"Not just a number" interview

by sdulai on Mar 21, 2007 • No Comments

A quasi-update on an earlier post I made about the Not Just a Number series now appearing on the Oakland Tribune… as I do from time to time, I headed over to Ryan Sholin’s blog to check out what nuggets of reflection he’s got in store for me to ponder when lo and behold I...

Cuban Streets and Latin Beats

by sdulai on Mar 21, 2007 • No Comments

When Mediastorm launched a little over a year ago one of the centerpieces was “1976” a project that fused the beats of DJ RJD2 with a street photography aesthetic and an amazing flair for style and visuals. It’s more music video than journalism, but it’s just to good to ignore. I recently came across it...

The real way how three months salery is made to last forever

by sdulai on Mar 20, 2007 • No Comments

I just saw “Blood Diamond” last night, a great film by the way. It’s Edward Zwick return to the elegant simplicity of “Glory” and departure from the boisterous frivolity of “The Last Samurai.” I’d always hoped Zwick would recapture his talent, a mature director with a steady hand and a pure understanding of the fundamentals,...

A long overdue "yippie!"

by sdulai on Mar 20, 2007 • No Comments

With all the commotion in my life the past few months, I virtually forgot all about this post I’ve had in mind for a while. Things within the photojournalism department at San Jose State University are happening, the community is buzzing, the new crop of students are involved, and many of my colleges are getting...

New faces, old faces, many laughes and a sunset on the beach

by sdulai on Mar 17, 2007 • No Comments

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of hanging out with some of the new students in the PJ program at San Jose State University during our NPPA chapter sponsored Spring Shootout in Capitola. In between lessons of technique, I had a great time getting to know some of the new faces I keep seeing and...

24 on|24 off :a documentary

by sdulai on Mar 16, 2007 • No Comments

“24 on|24 off” is a documentary where I shadowed the firefighters of the C-shift of Engine 2 in San Jose, Ca. My intention was to show the “family” side of life in the firehouse and rather than documenting the fires, which I saw as cliché, I wanted to go deeper into who these people were...

I finally went to the beach

by sdulai on Feb 15, 2007 • No Comments

After nearly six weeks at the internship in lovely Santa Cruz, I finally made it to the beach, which if you know me is flabbergasting. I’m the guy my friends know as the one who takes off for the beach when he’s bored or wants to clear his head or needs a destination to drive...

Some cold hard RAW

by sdulai on Aug 20, 2006 • No Comments

Adobe has been rumbling about RAW again. As I pointed out… way back when… Adobe looked to be answering Apple’s challenge of Aperture with LightRoom. (Oh no, I see a soapbox! Why didn’t Adobe call it LightTable? Doesn’t that make more sense? It’s an editing program and where did we edit our takes in the...

Gordon Parks

by sdulai on Mar 12, 2006 • No Comments

Gordon Parks passed away. He’s one of the guys I looked up to, and he’s one of the photographers and filmmakers I aspired to follow in the steps of. I’m not going to try and say much more of anything here, rather I’ll just share of the pictures that have resonated with me. Harlem, LIFE...

Ethics of Photojournalism in the pre-digital age

by sdulai on Jan 30, 2006 • 1 Comment

Photographic manipulation and the questions of ethics aren’t a recent creation of the Photoshop era. As the Museum of Hoaxes shows us it’s as old as photography. In the above picture: In 1925, as the story goes, New York News photographer Harry Warnecke was out looking for a feature and happened to see a traffic...

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 […]
