PhotoJournalism - Mark Hancock s Blog

Professional photojournalist Mark M. Hancock discusses photojournalism and the eccentricities associated with gathering images for daily newspapers and magazines. What does it take to be a great journalist? A great journalist cares about people and an ideal world. A great journalist can approach a topic as vast as the universe and make it simple and interesting to both Einstein and the new immigrant, who is trying to learn the language. The written word has power. With skill, reporters can expose the dark deeds of the world and bring them into the light. However, journalism is limited to non-apathetic, monolinguistic people with some time to kill and a few neurons still firing. Enter photojournalism. It destroys almost all barriers. Justice can draw its sword in the time it takes an eye to scan an image. An image has no age, language or intelligence limits. - What is a photojournalist? A journalist tells stories. A photographer takes pictures of nouns people, places and things . A photojournalist takes the best of both and locks it into the most powerful medium available - a single frozen image. Photojournalists capture verbs. This sounds simple, but a room of professional photographers was dumbfounded by this realization. Even after a full-length lecture with documentation and visual evidence, half of the photographers still had no clue what the difference was. At the end of the presentation. One man said he really did , So, what s the difference between photography and photojournalism? Luckily, two people only two turned to him and yelled, Verbs! Although photojournalists can take properly exposed and well composed photographs all day long, they hunt verbs. They hunt them, shoot them and show them to their readers. Then, they hunt more. A photojournalist has thousands of pairs of eyes looking over his shoulder constantly. The readers are insistent: What are they doing? What did you see? and What happened? . The readers wake PJs up at night. They keep PJs awake....

Phil Borges - People of Indigenous Cultures - Photography - World photographer of indigenous and tribal cultures

Phil Borges People of Indigenous Cultures - Photography Books Prints - Phil Borges has lived with and documented indigenous and tribal cultures around the world. Through his work he strives to create a heightened understanding of the issues faced by people in the developing world. My photographic projects are devoted to the welfare of indigenous and tribal people. My intention is to help bring attention to the value these cultures represent and the challenges they face. We are living in an era of unprecedented cultural extinction. Indigenous and tribal cultures that have survived for hundreds sometimes thousands of years may soon be gone. A recent study made by the linguist Ken Hale of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimates that 3,000 of the 6,000 languages that exist in the world today are fated to die because they are no longer spoken by the children. The implications of this fact are startling. In one generation our cultural diversity will be halved. This diversity of knowledge, imagination, and belief that has helped to provide the creativity, resiliency and strength of our species is being dismantled. The fragile oral traditions that have held an encyclopedic body of knowledge about the natural world are being lost. Indigenous peoples have been threatened for centuries as economic interests and nation states have encroached on their lands. Although colonial and imperial pressures are still present, a more insidious problem lies with the children of these cultures. Entranced by images of the wealth and power of the First World, the young are turning away from their traditions. Most of these young people migrate to the cities and end up as marginalized beings never truly benefiting from the illusion they chase. As people they do not disappear; they live on, but the very essence of their culture is extinguished, leaving them shadows of their former selves and shadows of those they want to imitate in the developed world.
