Even if times are troubled by uncertainty...David, <br /><br />Even if times are troubled by uncertainty we have to face reality. Print media,as we know them, are long gone. I think we now have to think about solutions, about what a youngster in garage would do if he had to invent photojournalism in 2009. <br /><br />When you were a young photographer, you invented something new, you were part of the innovation. Part of a new generation of very talented photographer. This kind of guys still exist! One difference, they have to think on a new basis to spread their work around the globe to inform people. I'm a young photographer - and I don't consider myself the best in my category, even if I try to work hard to reach that goal - but I think everyday on a new way to show my work or to finance photojournalism in a large scale. <br /><br />Imagine if every young photographer like was able to invent something new. Imagine if we were strong enough to create an alternative to the old economic model, but with the same ethic. Maybe the future wouldn't be so depressing, right? Guess what, I'm sure there's a lot of colleague out there who are trying their best to renew photojournalism's economic model. And I'm sure you have a role to play in this reinvention.<br /><br />Many Thanks <br /><br />P.S: excuse my english, like photography, I also try to improve my skills in this domain ;-)Gerald Holubowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438664597041684264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-40458062435824847972009-11-08T16:53:23.268-05:002009-11-08T16:53:23.268-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gerald Holubowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438664597041684264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26527197.post-55877770755865563182009-11-08T01:53:26.904-05:002009-11-08T01:53:26.904-05:00David,
Have you seen the work Danfung Dennis has...David, <br /><br />Have you seen the work Danfung Dennis has done in Afghanistan? He shot a video documentary with a 5DMKII while embedded with a Marine company. So far he has posted a trailer, but it's incredible story telling.<br /><br />http://battleforheartsandminds.com/<br /><br />If Robert Capa and Larry Burrows were working today I might guess this is the type of work they would be doing.<br /><br />Can you imagine Burrows having shot “Yankee Papa 13″ on a 5DMKII as a video documentary? He could have pulled out the same stills from the video that made the story famous if needed for "print," which pretty soon will mean stills online. <br /><br />I have to assume that the photos on Danfung's web site are stills from the video since some of the photos are recognizable from the trailer. <br /><br />The world has changed for photojournalists. What Danfung is doing is the future, and if the trailer is any indication, he’s doing it better than anyone else I’ve seen.<br /><br />The thrill of journalistic/documentary photography has always been capturing THE moment, the photographer being like an elite athlete. <br /><br />Still photographers will become more rare as time passes. Video will be shot and stills pulled from that. It makes the most sense economically. <br /><br />For this to be a reality the question is still who is going to pay for it?arbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364467514665819717noreply@blogger.com
