Podcast appearances and mentions of jeff widener

We met with photographer and podcaster Frederick Van Johnson to learn about the latest developments in photography and philosophize with him about the outsized role it plays in our evolving world. Van Johnson contends that photos like Jeff Widener's 1989 shot of Tank Man in Tiananmen Square have always had the power to communicate immense meaning in the glance of an eye. A photo can tell a story and can change minds. Advancements in photography are expanding access to the stories that need to be told. And yet, a photo is half the capture of the image, and half the "“performance" of modifying the image to tell the stories that want to be seen and heard. Can we assume that any photo today reflects the "truth?" No. But this science fiction future need not be doom and gloom if we are solving for humans and trying to make the world better for humans. AI and technology advancement is not a zero sum game. It is always changing and growing, as are we. The key is to see where things are going and press forward smartly to take advantage of the bigger "wrenches" that are now within reach. We can do more with less, and live more meaningful, human lives. Join us.

This is the 2nd episode of the Player Special for NAU Football! Today I talked with Redshirt Freshman QB Jeff Widener! Listen now to hear all about him and his time so far on the team!

A conversation with Jeff Widener, formerly a Southeast Asia photo editor for the Associated Press, who took the most widely circulated, famous version of the "Tank Man" photo: a picture of the anonymous Chinese man who stood in front of a line of tanks entering Beijing during the Tiananmen Square protests on June 5, 1989.

On June 5, 1989, photojournalist Jeff Widener --who used to be with the Honolulu Advertiser -- took what turned out to be the iconic photographer called "Tankman," of a lone man in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square.  Jeff talked with Island Conversations host Sherry Bracken about the environment in China during that time and how he got that iconic photo at what we hear is significant personal peril.  That photo was printed around the world, and began to show the world what was really going on in China at that time. Photo of Tankman copyright Jeff Widener, used with permission of Jeff Widener. Air date:  June 14, 2020, a rebroadcast of an interview that first aired in June, 2015  

Join Ross and Matt as they chat to Edmond Terakopian, a multi award winning photo journalist and film maker.Cutting his teeth as a young but brilliant local newspaper photographer, he honed his craft over the years that held him in good stead and prepared him for a long and impressive career that now finds him in such diverse assignments where he shoots fashion one week, hard news the next and circumstances on one story has inadvertently had him running through a minefield. He shares that photojournalists are often rushing towards danger where most people would run the other way.Get in touch with Edmond:Website: http://terakopian.comhttps://photothisandthat.co.ukTwitter: https://twitter.com/terakopianInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/terakopian/ Keep in touch with Talking Shot Podcast updates and new episodes by subscribing to our Podcast on your favourite Podcast App. We'd love to hear your suggestions or wishes for future guests.Website: http://www.talkingshot.co.ukTwitter: @talkingshotpodInstagram: @talkingshotFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/talkingshot/Our guests views are their own, and may not be those of the Talking Shot team.Recommended Podcasts:He Shoots He DrawsMastering Portrait PhotographyPPN - Photography Podcast NetworkRecommended by The British Institute of Professional Photographers. 

Born and raised in China, author Anna Wang was in Tiananmen Square during those protests in 1989. She joins Tim to talk about what she saw, what she experienced, and what she learned since the events, the government crackdown that followed, the ripple effect those protests continue to have today. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/105_-_Tiananmen_Square.mp3   In the Spring of 1989, student-led demonstrations happened in Beijing. The protests centered in the Chinese city's Tiananmen Square. The protestors wanted democracy. They wanted speech, and they wanted a free press in China. But what they got was a bloody crackdown by the Chinese government on June 4th and 5th of that year. The students had originally marched through Beijing to Tiananmen Square after the death of Hu Yaobang. He was a former Communist Party leader who had worked to introduce democratic reform in China. To mourn Hu, the students demanded a more open, democratic government. Thousands of people joined the students in Tiananmen Square, where the numbers rose to many thousand by the middle of May. The people were getting frustrated with limits placed on political freedom in a one-party government. Communism ruled. By 1989, the Chinese government had instituted some reforms that created a limited form of capitalism, but the poor and working class continued to suffer under communism, including lack of employment and increased poverty. The student protestors wanted a better education system that included teachings on free-market capitalism. In early May, a number of the protestors started a hunger strike, and that inspired other similar protests. The movement grew. The Chinese government responded by declaring martial law on May 20th, and 250,000 government troops entered Beijing. At the end of the month, more than one million protestors convened in Tiananmen Square. They held marches and vigils, and had attracted the attention of the world. On June 4th, in the middle of the night, Chinese soldiers and police raided Tiananmen Square, firing live ammunition into the crowd of protestors. Protestors were gunned down by automatic rifles, snipers, and armored personnel carriers. Some protestors were bayoneted and others were run over by those military vehicles. Many protestors sought to escape, while others fought back, stoning the attacking troops and setting fire to vehicles. In the end, rough estimates were that hundreds, if not thousands of protestors were killed, and as many as 10,000 protestors were arrested and punished. The next day, June 5th, bulldozers were brought in to clear the area of the dead, and janitors used hoses to wash the blood away. The wounded protestors were taken to the hospital on bicycle rickshaws. On June 5th, Associated Press photographer Jeff Widener took a photo that is now iconic and has come to symbolize the Tiananmen Square incident. It's commonly referred to as “Tank Man.” That morning, Widener took a position on a sixth-floor balcony of the Beijing Hotel. His job was to capture the aftermath of the violence. He took photos of bloody victims, people on bikes, scorched vehicles. That's when a column of tanks started to leave the plaza. That's when he took a photo of a man in a white shirt, carrying two shopping bags, one in each hand at his sides. The man had stepped in front of the first tank. He waved his arms and refused to move. When the tanks tried to go around the man, he moved into their path. He actually climbed on top of one of the tanks at one point. Anna Wang (the first on the right) taking a parting photo with her teacher and friends in Peking University, June 1988 Surprisingly, the tanks didn't fire at the man. The image was captured and would make its way around the work and across generations. To this day, no one knows who the man was or whatever happened to him. Our guest, Anna Wang, was a recent graduated of Peking University,

Hear from the man that took the photo, Jeff Widener, about his experience during the events in Tiananmen, China in 1989.

Thirty years ago Chinese troops opened fire on protestors in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. The most recognizable image from the crackdown is the Tank Man photo. Today we speak to Jeff Widener, the photographer who took that iconic image.

Despite covering major stories in over 100 countries, award winning photojournalist Jeff Widener is best known for his iconic photograph of a lone Chinese protester standing in front of a column of tanks during the Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing, China in 1989. The ‘Tank Man’ photo won Widener worldwide acclaim. He was a Pulitzer Finalist and his photo was picked by America Online as one of the top 10 photos of all time. More interesting than the photo, however, is the backstory of how Widener got the photo and his surreptitious way of getting the film back to the Associated Press office in China to distribute the picture worldwide. On this edition of the “Spectrum Podcast,” hear the details from Widener himself…the twists and turns of what he had to do to get this amazing photograph. Also, hear how this famous photojournalist got started taking pictures at age 7 and while in high school won the 1974 Kodak/Scholastic National Photography Scholarship beating out over 8000 competitors. He then worked for several major newspapers until he was, at age 24, named to a position as foreign correspondent photographer for United Press International in Brussels, Belgium. In 1989 he was named the Associated Press Southeast Asia Picture Editor in Bangkok, Thailand. He has covered the Gulf War and ethnic battles in Sri Lanka. Widener also was the first photojournalist to capture and file digital images from the South Pole. Widener currently is a freelance photographer based in Hamburg, Germany. He also presents guest lectures at colleges and universities across the globe. Recently, Widener was a featured speaker at the 2019 Schuneman Symposium on New Media and Photo Journalism in the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University.

Interview with Jeff Widener - Inspiration from the famous “Tank Man” photographer on his famous image, his photojournalism career, and inspirational words for other photographers.   This is episode #13 of the Camera and Inspiration show at “PPN - Photo Podcast Network” for April 2018.   This episode is sponsored by: Skylum’s Aurora HDR 2018 software - The #1 HDR Software for Mac & Windows Use the discount code “PHOTOPODCASTS” to save $10 at checkout.   This is the 50th podcast episode at PPN and we invited a very special photographer for this episode: Jeff Widener is an American photojournalist who is best known for his famous “Tank Man” image from Beijing in 1989. Time magazine has selected this photo as one of the 100 most influential images of all time.   Marco picked Jeff Widener as the PPN inspirational photographer of the month, and Jeff shares the thrilling moments and the many coincidences that led to him taking the famous Tank Man photo and how it has changed his career.   But a world famous and powerful iconic image such as “Tank Man“ often reduces a photographer in public perception to that image. And while sometimes struggling with the nimbus of his famous image, Jeff has proven over and over again that he is a very talented photographer with a strong body of work. http://www.jeffwidener.com In this interview he shares what made him want to become a photographer, how he advanced in his career, and some of the funny and interesting experiences that he has made during his work as a photojournalist. https://www.instagram.com/jeff.widener/   Quotes from the interview:   "You don’t just take a picture - you have to feel it."   "I need more chaos in my images..."   "I’ll be 62 in August and I’m still trying to find solutions to problems that have been bugging me about my work for years."   Here are the links to Jeff’s work and social media accounts:  Web: http://www.jeffwidener.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeff.widener/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JeffSWidener/   Marco’s inspirational photo book of the month is called: “Modern Color” - by Fred Herzog. Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2vTUBDV   Published by Hatje Cantz (approx 320 pages): http://www.hatjecantz.de/fred-herzog-6837-1.html   Fred Herzog is mainly known for his photography in Vancouver where he focused primarily on capturing working-class life. He shot mainly on Kodachrome which marginalized him since most artists shot in B&W in the 1950’s and 1960’s. But he has and his work has been recognized in recent years and I certainly want to introduce you to his work and his book Modern Color. Herzog once said: “I wanted to show the world the way it is” The book mainly consists of beautiful color photographs of the 1950’s to 1970’s and the color is simply stunning If you had never shot Kodachrome and want to get an idea why so many dearly miss it, you will instantly find out after opening this book. This book should be on the very top of the list because it is a great example for those of you who may think that there is nothing interesting to photograph in your town anymore. Looking at old images is always interesting, Cars, clothes, houses, no smartphones, but what do you think Fred saw when he stepped out of his door in 1958? It all looked to him like when you step out of your door today. Study this book and see what caught his attention and convert it into today’s life. You may be amazed at the opportunities that lay before you. The book covers a lot of different scenes, some that include humans, but if you are not comfortable with photographing humans without asking beforehand, there are plenty of images of cars, houses, posters, and signs that are just stunning.
