I’m honored and excited that
I have been invited to participate as a faculty member at this year’s Atlanta
Photojournalism Seminar November 13-15, 2014. I’ll be speaking on Saturday
morning from 9:00-10:15am
I’ve attended this
outstanding event several times over the years. I always leave with the hopes
of returning for more. Hope you’ll be joining us this year.
The Atlanta Photojournalism
Seminar was founded in 1973 by a group of photojournalists representing
newspapers, magazines and wire services. Its reason for being is to promote the highest standards of photojournalism
through an annual educational conference and a photography contest judged by
working photographers.
Speakers throughout the
years have included Pulitzer Prize winners, Photographer of the Year winners,
major magazine and wire service photographers, influential directors of
photography, important educators in photojournalism, academia, and others
important in this profession. Founded as a regional event, the Atlanta
Photojournalism Seminar has grown to become one of the most prestigious
photojournalism competitions, with participants from throughout the world.
The Seminar will be held at
the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North, which is close to the Dunwoody MARTA
transit station and Perimeter Mall. There are dozens of shops and restaurants nearby.
MARTA offers easy transportation to downtown, Hartsfield-Jackson International
Airport, as well as other Atlanta locations.
The
following is the schedule for the 2014 Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar.
