Photographs that Make and Impact with Stan Grossfeld

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of assisting Stan Grossfeld in his Photographs that make an Impact class at the maine Media Workshops. A two time Pulitzer winner, he say's he's probably known more now as a sports writer/photographer for the Boston Globe.

The Students created 7 picture photo essays that were super awesome an diverse considering that they found their stories on Monday (not an easy feat in sleepy mid-coast Maine) then developed them over the week. We had a story on the Homeless in Rockland, Somalians in Lewiston and Water buffalo in Appleton to name a few.

I learned a ton about not only creating a photo story for publication to effect social change but also about photojournalism past and present.

I'd just like to say thanks to Stan and the class!
