“The View From Behind The Lens” is the new book by Annie Leibovitz; I have the book on order so have not yet seen it but as publicity for the book there are a couple of interesting interviews of the photographer:

A CBS crew of 16 followed photographers Zoriah and Alissa Everett through Gaza and the West Bank as they documented the conflict. Its a little Hollywood in parts but worth watching. Its in five parts, of which part one is posted above. The remaining clips are:





For anyone who hasn’t seen War Photographer with James Nachtwey, I strongly urge you to watch it. Its one of the most powerful documentaries I’ve seen, on one of the world’s most powerful photographers.

US Elections Slideshow

Posted on November 6, 2008 | Leave a comment
The closest I could get to Chicago was Knightsbridge.
I popped into the Chicago Rib Shack in Knightsbridge to cover the reaction of US citizens and Londoners to the results of the US elections.
It turned out to be quite a moving assignment. To see so many US citizens who were unhappy with the current government and wanting so desperately a change. I heard so many people say that they were ashamed of being American and that so much of the world disliked their country. After Barack Obama was announced the President Elect, that they were now so very proud was very touching.

US Elections & The Power Of Photography

Posted on November 6, 2008 | Leave a comment

Firstly, my congratulations to America and their new President Elect; its superb news.

I covered the reaction of US Citizens watching the results come in at the Chicago Rib Shack in London’s Knightsbridge. It was a very moving assignment…more of which, later!
I was having a look at some links to powerful images and their role in the election on “A Photo Editor”. Of particular note are Platon’s images in The New Yorker and also a set at The Huffington Post.
