A Photographer’s Challenge to See Beyond the Still
The Story Beyond the Still "The Cabbie" - Behind The Scenes from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.
Photographer Vincent Laforet has in interesting concept here. Teaming up with Canon, he is introducing the first user-generated HD video contest and is challenging photographers to become filmmakers and "see beyond the still." Laforet was given a still image, which he interpreted into a short movie, the first chapter of seven shot on his Canon EOS 7D of course. Each chapter will end with a still photograph that will be the inspiration for the next chapter. The contest will begin Jan. 15, 2010.
Watch the video above for more details.

Former Montana Photographer
Robin Loznak Featured on NPPA Visual Student
From The Visual Student blog:
The relentless hunt for good stand-alone feature photos would often drive me to look for wildlife. Because it was Montana, we always seemed to have animals around. Something I really enjoyed photographing in Kalispell was the interaction between people and wildlife....
I don’t really think of myself as a nature photographer. I think of myself as a photojournalist who takes nature pictures. I guess the difference is that I try to tell stories and capture moments in my nature photos.

Photographing to Celebrate and Commemorate
Chris Peterson: 100 days in Glacier National Park
Day 76, panorama: July 17, 2009 – Bighorn sheep, Haystack Butte. What can you say? I think I got everything I could have asked for in this picture. Rams herd up into bachelor groups in the summertime. While they're famous for knocking heads in the fall during the rut, they knock heads frequently in the summer as well. They're always jockeying for rank. - Photo by Chris Peterson from his 100 days in Glacier National Park project.
