2009-11 Final.Indd November 2009 Volume 32, Issue 4 A Strong New Archives at UT-Austin By Cindy Slater • The H.J. Lutcher Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sport Drs. Jan and Terry Todd take great pleasure in announcing the establish- ment of a new and permanent home for their extensive collection of materials on Inside: physical culture and sport: The H.J.

    William James Warren Photojournalism Photoillustration 5342 Don Ricardo Drive Carlsbad, California 92010 760.213.9986 [email protected] November, 2008 R E S U M E 1942 Born in Los Angeles, the only child of an aircraft engineer, inventor & fine cabinetmaker. Mother was an office manager, inveterate reader & correspondent with a love of humor & classical music. My career as a photojournalist began as a child, before TV, visualizing the world at large through the pages of Life Magazine and National Geographic. Robert Capa, et al, made heroic role models, with the ability to influence events through the power of their imagery. The empathy, drama, passion of the masters, (W. Eugene Smith foremost), I absorbed by osmosis. This was about the extent of my education in photography. 1960 My senior year in High School, a fellow nerd cohort was given a Leica by his folks; an instant ticket to social status and identity as an Official Photographer to the Year Book! I was envious. With a camera around my neck, I imagined, I would have a raison d'être; an identity, a means of expression, and means of looking cool to females. I left some photography magazines around the house, in spoiled reliance on the gift giving patterns of my parents. In the fullness of time (next Christmas), I became the proud owner of a 35mm 'Petri' range finder camera! The Leica would follow, after I had demonstrated that my interest was other than mercurial as I vacillated between careers in Art and Rocket Science. I set about learning how it worked in my preferred fashion, by experimentation.

A very serious guide as in ‒ there will be occasional sudden changes in the schedule at times that are part of the learning curve. Method: Regarding what is expected of students in this class -- Today's photojournalist needs to be able to stand out and above the mass of would be photojournalists who have not learned to tell stories with their cameras. There are quite a few ways to accomplish this and this class is designed to help you learn how to do this and at the same time place your personal imprint on the work that you want to produce. In today's world, everyone thinks that they are a great photographer because of cameras that do the technical side pretty well but smart cameras are not always smart and they do not teach you how to get close to your subjects and create meaningful and quality work. One of the many things that you will learn is how to rid yourself of the fears that prevent you from making intelligent choices within the sphere of your work. Patience and understanding goes a long way in helping the photographer go beyond the obvious.

  • Pressepolitik in Den US- Kriegen Des 20
    Die andere Front: Pressepolitik in den US- Kriegen des 20. Jahrhunderts Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Andreas Elter Saarbrücker Str. 5 51107 Köln Köln, April 2003 ii Danksagung Angeregt wurde diese Dissertation durch den verstorbenen Leiter der Anglo- Amerikanischen Abteilung der Universität zu Köln, Prof. Jürgen Heideking. Unmittelbar nach Abschluss meines Studiums im Jahre 1996 kamen Prof. Heideking und ich in mehreren Gesprächen gemeinsam zu der Auffassung, dass bei der Untersuchung US- amerikanischer Kriege des 20. Jahrhunderts häufig ein ganz entscheidender Aspekt fehlte: Nämlich eine übergreifende Analyse der Pressepolitik, die vor allem die Bedeutung der Medienlenkung im Krieg herausarbeitet. Auf dieser Grundlage entstand überhaupt erst mein Entschluss, eine entsprechende Dissertation vorzulegen. Daher soll hier an erster Stelle Prof. Heideking gedankt werden. Durch einen beruflich bedingten Umzug nach Mainz und den Tod Prof. Heidekings verzögerte sich der Start des Projekts um drei Jahre. Eine Initialzündung für die Wiederaufnahme und Vervollständigung der Recherchen stellte dann 1999 ein Aufenthalt als "Visiting Media Fellow" der RIAS-Kommission am "Institute for Public Policy" der Duke University in North Carolina dar. Die Leiterin des Instituts, Ellen Mickiewicz, gewährte mir unter anderem auf Grund ihrer Erfahrungen einer Beratertätigkeit für den ehemaligen US-Präsidenten Jimmy Carter tiefe Einblicke ins Innenleben pressepolitischer Zusammenhänge und Kontakte zu amerikanischen Journalisten. Ihr und den anderen Lehrkräften der Duke University, insbesondere Prof. David Paletz, gebührt ebenfalls Dank. In den USA haben mich darüber hinaus Martin Bohley (CNN Atlanta), Susan Tifft (New York Times), Rick Atkinson (Washington Post), Albert Dagliesh (Presseabteilung des Pentagon) sowie die freundlichen Damen und Herren im CBS und NBC-Archiv sowie an der Library of Congress und den National Archives bei meinen Recherchen unterstützt.

  • Dirck Halstead Lecture Series (Pdf)
    “Dirck Halstead is one of the most gifted photojournalists of our time. “Moments In Time” is an evocative and memorable reminder of the triumphs and turmoil, tragedies and joy of the closing decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of a new era. There are lessons to be shared for all generations.” — TOM BROKAW, Author of The Greatest Generation DIrck HAlstead Stories And Images From One Of America’s Top Photojournalists Stories And Images From One Of America’s Top Photojournalists With 54 TIME magazine covers to his credit, photojournalist Dirck Halstead has enjoyed a front row seat to the great events of the last half of the twentieth century. Dirck started the UPI photo bureau in Saigon in 1965, photographed the first U.S. Marines as they landed on China Beach, then ten years later captured the exodus of Americans during the fall of Saigon. Dirck covered the inaugural of John F. Kennedy as the 31st president of the United States and went on to document all the following presidents through the Clinton administration. His iconic photograph of Clinton embracing a then-unknown intern, Monica Lewinsky became the “smoking gun” image that was published all over the world. Halstead claims that Washington, DC is “Hollywood without the talent.” Between assignments at the White House for Time Magazine, Dirck built a reputation as one of the film industry’s top “special” photographers, producing scores of posters for major motion pictures. DIRck Hallstead’S lectuRes showcase his award-winning photographs combined with a fast-paced, often hilarious assessment of presidents and stars that take the audience behind the scenes and share true stories of what really transpires in a business where “the inmates are in charge of the asylum.” INTO THE DIGITAL AGE After 29 years as Time Magazine’s Senior White House photographer, Halstead took his experience to the World Wide Web as publisher and editor of The Digital Journalist, (digitaljournalist.org) an online monthly magazine for visual journalism, which is read by more than 1 million people a month.

    19 e/th Festival International du/of photojournalism photojournalisme 2 0 0 7 01.09 16.09 p r o - w e e k 3.09 au 9.09 Editorial 19e/th Festival International du /of photojournalism photojournalisme Visa pour l’Image is now 19 years old. And these nineteen years have been devoted to promoting a certain type of photography analyzing events around the world and going beyond the coverage presented by the traditional medial. Some people may find this attitude provocative, but that is the goal, as this is the only way of exposing and speaking out against so many negative forces in the world. Visa pour l’Image is an event supported by 4000 professionals working in photography and who come from many countries. 2007 will also be a milestone year, registering the three millionth visitor, and this gives an idea of the scope of the festival and the way it has grown. Visa pour l’Image is not a festival of glitter, and it must continue to expose all the dramatic events which, unfortunately, still prevail and spread, while people so often turn their backs on a spirit of kindness or tolerance to fellow humans, doing so for any number of reasons (e.g. ethnic, religious, economic or political reasons, or simply for personal ambition). Every day more numbers are added to the already millions of victims - abused, forced to join groups or militia, or exterminated - so many innocent victims. Visa pour l’Image also has its own battle to wage, defending a profession under threat with a wabe of restructuring, and defending individuals in cases of hostage-taking, an ever more prevalent threat, and sometimes reality, for photographers and journalists whose only fault has been to pursue the quest for truth out in the field, despite the dangers involved.

  • A Visit to the Corbis Picture Mine by Dirck Halstead- the Digital Journalist
    A Visit to the Corbis Picture Mine by Dirck Halstead- The Digital Journalist COVER STORY | CAMERA CORNER EDITORIAL | FEATURES | COLUMNS MESSAGE BOARDS | HOME A Visit to the Corbis Picture Mine June 2003 A Special Report by Dirck Halstead It was heart breaking. Ken Johnston loved photographs and photojournalism. For two decades he had been a researcher for the Bettman archives, one of the largest collections of photography in the world. In the late 1980s, Bettmann bought the United Press International archives, and in 1995, Corbis, the giant corporation privately held by billionaire Bill Gates bought the entire collection. For Johnston the problem was that his beloved collection was rapidly dying. Of the 11,000,000 plus negatives, plates and prints stored in manila folders on shelves in Bettmann's Manhattan office, many were turning to vinegar. The smell permeated the entire floor that Bettmann occupied. Employees would start to gag as they retrieved priceless photographs for clients. And worst of all, the negatives would crumble into dust as they were removed from their envelopes. This collection represents a vast proportion of the world's visual legacy. And it was vanishing before Johnston's eyes. The root of the problem is that photographs are inherently unstable. Many photographers are painfully aware that color negatives, prints, and transparencies have a relatively short life span. The dyes in color reversal film introduced in the 1950s are especially vulnerable to fading following exposure to sunlight. But serious photographers take comfort that black and white film has survived for as much as a century, and in most cases outlives the photographer.
