Transitioning from photography to multimedia
Some of the most talented multimedia producers in our industry today actually started their careers as photographers. Photographers make up the majority of staffs at nearly every inspirational multimedia company – Media Storm, Bombay Flying Club, Talking Eyes Media, Weyo, and Story4, to name a few. Whether out of necessity or personal aspiration, these photographers have successfully made the transition to multimedia production and now use their still cameras as only one storytelling option. So why did they do it, how were they successful, and how can you follow their lead?
Eight inspirational audio slide shows

These talented people from my school, internships and jobs have pushed me to work harder. Although not a comprehensive selection, here is my list of top-eight audio slide shows from this group. Thanks for the inspiration friends!
Truth with a camera photojournalism workshop coming to Guadalajara, Mexico
My friend and fellow colleague Josh Meltzer notified me about “Truth with a camera,” a photojournalism workshop in Guadalajara, Mexico in late May. He has organized this week-long event, partnering with the University of Guadalajara and 15-20 local NGOs. It looks like an amazing experience to both sharpen your photography skills and give back to non-profits through your work. I encourage all visual journalists to seriously consider attending this great workshop.
