The Importance and Ethics of Documentary Photojournalism - Alexia Foundation

Where do you begin when you have so much to say that you're head seems to explode with new ideas and directions? This weekend I attended the Alexia Foundation seminar on photojournalism at ACT and it really was an eye opener. It's not often that you get the chance to listen and talk to photographers, editors and academics working in the field of photojournalism here in Thessaloniki.

I'll write at more length about my impressions on the event when I have more time and can put into words the thousands of thoughts that are whirling around my head. Suffice to say it was a great way to end what has been a pretty intense week.
