Travels With Barack – The Digital Journalist
Five years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when she was covering presidential candidate John Kerry. She sent her editor more photographs of Obama than Kerry. When asked why, she said, “I do not know. I just have a feeling about him. I think he will be important down the road.” Her first photo essay on Obama was two and half years ago. She has stuck with him ever since.

Covering the No Talk Express – by Stephen Crowley – The Digital Journalist
Click Note: You have to click on the “Feature Gallery” tab to see the photographs in the portfolio. It’s very easy to miss, so don’t.Most days a campaign will put out the same bowl of fruit for us to interpret—accuracy, of course, is paramount—and some will paint it, sculpt it, or wax poetic in the hope of making it more interesting than it looked the day before. But lately, John McCain’s campaign schedule has been as erratic as a gold mine penny stock I’ve been watching.

The Year in Pictures: Judith Joy Ross
Sometimes it only takes one picture. In 1990 I was at the Museum of Modern Art viewing John Szarkowski’s final show, “Photography Until Now” when I was stopped in my tracks by the last photograph in the show – a small but luminous 8 x 10 inch print on printing out paper of three young girls in bathing suits looking shyly at the camera while behind them, in the distance and out of focus, a teenage boy observes the proceedings. The picture was so visceral in its textures, so full of incipient narrative, and so intelligently composed, I knew this had to be the work of a brilliant photographer and without seeing one more of her pictures, I tracked her down and offered her a show.

pictures. » DNC pictures
I don’t think i’m a “good” photographer anymore. I am constantly looking for pictures that no one cares about. I dig flaws. Here we’re spoon fed visually. Beautiful light, beautiful venues.
Imperfection is reality. Yet, we refuse to embrace it. My pictures are far “worse” than most coming from the event. I don’t have clean backgrounds, people are looking at me and the moments are off. I always imagine that editors role their collective eyes when my files appear on their screens.
