On assignment with a New York Times photographer

So I shot this videos last semester of for the Lens Blog. We just wanted show what a typical New York Times assignment is. Sometimes you get good assignments, and others are not so glamorous.

I shoot with is Nicole Bengiveno, a world-class person and photographer. I heard stories about Nicole from my old adviser Kim Komenich and from my editor Jim Estrin, who is also a great person to go on assignment with, about how cool she is and how good she shoots. Again there were some difficulties shooting, but Nicole was able to get the shots and even after she had transmitted pictures she was still snapping away.

In case you missed it....

I had a post run on The New York Times Lens blog yesterday about a German Photographer, Andy Spyra, who is working on a project in Bosnia. There were some pretty horrible things that happened in Bosnia during the Bosnian War and Andy is there 15 years later, amid their healing process. His photos are quite great and extremely necessary I believe. They are still finding mass graves and from Andy's pictures, apparently you can find a lot of ruble still. I think he is doing great work, in the spirit of documentary journalism and it makes me just as anxious to find a project.

You can my post here on the Lens blog.

New York Times Article

Had my first article on the NYT Lens Blog, where I intern, last week. It was about a fairly cool show at the New York Public Library that has a nice variety of work. Check out the article here.
