I told some people that the Facebook page link was on the website but I must have been wrong! Here is the link. I'll add it to the sidebar.

Added some more examples on the right..!

Captions/cutlines

I fixed/added a couple links on writing captions/cutlines under the "Other Resources."

I have a bad habit of using these terms interchangeably, but technically cutlines are what we will be writing. Captions are the short descriptions that are sometimes above the photo, especially when the photo is run without a story. A lot of photos don't have captions in newspapers, but they almost all have cutlines.

But if I say caption, assume I'm talking about cutlines. I think our book calls them captions, I'll have to double check.

Class Tuesday

Hey folks -- I forgot to mention: bring your camera to class on Tuesday (and a memory card).

Welcome Fall 2011 students.....

Just a quick note if you looked at the "Which group am I in" document before now, I did make a slight change so double check it. I'll have a hard copy in our first class for everyone.

Photos from the storm yesterday.

"Compared to 20 years ago the volume has increased by a factor of about 30 due to the ease of rapid digital transmission of images and is also a result of broader editing by photographers in the field. Previously analogue transmissions meant stories had to be summarized in just three or four photos.

Some interesting thoughts on the photojournalism scene from the BBC.
