Just one link for this morning: the New York Time’s enormous collaborative photography project “A Moment In Time” launched this morning. Take some time this morning and throughout the day to click through all the (thousands of) images for a diverse portrait of the entire planet at one single moment. I was really charmed by the diversity of image types; the serious black and white, the kid snapshots, and the arms length self portraits.
The Times has always been on the cutting edge with public photo projects done for the right reasons. Often, when a large publication asks for reader pictures, it’s usually a cute, innocuous way to replace the efforts of their dwindling staffs (see: CNN iReport) or a cynical pageview generator. It’s fun to see the Times not replace the hard work of their photographers but enlist the public for a task that couldn’t be done without them. A project and idea so big it was bigger than the paper itself. This was certainly a go big or go home moment and the public (as well as the Times) delivered.
Yesterday we published the first half of our interview with Andrew Spear, a young and promising freelance photographer who shoots regularly for publications like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, despite still being a college student living in a rural college town. As learned from yesterday, his remote location has been more of a benefit than a hindrance. [click to continue…]
Andrew Spear is a freelance photographer living in Southeast Ohio. What’s intriguing is without any sort of internship , Andrew has already established himself in a crowded industry, all while still being a full time student. At only 21 years old and a month from graduating from the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University, he’s already photographed assignments for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and AARP Bulletin. He was kind of enough to answer some questions about the work he does and how being a successful photographer is about being close to where the pictures, not the publications are. Here is part 1 of our interview, check in tomorrow for the second half. [click to continue…]
