Earlier this year, we learned that Christopher Capozziello was accepted along with 99 other photographers to Review Santa Fe in New Mexico. Last weekend he met with editors, numerous book publishers, and institutions to speak about his work. Many exciting leads came from the sessions including the possibility of publishing his first book.

Also, Associate Picture Editor from The New Yorker was present and blogged about her experience as a reviewer. She included Chris’ work in The New Yorker’s Photo Booth Blog

Here is one of the main reasons I’ve been a bit absent over the last few months:

Curiosity, Community and a Camera from Yoon S. Byun on Vimeo.

This project on Globe photojournalist Bill Greene, was done to fulfill my degree requirements for a Master of Arts in Photojournalism at Ohio University.  The question behind the thesis was, “What motivates a local New Englander, who has never left Massachusetts, to be such a prolific storyteller in his home community?”

Although its intention is to serve the library and future students at Ohio University, I do feel that the piece speaks to photojournalists at any level of their career, whether they are a student or a 30-year veteran.  How do you keep it fresh in a community you’ve chosen to live in?  I was truly inspired listening to Bill and the people he works with.  If you see the video, I hope you are too.

“Napkins and Quarters” is a column by Yoon S. Byun, Staff Photographer, at The Boston Globe.  He writes about his thoughts, pictures, and observations from his daily job.

I came across a couple recent inspiring links and wanted to share them with you all.

Shooting from the Hip – Scott Strazzante

Scott is really building up a body of work here. Hitting the Chicago streets in between his daily newspaper assignments.

In late October this year, we had our annual AEVUM meeting in Boston, hosted by the oh-so-gracious Yoon Byun. Here are some photos from the great 3-day meetup! More photos can be seen on Elyse Butler’s blog.
