| For more than 25 years Bob Sacha was a prize winning photojournalist constantly traveling the world on assignment for National Geographic, Life and other magazines. Then in January 2008, he joined the award winning multimedia production studio MediaStorm. His first assignment started with an email from Brian Storm: " I have a big project for you to start with working with Reuters to create a five year anniversary project on Iraq. I think it's going to be a really important project that will get quite a bit of attention when it comes out....." A little more than 2 months later, Reuters: Bearing Witness: 5 years of the Iraq War seen through the eyes of Reuters was launched. Hear the story of how that email started the journey that ended in the multiple award winning website - http://iraq.reuters.com/

Since photography was invented almost 200 years ago, fine art photography and commercial photography have followed intertwining paths. The relationship has always been complex, at times symbiotic and nurturing, at times divisive and rivalrous. Our panel talked about where we are and how we got here: Agents and galleries are entering each other's markets and creating new ones - our panelists discussed what pitfalls are best avoided, whether commercial sales are good or bad for galleries and fine art photographers, and whether licensing changes how galleries organize shows and pick images for the walls--or the catalog... and if art collectors care.

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.
