In the Category NEW APPROACHES TO NEWS & ]]> Found out today that I’m nominated for two Emmy awards. Holy Toledo!

In the Category NEW APPROACHES TO NEWS & DOCUMENTARY PROGRAMMING: CURRENT NEWS COVERAGE, I was nominated for Reuters Bearing Witness, 5 Years of the Iraq War which I produced and edited.

And in the category, NEW APPROACHES TO NEWS & DOCUMENTARY PROGRAMMING: DOCUMENTARIES, I helped out on Intended Consequences, shot and reported by Jonathan Torgovnik and Jules Shell and produced and edited by my dear friend Chad Stevens. I shot the Photographers interviews at the end of the piece, a small part but I’m so happy to be a part of such a powerful project!

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.
