a period of drug use, he by chance found and bought a used Pentax and then returned to making art.
