What is it?

The Internet is not a dumping ground

for media created for other platforms

web = creative platform

It’s not a single canvas.

"We've now entered a phase in which visual communication is supplanting the written word – what some are calling the dawn of the ‘imagesphere.’ " ~Bob Lisbonne

In just one minute…

208,300 photos are posted to Facebook

510,000 photos are liked on Instagram

Posts with images drive up to 180% more engagement than those without.

Visual Journalism isn’t new

We have no idea what new piece of technology might launch that could change everything.

It’s better to have a bigger purpose and some firm beliefs to guide you, than it is to have a plan.

I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop. - Ansel Adams 1983

Forget the platform: The "elements of good

storytelling are eternal"

“Inside all of us is a visual storyteller waiting to emerge..”

DO NOT!LEAVE YOUR! LONGINGS!UNATTENDEDBE

“Make stories that wont go away. Make

your mark as only YOU can”

Every masterpiece starts with a single

brush stroke.

The edge, the secret sauce to mastery, is

not waiting for perfection, instead, start

where you are with reckless abandon.

Are you in or out?

What can story be?

The ancient art of storytelling is in need of some

modern clothing.
