Strobist thought it was cool…

by sdulai on Mar 12, 2008 • No Comments

Ran into a big hunk of equipment complications today, basically I need a portable power pack, and so in my research I ended up heading over to see what ol’ man David Hobby, aka the Strobist guy, was up to these days. I see he’s posted this video for Canadian rock group “Aquaplane” which was...

SJSU Multimedia Academy launch

by sdulai on Mar 8, 2008 • No Comments

I may not be at San Jose State University anymore, but last week one of our projects during my time finally moved from a great idea to the real deal. The SJSU Multimedia Academy was brainstormed last spring as a multi-year, world-wide program to explore the stories that litter the planet, just waiting to be...

PJ loses a friend

by sdulai on Feb 21, 2008 • No Comments

I’ve talked about it before, joked about it and held out hope from the inevitable… but today it has come. This morning the staff of the Albuquerque Tribune heard the news, Saturday would be their last day and after 86-years the doors will closed one last time. It wasn’t the paper of my internship, but...

The warm embrace of Mother Jones

A little shameless self-promotion (because personal cultural modesty isn’t in keeping with the American way). Wee! Another goal off the list.

The best layout in the history of newspapers (take a long hard look)

by sdulai on Dec 24, 2007 • No Comments

Do you see it? No? Focus on the center. Take a look at the two pictures, and no they aren’t from the same story. It maybe hard to read here, but the top image is a stand alone feature and the one below it is a news story on a stolen wallet, the surveillance camera...

Thinking out loud: We need some new tricks

by sdulai on Dec 10, 2007 • No Comments

So here’s a thought. When we were just starting out in multimedia a short 2 (3?) years ago, we were all giddy and excited and couldn’t wait to play with our new toys. And very quickly we started experimenting and trying new things and after a short gestation period with the basics many of us...

CPOY 2008 winners announced

by sdulai on Nov 10, 2007 • No Comments

The annual contest marking the best work coming out of college photographers announced their picks for 2008. A lot of familiar names on there and a few really gripping images to. Although some of the images left me scratching my head, I won’t name names but how it is in one breath we denounce overdoing...

Organizing photos goes all Philip K. Dick

by sdulai on Nov 9, 2007 • No Comments

I don’t write about technology often, I know, this coming from the guy that posts about video-hosting websites, new cameras, RAW processing and Microsoft’s table computer thing, but honest I don’t do it often, check! Anywho I was looking at the Natchway speech from the TED awards again, and I saw this other video on...

Burma protest

by sdulai on Oct 4, 2007 • No Comments

If you’re a photographer and have paid even the slightest sliver of attention to world events, you’ve no doubt heard of what is happening in Burma and most likely you’ve heard of or seen images of Kenji Nagai, 50, the Japanese photographer who was working for Tokyo-based video and photo agency APF News, that was...

Time out Tuesdays: Conjoined Twins

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
