Pat Shannahan of The Arizona Republic just let me know about their new photo blog.

A couple weeks ago, the photojournalists at The Arizona Republic started
Behind the Lens, a photo blog on the paper’s website, azcentral.com. In
addition to posting photos, videos and multimedia, we also share stories
about the images and try to give insight on how we cover the news. We are
trying to keep the content as local as possible. With 16 photographers on
staff, we’re really starting to get a good mix of work and a variety of
voices.

I’m always on the hunt for writing tips because it’s one of the things I struggle with when doing a photo column. The Web site Copyblogger recently put up some tips gleaned from Earnest Hemingway that are pretty helpful. Ernest Hemingway’s Top 5 Tips For Writing Well | Copyblogger.

St. Paul Pioneer Press staff photographer Ben Garvin has visited many corners of the Midwest, both on assignment and out of natural curiosity, and this collection of documentary photographs paints a vivid and revealing portrait of the region.

His lens has captured a quiet moment between two retired farmers discussing the wisdom of selling off the cows, a young boy who can explain why his plastic light sword makes such a wonderful tool for the imagination, widows sharing  thoughts about living alone during a friendly game of cards, and the style considerations facing a young man as he prepares for a Goth prom. The honest charm of the voices melds wonderfully with the subtle virtues of Garvin’s photographic eye to create an indelible mosaic of life in the heart of America’s breadbasket.

Veteran sports photo columnist Bruce Ely has teamed up this year with Jamie Francis to work together on Beyond the Sideline: High School football from around Oregon. Or 98,386 square miles, one game.

From a post on SportsShooter.com Bruce announced the column and talked a little bit about it.

Fellow photographer Jamie Francis and I have started a new photo column here at the Oregonian. We are traveling around the state to document the high school football season. Some will be video and some will be audio slideshows.
