Another thing that has kept me busy this semester has been the SJSU NPPA student chapter. I am pleased to post our list of guest speakers for the semester (full list of events to come). Tuesday, Sept. 19 – BBQ with new SJSU photojournalism professor, Dr. Michael Cheers. Cheers is a former professor of photojournalism...
PBS launches a new journalistically inclined series that adds to their already impressive roster. The weekly half-hour program chronicles contemporary investigative journalism making headlines. They even interview the newsmakers behind the stories, offering students like myself and news-junkies a glimpse into the thought process behind the stories. Not just the ‘what’, but the ‘why.’...
Turns out I’m deeper than I thought. Or so says a friend (I think I suprised her). I was talking to fellow SJSU photographer Ashley last week and we got on the topic of finding our callings and how we know. When I offered up: For the longest time I nvr knew what was next...
Joyce fell. I only met her a few weeks ago and I already knew we’d still be talking five, ten years down the road. With some people you just know. Unfortunatly two days after she asked me “how do I get to the Sierras?”… and I proceded to tell her only to then say, “Oh...
During the first week of August I had the distinct pleasure of attending the AEJMC convention held in San Francisco, California this year.AEJMC, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, is a non-profit organization aimed at J-School educators, administrators, their students and media professionals. Founded in Chicago, Illinois, in 1912, the non-profit has...
While I was away from SLR, one of the things that was keeping me busy was serving as Online/Multimedia Editor for The Spartan Daily. Among the new things I worked toward implementing, one of my proudest moments was the implementation of multimedia and the new multimedia section. But enough about me, let’s take a look...
Happened to be purusing by Daniel Sato’s blog and to my surprise, fellow photographer and San Jose State University student Diana Diroy has decided to start up a blog of her own. She’s off in the Philippines working on a documentary project, and in the process is reconnecting with her cultural roots. Along the way...
When I tried Slideroll I had no idea I’d be hearing from the creator of the applet himself. Thanks for giving Slideroll a try. I’m the creator, and I must say your critique is dead-on. I’d love to be able to allow people to upload music, but of course I don’t want to get sued...
There’s been a few announcements in the realm of memory card capacity. Largest SD card yet… Lexar goes 8GB… SanDisk goes 8GB… And Sony announced a few months back that a 8GB Memory Stick Duo is coming. But I have to ask, when is enough enough? I agree that larger cards are a good idea,...
Part “What are you talking about,” part “I didn’t do it,” all controversial. And I’m sure that’s just what Sony wanted when they released this add that some are calling racist. I wonder however, maybe this is a cultural thing. If anyone in the Netherlands can enlighten us… I can’t phantom this is what it...
More evolution than revolution, the San Jose State University School of Journalism has a new blog (I really hate this word). JMCjobs lists current opportunities for internships. The same info that used to be posted on the bulletin boards along the walls is now available online, anytime! That’s a big deal! And as Ryan Sholin...
As I roll up my sleves and dive back into SLR, I’ve decided one of the first things I want to do is a redesign. As such I remebered a little JS I found way back when that I liked alot. Of course without a place to host the JS, I can’t use it, but...
