A new Xbox360 video game called ‘Dead Rising’ features a freelance photojournalist as the main character. This is funny:
Dead Rising follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance photojournalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies.
I wonder if he shoots Nikon or Canon…
Not really sure what to think of this new online magazine from Trent Nelson and Grayson West called NoTxt. After going through the site, it isn’t hard to figure out how they got their name.
Photos and art can have the ability to speak for themselves, but sometimes I’d like a little background info to go with the story. Even a little statement about the inspiration for each month’s work would suffice.
It almost seems a bit elitist for a photographer to think that his/her photos can stand up alone without any words to explain the situation. Am I missing something here?
On a positive note, I do really love many of the photos in the magazine. Those by Matt Eich and Ashley Francell really stand out.
We’ll wait to see if things stay the same for issue #2. The deadline to submit images is June 24.
So we’ll start this blog out here and see where it goes…
The goal is to spotlight good photojournalism and keep photojournalists informed of news and trends currently affecting the profession. The blog will be updated daily with photos and links to news articles about photojournalism around the world. Please feel free to comment and link back!
