The first 100 days of the Trump administration have been deemed chaotic and overzealous, even by Americans, with multiple polls this week showing the President's approval rating underwater, even on his signature issues like the economy and mass deportations. There is an uneasy feeling that Trump is pushing America and the world away from democratic norms by stretching the limits of executive power. Christiane speaks with historians Jill Lepore from Harvard University and Timoth Garten Ash from Oxford University about America's illiberal turn under Trump 2.0 and the deep-seated roots of that illiberalism. Then, as President Trump pressures Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to take decisive action against her country's cartels, CNN's Isobel Yeung went there to investigate what the crackdown looks like first-hand in Sinaloa. Also, as sirens sounded across Israel this week to honor those lost to terror and war, while Israel's total siege on Gaza enters its third month, Christiane talks to bereaved Israeli and Palestinian fathers, Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin who've channeled their grief and pain into friendship and a joint struggle for peace. To mark 50 years since the chaotic end of the Vietnam War, from her archives, Christiane pays a tribute to the famous wartime photographer Eddie Adams who captured some of the worst moments of the war and with his camera, helped change hearts and minds and ultimately, shaped government policy.

Một trong những hình ảnh mang tính biểu tượng và gây tranh cãi nhất của Chiến tranh Việt Nam – bức ảnh “Saigon Execution” do nhiếp ảnh gia Eddie Adams chụp năm 1968 – đã trở thành tâm điểm của bộ phim tài liệu ngắn mới mang tên On Healing Land, Birds Perch do đạo diễn gốc Việt Naja Pham Lockwood thực hiện.
We're off this weekend, but here's a thematically appropriate episode from earlier this year. Come find us on Patreon for our recent political coverage, The Standard Edition series, and more Wild Analysis. We'll be back next Saturday.---While Abby's voice is still gone, Dan and Patrick take in a film on opening day and subject it to some wild analysis. The movie is Civil War (2024), and, to hear director Alex Garland tell it, it's a dire warning of how things could turn out in the US sometime soon. But to Dan and Patrick it's also something else – at once a symptom, a product of underlying anxieties, and a fantasy, a story that's as revealing in what it sets out to portray explicitly as in what it obscures or avoids. And so, after walking through the film's plot and visual grammar (spoiler alert: there are spoilers after 1:05:00), they turn to the recurrent invocations of looming “civil war” in American discourse. How do our fantasies – and not just Garland's – relate to the actual and “official” US Civil War of 1861-1865, and how do they distort the history of that conflict? For audiences sitting in a movie theater deep within the imperial core, what's is and isn't imaginable in terms of a “civil war,” and why must we, like Garland, turn to images of violence abroad in order to dramatize it? What would another civil war actually look like in the contemporary US – and what do our anxious expectations of it in the future, as well as our fixations on fantasies about the past, betray about us and our moment in the here and now? Dan and Patrick ponder these and other questions as well as: the culture and iconography of twentieth century combat photography from Robert Capa and Gerda Taro to Eddie Adams and the Bang Bang Club; the gaps between the fantasies of armchair Operators and the horrifying realities of insurgent warfare; and how The Office and Parks and Recreation relate to War on Terror propaganda.Have you noticed that Freud is back? Got questions about psychoanalysis? Or maybe you've traversed the fantasy and lived to tell the tale? Leave us a voicemail!

There's drugs, blood, inspirational character transformations, and Jessie's Girl.Podcast Instagram: @marathonme_officialPodcast Facebook page: @marathonmeofficalEmail: marathonmepodc@gmail.com

Reilly Don Cheadle Música Michael Penn Fotografía Robert Elswit Sinopsis A finales de los 70, Jack Horner, un director de cine porno que considera su trabajo una forma de arte descubre a Eddie Adams, un joven ingenuo que desea triunfar y que tiene unas características físicas muy adecuadas para ese tipo de cine. Eddie cambia su nombre por el de Dirk Diggler, se adapta inmediatamente a nuevo estilo de vida y pronto se convierte en una gran estrella del porno.
The video of a Russian soldier executing a comrade is circulating on social media. To analyse what this execution means, we'll examine another example. On 30 January 1968 the Tet Offensive erupted. It proved a turning point in the Vietnam War. The decisive psychological blow to American public opinion was expressed in CBS anchor Walter Kronkite's famous 27 February broadcast: 'To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory, conclusion. On the off chance that military and political analysts are right, in the next few months we must test the enemy's intentions, in case this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations. But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honourable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy and did the best they could.' No image contributed more to the growing sense of repulsion over America's commitment to South Vietnam than the street execution of a captured Viet Cong fighter: Nguyễn Văn Lém. The event took place on 1 February in a panic-gripped Saigon. Hanoi's hope of a popular uprising had failed spectacularly but Viet Cong gangs roamed the streets. Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams had spent a fruitless morning with an NBC journalist and Vietnamese camera crew looking for action. They were in the vicinity of the Ấn Quang Pagoda in downtown Saigon and preparing to leave when they noticed a commotion. A captured Viet Cong in plaid shirt and shorts was being manhandled by a group of marines. His hands were cuffed behind his back. The unfortunate Lém was brought to police chief Nguyễn Ngọc Loan. In Adam's words: 'When they were close - maybe five feet away - the soldiers stopped and backed away. I saw a man walk into my camera viewfinder from the left. He took a pistol out of his holster and raised it. I had no idea he would shoot. It was common to hold a pistol to the head of prisoners during questioning. So I prepared to make that picture - the threat, the interrogation. But it didn't happen. The man just pulled a pistol out of his holster, raised it to the VC's head and shot him in the temple. I made a picture at the same time.' Lém collapsed, a jet of blood spouting from his skull. It was all so matter-of-fact and quick. Adams at first tried to pass off the importance of the photograph. It was just some guy shooting another guy. But it was so much more than that. Americans wanted to believe they were fighting a just cause. Loan's revolver blew away that illusion. Loan ended his days as a one-legged pizzeria manager in Virginia, passing away at a relatively young age from cancer. President Jimmy Carter personally intervened to stop his deportation (pressed by House of Representative members on the grounds he had committed a war crime). Adams grew to lament the photograph that won him the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography: 'Two people died in that photograph. The general killed the Viet Cong; I killed the general with my camera.' Today there is an Italian furniture shop near the spot where Lém was killed. Fifty-six years later… Fifty-six years later, three Russian soldiers were jogging on a dirt track near Robotyne in occupied Zaporizhzhia. They were spaced apart, maintaining a short distance between each other. Only the first and last soldiers were armed. Unbeknown to the trio, a Ukrainian FPV drone pilot had them in his sights. He decided to attack the unarmed soldier in the middle. This author has viewed scores of these YouTube videos. If the drone strikes the body it splits open the torso like a carcass in a butcher's shop. Heads fly off. If the warhead detonates near the limbs, one or both legs are ripped off. Or limbs are left i...
A HANDY MAN—Photographers are gearheads. They're always throwing around brand names, model numbers, product specs.So when legendary photographer Eddie Adams asked today's guest, Dan Winters, if he knew how to handle a JD-450, it was a no-brainer. He had grown up with a JD-350. So yeah, the 450 would be no problem.But here's the funny thing: the JD-450 is not made by Nikon. Or Canon. Or Fuji. Or Leica. Not even his beloved Hasselblad. Nope. The JD-450 isn't made in Tokyo, Wetzlar, or Gothenburg.The John Deere 450 bulldozer is made in Dubuque, Iowa, USA.And what Eddie Adams urgently needed right at that moment, was someone to backfill, level, and compact a trench at his farm, which, coincidentally, was prepping to host the first-ever Eddie Adams Workshop, the world-renowned photojournalism seminar, at his farm in Sullivan County, New York, near the site of the 1969 Woodstock music festival.Get to know Dan Winters a little bit, and none of this will come as a surprise to you. It also won't surprise you that the bulldozer incident isn't even the funniest part of the story of how Winters got to New York City in 1988 to launch what has become one of the most distinguished careers in the history of editorial photography. A career which began with his first job at the News-Record, a 35,000-circulation newspaper in Thousand Oaks, California.The secret—spoiler alert—to his remarkable career, Winters will say, “is based in a belief that I'm being very thorough with my pursuits and being very realistic. I'm not lying to myself about the effort I'm putting into it. Because this is not a casual pursuit at all. This is 100 percent commitment.”Well, that, and out-of-this-world talent and vision.

Ian and Cole lace up their skates and crank up the hi-fi sound system for this 25th-anniversary review of Boogie Nights!Mark Wahlberg stars as Eddie Adams, a starry-eyed busboy who gets lured into the glamourous world of adult films by top director Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) and his colorful cast and crew. Before long, the abnormally well-endowed Eddie adopts the persona "Dirk Diggler" and rockets to fame--which turns out to be a trap lined with drugs, violence, and shady hangers-on.Paul Thomas Anderson's homage to the decline of 70s porn culture remains unmatched in its balance of candy-coated hedonism and coke-fueled bleakness. Watch as the guys dig into the good, the bad, and the Diggler with tangents on the ethics of sex work; the crazy number of future Marvel characters getting it on in the Valley; and how the writer/director's epic, found-family vision neatly lines up with The Godfather!

Twenty-five years ago, director Paul Thomas Anderson shook up the cinematic world with this epic tale focusing on the adult film industry in the 1970's and 1980's. He borrowed techniques from Robert Altman and Martin Scorcese but he made them his own with this sprawling tale of Eddie Adams, a teenager played by Mark Wahlberg with ONE special gift. This one special gift helps Eddie become an instant star with the name of Dirk Diggler – we witness his rise and fall within the industry along with stories of so many others around him portrayed by an impressively stacked cast including Burt Reynolds, Julianne More, Don Cheadle, the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly, and Heather Graham, along with so many others….. And If you still don't want to hear this review after reading the above, then that's not an MP…..that's a YP, YOUR problem. :O Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
In 1997 everyone got their dicks out for Paul Thomas Anderson and his epic story of porn's highs and lows when he released Boogie Nights. PTA's film tells the story of Eddie Adams, a young horse cocked fella who is lured into the sexy world of porn and ends up becoming its biggest star, Dirk Diggler. But drugs and ego get the best of him and his world falls apart. Can Dirk and his new family cum together to save themselves and each other? I dunno, maybe? Starring Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heather Graham, Boogie Night's had as much talent as it had length. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent, discuss how much cock could a Wahlberg chuck if a Wahlberg could chuck cock as we try to decide if this one get's hard or is hard to get.

New York based commercial/editorial fashion and lifestyle photographer Jacob Pritchard joins the podcast to talk about how he went from a kid growing up in Denver, CO with a love for the mountains and an early interest in photography, to working as an intern for pulitzer winning newspapers, to attending the Eddie Adams workshop, to moving to New York and sleeping on a stranger's couch, to finally finding his place in the ever growing world of professional photographers and building the body of work he is known for today. During our conversation Jacob talks about his recent project working with Acme Brooklyn on a shoot for Harpers Bazaar Vietnam, how personal work continues to drive most of his commissioned work, how he feels about the current pace of photography and how we both feel about slowing down and shooting for the meditational practice of it, and the advice he gives to others chasing their own photography dreams.

In today's episode, I will be speaking with Eddie Adams about part two of his life story. I think you will all be amazed at his outlook on life, his strength and I'm still astounded at his positive hilarious nature that is just infectious.After listening and speaking to Eddie in person, I was completely overwhelmed by his honesty about how he felt about death. I'm not sure how we would all feel if we were given a timeline on life, and we knew we potentially had, 7,8,9 months left to live. I want everyone who listens to this podcast to take a leaf from Eddie's book and live for every second and every moment you can, be you, fight hard for what you want, be heard and be proud.As Eddie mentioned, the government only funds 1% of the budget to brain tumour research and offers no other clinical trials at this stage, which is ludicrous considering brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.In support of Eddie's story, if you would like to make a donation to Brain Tumour Research you can DONATE HERESocial:Host - @oncelostnowproudGuest - @eddieokadamsCharity - @braintumourrschhttps://www.braintumourresearch.org/donation/donate-nowSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/proudmedia)
In today's episode, I'm interviewing Eddie Adams, and some of you may know him by his stage name, "Eddie OK Adams." He has graced us with his presence as one of the first and most original drag queens of the UK, and as you will hear, his originality started very young and continues to this day. Eddie talks of how he came out as gay, how he got into the drag industry, his political views, his good, bad and indifferent experience with relationships, and what it was like for him growing up and being different to what some might say was the norm. Eddie has had many curves balls and actual bricks and bottles thrown at him in life, but what I love is his willingness to carry on no matter what life throws at him. This story is separated into two parts because this story deserves that and because before Eddie's life was turned upside down in 2017, he's lived an extraordinary life that we should all pay attention to. I think you'll agree that we can all learn a thing or two from Eddie, I can promise you, if you get nothing else, you'll laugh and that's good for the soul, Eddie is good for your soul, so press play and have a listen to Part one of Glam to Damn.Social Host - @oncelostnowproudGuest - @eddieokadamsSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/proudmedia)
Welcome to photography insights, the show that interviews people from the photography world. I’m your host Andrew Walmsley and today we have an intellectual and thought provoking photographer for you. Dima Gavrysh started life in Ukraine and is now living and working in the USA (near Silicon Valley). A man who has master degrees in cinematography from Kyiv and photography from Rhode Island (RiSD)! He’s a well travelled man who has worked as a freelance photojournalist for the Associated Press. I first came across Dima’s work through lenscratch because of his work in Afghanistan. He tells us about important moments in his career like during 9/11 he was scanning in a news room and seeing what happened made him move to New York. Dima ended up with an internship at the Washington Post as a prize for a Eddie Adams workshop. After time he realised this had no meaning and saw the never ending war of Afghanistan in the news. That was the catalyst and volunteered to go over. Dima talks about getting to know soldiers and the experience of them not coming back again. The realities of war are boredom, anticipation and fear. His take from his time was he found out lots of things about himself and had more questions that answers! From his work in Afghanistan he's created a book from his project called "Inshallah" - which means "god willing". In this one we are going to discuss: technology is not important destined to be doctor what education did for him introductions were key restrictions of shooting short form vs long form news Prince Charles & President Obama meeting Afghan elders press and the military being macho the tech industry iPhone shooting reading Links Website - https://dimagavrysh.com/ Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/3868284680/?coliid=INK10UL7ORHW6&colid=1O92LNQN8SUMN&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Donations Please don't forget i've launched the KO-FI donation page, for anyone wanting to help me fund improvements to the show.

In this week's episode we're rolling out a new format - [Deconstructing the Narrative]. Every so often the podcast will deconstruct a popular narrative providing context and nuance behind it, to get to the truth. In this week's episode we deconstruct the narrative from the most infamous photograph of the war in Vietnam. On February 1st 1968, US photographer Eddie Adams caught the precise moment South Vietnamese General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan executed Nguyễn Văn Lém with his .38 special Smith & Wesson. The narrative of Loan ruthlessly killing Lem went viral, and is still widely believed to this day. But is that really the case? Listen to find out. LINK TO PHOTONarrativemonopoly.comTwitter
From a recent interview with Intrepid Camera. “Nick Brandreth is the Historic Process Specialist at the George Eastman Museum, where he runs workshops that teach people how to create images using photographic techniques that span the whole of the medium’s history. The workshops provide alternative methods of creating images as opposed to simply buying consumer film for people who want to get their hands dirty. “With a lot of photography pre-1900, everything was made by hand,” Brandreth says. “You'd go out and purchase chemicals and mix 'em together and make your own material. And there was a culture, at the beginning of photography, where everything was made by hand. I think people like that.” Brandreth’s hands-on approach naturally suits the experimentation that large format photography offers. With the right attitude, the possibilities really are endless. “Because of the beauty of large format, you can Frankenstein a different lens with the camera and make your own format sizes,” Brandreth says. “It's the best. It's actually cheaper for me now because I have the skills and know-how, so I just make my own emulsion and all I have to pay for is raw material.” https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/blog/nick-brandreth-s-large-format-phantasmagoria Things we chatted about on the show: Nick attended a workshop at the George Eastman Museum on historical processes with Mark Osterman who we seem to mention every show – here is an interview by Robert Gojevic. https://www.robertgojevic.com/mark-osterman/ Soon after this Nick found himself working as Mark’s apprentice at the museum and now teaches anyone who cares to listen through workshops in person or, increasingly these days, via social media. Nick’s recent work was informed by the historic “horror theatre” known as Phantasmagoria – Wikipedia comes to the rescue yet again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria The full interview with Intrepid Camera can be read and seen here. https://intrepidcamera.co.uk/blog/nick-brandreth-s-large-format-phantasmagoria And all the images on Nick’s website. https://www.nickbrandreth.com/Seeing%20Shadows/ Nick’s earlier work after leaving college where he studied photojournalism, was influenced by the work of, amongst others, Eddie Adams (you will know the image of the Vietnam Police officer shooting a Vietcong member in the head in the street). https://www.eddieadamsworkshop.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Adams_(photographer) If you have any questions about emulsion making then speak with Nick as he has mastered numerous techniques inspired by Ron Mowry and Nick tells the story of his now hard to find book at the end of the show. http://stores.photoformulary.com/photographic-emulsion-making-coating-and-testing-book-by-ron-mowrey/ If you don’t want to make your own emulsion you can buy it from a number of sources. Andrew uses (with mixed success so far) the Rollei Black Magic Nick mentions. If you are in the UK you can get it from Nova Darkroom and various others. Mel Digiacomo was a mentor to Nick as he strived to express his photojournalist voice.

You ever seen so many mustaches in one place that you couldn't focus on just one? Well, that's Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights. This movie is sort of long and this episode is longer than usual, but who the hell cares! I'm joined by the great Mike Wood from The Grindbin Podcast, as we honor the legendary Burt Reynolds. This damn movie has everything. A young Mark Wahlberg playing an even younger Mark Wahlberg, hilarious porno actor names, disco music, 80's music, a red corvette, hilarious oil paintings and a ton of cocaine red! Now sit back and relax as we take this incredible journey and watch Eddie Adams become Dirk Diggler!
Another week indoors, another lengthy discussion regarding an under-appreciated classic of cinema! Boogie Nights, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson in 1997 is a hero's journey of unexpected proportions that highlights the conflicting juxtaposition of morals, ideology and intention that seem to manifest around a young rising star in any industry. It could be the music industry, it could be the sports world but in the case of Eddie Adams (played by Mark Wahlberg) AKA Dirk Diggler, we are diving into the glitzy yet harrowing world of the golden age of 1970's pornography.

everybody listening to this podcast probably knows either from practical experience or just intuitively that crafting a career as a photographer or other visual creator is no small feat. From staving off burnout to managing finances, freelancers have to DO IT ALL. So why is it then that freelancers so often fail to actually break out of the vicious cycle of feast or famine workloads?Well, our guest today is the perfect example of how to make it happen as a freelance photojournalist by diving in headfirst into new locations and experiences and figuring it all out along the way. Lauren Justice is a freelance photojournalist currently based in Madison, Wisconsin. Trust, intimacy, and time are cornerstones of her work and believes in using photography as a tool for education, awareness, and understanding. Clients of hers include The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and NPR just to name but a few. Lauren has attended the Eddie Adams workshop and the New York Portfolio Review (where we start today’s conversation – so if you’ve been pining after getting that invitation letter, we talk about everything you’ll want to know going into it). Lauren and I talk through her strategy as a two-time NYT portfolio review invitee and how in-person meetings with editors have led to far more work than cold emails or pitches. We then get into her career as an independent photojournalist and the path that took her across the country from Ohio to Flint, Michigan, Nebraska, and finally to Madison, Wisconsin and the visual stories she crafted along the way. And finally we go in deep on her recent incredible portrait series featured on the NYT Lens Blog ‘What Would I Have Done if I Would Have Killed Her That Night?’ and her process for long-term storytelling.
On the 1st February 1968, American photojournalist Eddie Adams took a photograph of South Vietnamese National Police Chief General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan executing Viet Cong officer Nguyễn Văn Lém in ...

On today's podcast I speak with creative director, photo editor, and photographer Maureen Cavanagh who is the current creative director at The Player's Tribune.

Beyond working as a photo editor as well as shooting Maureen has volunteered her time to the Eddie Adams workshop as a producer helping young and emerging photographers. Maureen is someone who has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the photo business so I was excited to hear about her journey. I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.

The year 1968 was a momentous and turbulent year throughout the world: from the Prague Spring and the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, to the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F Kennedy, to the Tet offensive and the surprise victory of Richard Nixon (possibly the most normal thing that […]
"I was like, If I spend as much time working on my own stuff as I do working at this desk I could probably make just about anything happen, so goodbye." Nicole Craine's successes in the documentary/photojournalism world can be attributed to her ability to know when it's time to walk away and when it's time to lean in. Nicole has walked away from a couple of steady photo related jobs in New York that others would kill to have in order to pursue her work and, one time, so she could meet Quest Love, more on that in the show. Those moments created space in her life where she could then lean in to pursue opportunities by not being afraid to just call people up. This led to getting into the Eddie Adams workshop, joining the Everyday Project, showing her work to the New York Times, and receiving some serious interest in her family-based project. We hit upon a lot different topics in this episode such as race, politics, censorship, and the getting work as a female photojournalist.

Nguyễn Văn Lém was a Viet Cong captain who was arrested by the South Vietnamese Army after leading a raid on a camp and killing a large number of civilians. Upon being taken in front of Brigadier General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, Lém was summarily executed by Loan with a revolver. By all rights, this would have been one of many such incidents in the complicated conflict that was the Vietnam War. Yet the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém became something the world knew about because the Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams managed to snap a picture at the moment the gun was fired. Nguyễn Văn Lém's face as he was dying was seen by millions, and the photograph became an iconic image of the Vietnam War. The photo would win Adams a Pulitzer and help galvanize the anti-Vietnam War movement in America. Adams would feel sorry for what became of Loan, while also regretting he was most well known for the image of the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lém.
The Vietnam War produced indelible wartime photography. “The Vietnam War” takes a closer look at the stories behind the photos, including Eddie Adams's famous picture of a street-corner execution in Saigon during the Tet Offensive.
This week's guest is Mr. Eddie Adams and he shoulders a impressive Bio that tales of his extensive work in the Tampa Bay Community. More Extensively is his "FIRST" as a African-American in several fields.

The B&H Photography Podcast was very fortunate to be invited to the 29th Eddie Adams Workshop this year. The annual workshop, officially sponsored by Nikon, with support from B&H, is a unique and inspiring event, bringing together 100 young photographers with some of the world’s most recognized photojournalists and editors, including thirteen Pulitzer Prize winners, for four intense days of photographic presentation and collaboration. Tim Rasmussen, Director of Digital and Print Photography at ESPN, joined us for a chat in our improvised studio in the fabled barn on the Eddie Adams farm. Prior to ESPN, Rasmussen was the Assistant Managing Editor of Photography and Multimedia at the Denver Post and under his lead, their photo department earned three Pulitzer Prizes. Tim is also a member of the Board of Directors at the Eddie Adams Workshop and, in addition to having been a team leader, producer and editor at the workshop, he was a student in its very first year—1988. Our conversation with Rasmussen revolves around the workshop—how he came to attend the first-ever workshop, why it has become a breeding ground and “sanctuary” for two generations of talented photojournalists and, of course, around Eddie Adams himself. We also talk with Rasmussen about his own career, transition from photographer to editor, and how he ended up at ESPN. Within this relaxed conversation there is much to learn—about the threads of life and the nature of commitment, about the practice of photojournalism and, particularly for young photographers, about what an editor looks for when hiring a photographer.

The B&H Photography Podcast was very fortunate to be invited to the 29th Eddie Adams Workshop this year. The annual workshop, officially sponsored by Nikon with support from B&H, is a unique and inspiring event, bringing together 100 young photographers with some of the world’s most recognized photojournalists and editors, including thirteen Pulitzer Prize winners, for four intense days of photographic presentation and collaboration. The team leaders and speakers are a who’s-who of the photojournalism community, and we took our opportunity to sit down with many of them for conversations that ranged from personal inspiration and technical innovation to the photographer-editor relationship and how to set a camera trap for mountain lions. In the weeks to come, we will present several of our “conversations from the barn,” thus named because we created an impromptu studio in the fabled barn on the Eddie Adams farm. Our first conversation joins Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer John H. White and photographer, artist, and educator Endia Beal. Mr. White could be considered the spiritual heart of the workshop and anyone who hears him speak will understand why. His work for Chicago’s daily newspapers dates back to the late 1960s, and he was on staff at the Chicago Sun-Times when he earned his Pulitzer. His work is well rounded, as any newspaper photographer’s should be, and covers events big and small, but it his depiction of Chicago’s African-American community that has garnered the most attention. We speak with him about his upbringing in North Carolina, his relationship with his subjects, including his friend Muhammad Ali, and the most important camera he has ever used. Endia Beal is an accomplished artist currently serving as Associate Professor of Art and the Director of the Diggs Gallery at Winston-Salem State University. Her early artistic work emerged from personal tragedy and called into question cultural and skin-color-based stereotypes in her hometown community. Her more recent work continues to pose questions, exploring the identity of minority women within the corporate space. Join us as we chat with these two remarkable people about their lives and work.

AP photographer Eddie Adams captured this brutal moment in the Vietnam War – the execution of a Viet Cong prisoner by the chief of South Vietnam’s national police – and won a Pulitzer Prize. The anti-war movement adopted the image for their cause, but Adams, who kept in touch with the police chief after the war, said the photo wrongly stereotyped the man.
On this episode Robert Caplin chats the one-and-only Alyssa Adams, deputy editor at TV Guide Magazine and executive director of the Eddie Adams Workshop. Back in 1988, Alyssa and her late husband, Eddie Adams, founded this annual, tuition-free workshop that invites the 100 top students and early professional photographers, chosen strictly by the merit of their portfolios, to their barn in Jeffersonville, NY at the peek of Autumn, to participate in one of the industry's longest-running and respected workshops. They talk about Alyssa's background in design, how she got into the photo industry, how she and Eddie met, and they talk all about the workshop Robert attended a decade ago as a student and has since returned as a team producer. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of The Photo Brigade podcast!

An interview with Susan Morgan Cooper, a documentary filmmaker, about her latest film, a profile of Pulitizer-Prize winning photographer Eddie Adams. "An Unlikely Weapon," profiles the life of Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams, who shot the iconic photograph of national police chief Nguyen Ngoc Loan shooting to death a captured Viet Cong prisoner, Nguyen Van Lem on a Saigon street in 1968. The photograph, capturing the shooting at the exact moment of impact, won Adams a Pulitzer Prize. The photograph was credited with turning the American public against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Adams, after the war, also documented the plight of Vietnamese refugees leaving their homeland. Interviewer: Daniel C. Tsang, show host. Copyright c 2009
