Photojournalism: An Ethical Approach

`Helewidis:iconHelewidis: reports, January 10
If you click the link (title) you'll be directed to an online edition of a book originally published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, Hillsdale, New Jersey, 1991: Photojournalism An Ethical Approach by Paul Martin Lester.

I consider it food for thought and reflection about photojournalism and ethics and thus would like to share it with you.

Now follows an excerpt to lure you into reading the full version:

A photojournalist is a mixture of a cool, detached professional and a sensitive, involved citizen. The taking of pictures is much more than F-stops and shutter speeds. The printing of pictures is much more than chemical temperatures and contrast grades. The publishing of pictures is much more than cropping and size decisions. A photojournalist must always be aware that the technical aspects of the photographic process are not the primary concerns.

A mother crying over the death of her daughter is not simply an image to be focused, a print to be made, and a picture to be published. The mother's grief is a lesson in humanity.

If the photojournalist produces a picture without a thought for her tragedy, the lesson is lost. But if the photographer cares for her loss, is made more humane, and causes the readers to share in her grief, photojournalism has reached its highest potential.

Despite its frustrations and low moments, the lesson of humanity is why photojournalism is an extremely rewarding profession. For that reason, photojournalism is worthy of the best thought and actions possible by its participants.

"Chainbreaker" Now Available For Download!

=randomredux:iconrandomredux: reports, April 7, 2008
You read that right, the first book of the Urban Nordica series, titled Chainbreaker is now available for download in PDF format.

This is, I supposed, what you’d call a beta draft of the novel and here at UN.com we’re going to be running a bit of a social experiment. See, Chainbreaker needs you! In the same way that software needs beta testers to snuff out all the bugs, we want you (yes, you) to help us work out the kinks in our story.

So here’s the deal.

1. First off, download Chainbreaker.
2. Read it!
3. Tell us what you thought. Negative or positive, it doesn’t matter. All we ask is you make a post in your weblog or journal with some feedback. That’s all.

Our favourite critics go in the running to win some hyper-limited edition first press run Really Real Life copies of the book (care of everyone’s favourite vanity press company, Lulu). That’s like two free books for the price of sharing your opinions with the world. Which y’all like doing anyway, right?

Right.

So what are you waiting for? Get reading!
