Marcus Bleasdale's new work

I can't believe how consistent this guy has been. Marcus Bleasdale's work is really moving and visually impressive. Here's a link to his recent story, Somalia Exodus.

Yuri Kozyrev

My favorite photographer of the week is Yuri Kozyrev of Noor Images. I saw him show his work at the Eddie Adams Workshop last week and this guy has been on top of his game for a while now. See his work from Iraq.

Multimedia: Teen Pregnancy

I attended the Eddie Adams Workshop last weekend and had the opportunity to work with Mariah Neal, 17, who shared with me what it is like to become pregnant at such a young age. Thank you Mariah for your openness and generosity.

Here's how some recent stuff looked in print.

My shoes on the job

Not a complaint in the world right now. This is me on the back of an ATV while shooting a 'tough jobs' story at a small dairy farm a little bit ago. Look for those pics coming up soon.

James Nachtwey's XDR-TB Project

Work that needs to be seen. Nachtwey's new story on extreme drug resistant tuberculosis.

Also see his recent 20 minute TED talk. Very interesting if you are a fan or have not seen him speak before.
