A blogger's ailment.
Full confession: I suffer from it too and there appears to be no relief.
Well, it's official. The 2005 SAJA PHOTOFORUM is on. They are looking for the very best in photojournalism from South Asia; from those who work in South Asia or who have focussed on the South Asian diaspora.
Only digital entries will be accepted and they will be due on April 18, 2005. For the entry form and how to submit yourr entry, please click the Adobe Acrobat icon you see here to the right. You will need Acrobat Reader to view the file.
They are doing things a bit differently this year. For the first time, they are combining entries for the SAJA Photo Awards and the SAJA PHOTOFORUM. So, your entries will be judged for the photo awards and may also be exhibited in front of 600 journalists at the SAJA annual convention, held at Columbia University.
Please let your friends and colleagues know about this opportunity. Forward the downloaded PDF or email them the following link.
The second editon of Dave LaBelle's seismic book, The Great Picture Hunt, is finally out. I am signing on to buy a copy, perhaps two. It's a great resource for photojournalists; especially those new to the business and struggling to find those enterprise images.
The first edition quickly sold out and went out of print. Get yours quick!

The photojournalists at VII, the photo agency, are taking to the highways to spread the gospel of photojournalism.
Having been to the last couple of Photo Plus Expos in NY, I have a feeling this two-day affair in Boston [April 16 & 17] is an expanded version of the panel discussion led by the legendary Peter Howe.
This gathering is sponsored in part by Canon and Exposure, “dedicated to the advancement of human rights through the instruction, promotion, and encouragement of photojournalism and documentary studies.”
