I recently made the trek to Georgia for the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. It was great seeing friends again, but I couldn’t help but notice that most of the speakers and workshops were geared much less toward working for a publication and much more toward freelancing and making it on your own. I guess that says a lot about the current state of the industry…
Anyways, here are some photos from the trip!

Assorted gadgetry
It wasn’t the Nikon 600mm lens or the Canon 5D Mk II catching people’s eyes…it was Rob’s $40 plastic Fujifilm camera (that seems to have the monopoly on instant film since Polaroid stopped making theirs) that had everyone amazed. I swear, everyone who saw this camera had to play with it!
