As newspaper photo staffs around the country suffer severe cuts, time invested in video production is taking a hit. Many newspapers are “retrenching” as they make their last stand. I still embrace the radical idea that video has a future at newspapers.

Over the last year, reports have been that the situation in Afghanistan was getting worse. When I hear that I say to myself, “…getting? It already was worse.” From my first visit to Afghanistan in 2006, I felt that the situation had already started its downward spiral; however, all eyes and most journalistic resources were elsewhere. I returned in 2007 and few publications were interested in Afghanistan. It was like a major war was on and nobody was really interested. I went again in 2008 and found myself in the midst of one of the most violent times the country had seen since 2001.

When I am out on a story and I tell someone I’m from The New York Times, the immediate response is usually a certain respectful recognition.
