March 6:  ASPP FILM SERIES - LOOKING FOR AN ICON a film by Hans Pool & Maaik Krijgsman

 

LOOKING FOR AN ICON examines the process by which photos become icons, revealing that once a photo is published, social forces are at work beyond the photographer's control. The film focuses on four World Press Photo winners, including Eddie Adams's 1968 photo of the public execution of a Viet Cong prisoner, an anonymous photographer's last image of Salvador Allende during the 1973 coup, Charlie Cole's 1989 photo of a lone student confronting tanks in Tiananmen Square, and David Turnley's 1991 photo of a grieving soldier during the first Gulf War.

The film details the story behind each of those world-famous images, featuring interviews with the photographers, and showing additional images from the contact sheets. LOOKING FOR AN ICON also features interviews with other photographers, photo editors, critics, educators, historians and members of the World Press Photo jury.

The commentary by these photojournalists and other professionals offer insights into the social process by which a photo becomes iconic, the visual motifs they illustrate, the public's voyeuristic fascination with horrific images, and how such images shape historical memory.

10/22/07: ALTERNATE MARKETS FOR BUYING AND SELLING IMAGES


In light of recent ground-shaking changes in the stock marketplace, we invited five new contenders to explain their offerings to our audience -- over seventy ASPP-NY Chapter members.  You've heard of Digital Railroad and IPNStock, but how about Photoshelter?  You might know about StockPhotoFinder but what about CompassPix?  Together we explored factors in the changing image marketplace and the impact each of our presenters' companies is having on our professions.

Speakers:
    Paul Melcher, CEO CompassMedia
    Evan Nisselson, CEO Digital Railroad
    Brad Kuhns, Co-founder IPN Stock
    Allen Murabayashi, CEO Photoshelter 
    Randy Taylor, CEO StockMedia Corp

Where: Laura Parsons Pratt Conference Center, 281 Park Ave South (steps from the 23rd Street East Side subway station)

Networking 6:00-7:00, Panel Discussion and Q&A 7:00-8:30 (we actually ran until 9:15pm!)

PhotoShelter kindly volunteered to record the proceedings. The first hour is speaker presentations; the second hour is the panel's thoughts on the PLUS Coalition, microstock, citizen-J, 'is it video yet?' and other topics.





Thanks again Randy, Paul, Brad, Evan, Allen (and Mike!), the Federation, and all the chapter members who helped out.
