NYC, final thoughts

Looking back at my posts throughout the week, it is clear how much I learned. The importance of story, solid caption writing, being multi-format literate, passion, and work ethic, were all laced into the generous advice we received. I want to use this final entry to discuss the impact that these people had on me and my personal goals. Not just what they said, but who they are. While my visit to...

Human Rights Watch, The New Yorker, and TIME...

Today marked the last day of our trip to New York City. That is not to say it was lightweight in terms of content. We set out early to visit Emma Daly, communications director at Human Rights Watch. The organization investigates and exposes abuse of human rights worldwide. They hire not only journalists, but lawyers and academics as well. Emma explained that Human Rights Watch uses not only still...

AP and Frank Fournier

This morning I was awake with the sun to visit the NYC office of the Associated Press. It was a pleasant surprise when director of photography and vice president of the AP, Santiago Lyon, invited us all to witness a conference call (their global news meeting) with the other national desks of the AP. This was a live demonstration of the importance of communication within the business. Each desk...

The New York Times and Getty Images

It is always a scramble at school to make it to the paper box before the last New York Times is snatched up. Today, I was physically at the New York Times offices with staff photographer and pioneer of Lens Blog, James Estrin. Needless to say, it was a rewarding experience. James shared with us that his career has been varied; he moved around to different small papers, freelancing, and even almost...

The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg

Today I was up at dawn to get to our morning appointment at The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Our host was director of photography, and RIT alumnus, Jack Van Antwerp, as well as members of his editing/shooting team. Jack has explored several avenues of the photography business, including shooting, photo researching, and editing. That being said, he was not afraid to wait tables when necessary to make...

NYC, day 1

Today was our first day in NYC and even though it was a light day it was a great experience. We visited Reuters photo agency in Times Square. We met with Adrees Latif, editor in charge, and Lucas Jackson and Mike Segar, staff photographers. They all had very useful advice. Lucas told us he got where he is today by “never saying no.” Every assignment is a learning experience. Lucas also urged us to...

Washington, D.C., Final Thoughts

Reminiscing about the trip, it is almost unfathomable that I visited such a range of photojournalism outlets. In one short week, I stepped through the doors of so many prestigious businesses that place great value in photography. They value photography. It is an essential aspect of their business. That is an epiphany that is effervescing post-D.C. If you are a top-tier photographer, who executes...

Goodbye for now, Ohio

Dear All, I’ve returned to New York to finish the last year of my undergraduate education. Creating this blog will cause me to miss my home more than usual this year, but at least I will be able to return to the memories present in these photographs. I will continue to update from my current location to observe how Rochester compares to Mount Vernon. Chloe A parting poem, by an Ohioan ...
