Raw tracks for your mixing pleasure, sign of things to come?
It doesn’t have much to do with photojournalism, but I’m a sucker for this stuff. A DJ to an audience of none, but I rock my headphones from time to time with my own homemade mixes and samples. Fort Minor, by way off a partnership between its label Warner Brothers and Creative Commons, has posted...
Evolving media explored by new media
Vbloger Steve Garfield recently visted New England Cable News TV for a report he filed on Rocketboom. What’s interesting is the way NECN has partnered up with The Boston Globe and has been able to implement the two mediums and then been able to pull it off. In the Bay Area we’ve seen this trend...
What’s a meme?
Well I’ve been tagged… or something. Apparently it doesn’t mean it’s time to chase your friends around the the tan bark (okay seriously, why did it take schools so long to realize the woodchips were nothing but rocks with dirt and spliters?). After looking it up, I learned that a meme is basically an online...
I’ve gone global
A few weeks ago I noticed something interesting was happening with the hits on SLR. Suddenly I was receiving a lot of hits from India. Between 1 A.M. and 2 A.M. I saw the total site percentage of hits from India go from 0.01% to nearly 50%. As it turns out, my virus story was...
Dai Sugano: The Forgotten People – Part II
I didn’t want my own reflections to overshadow Dai’s excellent work. So in an attempt to break up the focus, I’ve cut and pasted the second half of the post. There is this school of thought in photojournalism, that in order to remain objective we must remove ourselves from the equation. The idea is that...
Things I wish I knew…
Well apparently Flickr has an archive limit on the free accounts. I learned just now the hard way, that limit is 200. Well there goes my portfolio… I can’t talk now… don’t look at me! Filed under: sitenews technology photography flickr
Dai Sugano: The Forgotten People – Part I
San Jose State University photojournalism alumnus and current San Jose Mercury News staff photographer Dai Sugano has recently wrapped up a 15 month long project documenting Hmong refugees.

From the back section!
Sort of an update to my test article for Newsvine. Which I’m not very impressed by at the moment. The fault with Newsvine is that it strives to be a community discussion group with topics and articles for debate coming from independent writers like myself. The problem is, in order to get a decent back...
Ch-ch-ch-check it out
Originally published on Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:40 AM PST at Newsvine. I’ve decided to repost the article here so that my next post will make more sense. It seems fitting that the most famous purveyors of sampling also give it’s concert goers the same privallege when it comes to a concert film. It’s no...
New virus targets photographers
A new virus has been making headlines lately, and this one is nasty. It targets photographers who use Photoshop. Which means it targets 99% of us. (It also targets your Microsoft Office files, but we got file info for captions.) It’s a worm that users have unknowingly downloaded to their systems, and it’s set to...
OpenRAW survey looking for your feedback
The OpenRAW initiative is a photography-oriented group that advocates the open documentation of digital camera RAW files. According to OpenRaw: During the past several months, photographers have become increasingly aware of the actions of camera makers to conceal – and in some cases, to encrypt – information stored in RAW image files. These actions have...
Adobe update camera RAW released
For photojournalist wondering when their new toys would be supported by Adobe Camera RAW, you’ll be glad to hear a new update supports some popular cameras that were hereto now only partially or only through betas. Which is good news, because when I borrowed a Mark II N for a few assignments recently, I was...
