On Twitter this evening, I talked a little bit about how to handle twenty bajillion photographs and stay afloat. My thinking on this has been shifting quite a bit over the last year and has been greatly influenced by conversations with others about the shoeboxes (or filing cabinets if we were a bit more sophisticated) we used to keep our archives in. Those thoughts aren’t yet complete and I’m not ready to write the big treatise on how my workflow really works, but I’m far enough along to at least give a sneaky peek on one aspect of it.

Redlights and Redeyes:
My main objective is to make compelling imagery that tells the story…sound familiar? I’m just telling it from a different point-of-view, ironically ending up on the same pages where my photojournalism used to appear.

I decided to experience photography in a different way this time. I wasn’t interested in telling or describing anything about the well-known political and historical characteristics of the Cuban system. I didn’t want to need to look for ‘useful situations’. I tried to forget that I was there.

Trading War for Waves
To cope with the stress of conflict photography, Guillermo Cervera dives into the surf to photograph the perfect wave. How an old hand at the sea says a farewell to arms every now and then.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/28/trading-war-for-waves/
“In between conflicts, I go and photograph surfing,” he said. “I’ve always been scared by colleagues who are obsessed with war. I did not want to be like that. So I go make photos of something beautiful.”
It is a kind of therapy, though not without danger.

Opinion | When Secrets Aren’t Safe With Journalists
Often, anonymous sources have been exposed by a journalist’s use of insecure communications.
Sadly, operational computer security is still not taught in most journalism schools, and poor data security practices remain widespread in news organizations. Confidential information is sent over regular phone lines and via text messages and e-mail, all of which are easy to intercept. Few journalists use secure-communication tools, even ones that are widely available and easy to use.
