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.”

Tonight, Zana Briski and Ross Kaufman have won the Best Documentary Oscar for Born Into Brothels.

To help the children you see in the film visit the Kids With Cameras website.

I have yet to see the film, but I have heard only great things about it. Anyone want to pipe in with a comment about it?

This image, by Reuters photographer Arko Datta, won the World Press Photo Award.

Two websites that I highly recommend for weekly reading: LensCulture and Dennis Dunleavy's The Big Picture?
