I think this must be my newspaper recovery phase. I feel over-indulgent and greedy in photographing these feature stories just cuz. Just cuz I’m intrigued. This world is so huge and so full of intrigue. I got to shoot so many things that interested me as a staff photographer but so much of it was just filler and important projects never got the space they deserved.

When Kendrick Brinson first heard of Sun City, a retirement community in Arizona that boasts a squad of senior-citizen cheerleaders, she knew she had to visit. Sun City, the first “planned active retirement community,” had its 50th anniversary on Jan. 1, 2010; Brinson made her first trip in December 2009. Six visits and 3½ years later, Brinson released Sun City: Life After Life, a limited-edition book designed by Deb Pang Davis that she envisions as a sort of “retro brochure” or visual guidebook to the community.

Back to Sun City
It’s hard to stop working on a photo project. Sometimes there is relief that the undertaking is done. Sometimes there is longing for more. Sometimes, this time, I don’t think there will ever be a complete ending. While my trips will never be frequent again, I don’t think I’ll ever come to a point where I never want to return to Sun City.

If Photojournalism Is Dead, What's Luceo? – NYTimes.com
If Photojournalism Is Dead, What’s Luceo?
James Estrin believes Luceo Images is a vibrant rebuttal to the notion floated by Neil Burgess that photojournalism died last month.
via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/14/if-photojournalism-is-dead-whats-luceo/
I realized that the success of Luceo is a very good rebuttal to those who believe photojournalism is dead. David Walter Banks, Kendrick Brinson, Matt Eich, Kevin German, Daryl Peveto and Matt Slaby are carefully laying plans for careers of 30 to 40 more years. They are all busy with assignments and working on personal projects. They look at the same circumstances Mr. Burgess did and come to an entirely different conclusion.

Sun City: Enjoy Your Youth | Luceo Images
I happily sent myself back to Sun City for a third trip this month (the second trip in January is still under wraps for the client). I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying this project. I’ve got 13 miles of city to wander with my camera about in, and on the last go, the rental car people gave me a yellow VW bug.
