things as they are

A week ago, Mary Panzer, the photo curator, critic and author of the ICP Infinity Award winning book “Things As They Are” came to MediaStorm to write a story for the Wall Street Journal headlined ” Photojournalism for the Web Generation.” She mentioned my first two MediaStorm pieces: Reuters “Bearing Witness, Five Years of the Iraq War” and “One Man Brand,” the first MediaStorm workshops story I produced that was created by Lucy Nicholson and Jassim Ahmad from Reuters.

As I mentioned to a friend: “Sometimes you’re in the forest and aware of the trees but it takes someone special to describe what those trees actually look like.” Please share my revelation.
