Multimedia Photojournalism
I’ve been nominated for a News Photographers Association of Canada Picture of the Year Award for my Sitting Volleyball Video! The winners will be announced on April 25th in Toronto. Wooooo!
102 people played musical chairs on Saturday March 21, 2009 for a chance to win a one-year lease on a 2010 Kia Soul at Kia West Edmonton. Sonic 102.9 radio station drew names for 102 contestants to play and Mark Laing, 38, was the “Soul survivor” that took home the prize. Photo by Ryan Jackson/Edmonton Journal

Angela Grant at Newsvideographer.com was very nice to give a critique of my latest video on Ice Racing. Thanks!
I’m teaching part of a documentary class at MacEwan College with Greg Southam. He’s teaching the still portion and I’m teaching the multimedia portion. Here is my two-hour talk on video, basic and advanced technique and examples from shooting regular video at a major daily newspaper.
You can also download the two-hour video in iPod video format.
Also check out my “Multimedia: Know it all… or at least enough to get a job!” Talk and
my class I taught on Audio Slideshows (Soundslides) and Audio Editing.
Enjoy!

I spoke about Multimedia and the importance of web skills at The 71st Annual Canadian University Press Conference in Saskatoon. Here is my Presentation. Note that everything that is underlined in the presentation is a clickable link.
Instead of taking still pictures of all my friends this Christmas I decided to take several video portraits or “vortraits” using my modified video camera and 35mm lenses.
I used a Canon HV20 video camera, a DIY 35mm DOF adapter made from a macro lens and a focusing screen and Canon 24mm f1.4, 50mm f1.8 and 85mm f1.8 lenses.
You can also watch it in full screen HD. (Click on “Watch in High Quality”)
Enjoy!

Horse trainer Travis Umphrey, who owns many horses and employs several people has decided to move his operation to Ontario which he says is much more friendly to harness racing than Alberta right now.

Darryl Cutting and his partner Melinda Smith (not shown) run a mid-sized stable at Northlands. Their operation is too small to afford to pack up and move to Ontario. If Harness racing in Alberta dies, so will their livelihood. Here Cutting is pictured in his stable at Northlands on November 14, 2008. Photo by Ryan Jackson/Edmonton Journal
