The 2007 Kalish, an alternate vision
Jon Fobes, night picture editor for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and a Kalish graduate, presents a slightly more irreverant slideshow of the 2007 workshop. Some of the same pictures as the more serious version on the home page, but . . . With the length and intensity of the workshop sessions, after-class hours are a chance for relief and entertainment. Why bowling? It's a long story.
Faculty work: A Pulitzer Prize winner
Cyndie French and her son Derek opened their lives for a year to share Derek's battle with terminal cancer. Faculty member Sue Morrow edited and designed "A Mother's Journey" by Renee C. Byer, which won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in feature photography and the World Understanding Award in POYi. (The Sacramento Bee requires registration to read stories, but not to look at the slideshows or video.)
University project: 36 hours in Columbia, Missouri
"It took five weeks of planning, 29 photographers, 12 picture editors, 62 photo assignments, seven pizzas, six bags of candy and countless runs for coffee. We ended up with 11,374 pictures that capture families, college presidents, gravediggers, people delivering pizza and teenagers attending the big game. There were two purposes for the project: to teach students how to plan and execute a big project and to give our readers something they’d never seen before." --The Missourian staff
University project: Soul of Athens, Ohio
And in an even more ambitious effort, the students at Ohio University undertake a massive multimedia project. They ask, "What is the soul of the 200-year-old community of Athens, Ohio? Athens' soul is restless. Its stories lie beneath the bricks, waiting to be exposed. Precariously balanced on the tip of cosmopolitan Appalachia, its uninhibited subcultures test the bounds of predictability." (Kalish faculty member Brian Storm acted as a mentor for the students during this project.)
Student work: And for something less serious
USA Today photographed and interviewed Country Music Association artists, and put together this multimedia report. No wordy introduction. The photographs and multimedia production speak for themselves. Offered by 2006 participant Jym Wilson, Supervising Photography Editor for the Life section.
