The Eddie Adams Photojournalism Workshop is an annual four-day event that brings together seasoned professionals and 100 newcomers to photography. Professional staff includes photographers and photo editors from major agencies and publications including Getty Images, AP, National Geographic, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, among others. Alyssa Adams began the workshop in 1988 with her husband, Pulitzer-prize winning photographer, Eddie Adams. As Eddie Adams said, "I wish I were able to have attended something like this when I was coming up to meet some of my photography heroes. There are people assembled here this weekend that would have otherwise taken five years to meet." The Workshop, now in its 22nd year, is held every Columbus day weekend in Jeffersonville, New York and is sponsored by Nikon, Inc. The Workshop is tuition-free. Students are admitted based on the merit of their portfolio. Please join Alyssa Adams and Nikon representative, Mark Suban who will present work from Workshop 22 and answer any questions about applications for 2010.

Black Team Work Weekend #1

We're up at the farm, getting it ready for Barnstorm XXII. If you truly have nothing to do today, you can watch the live webcam that Brien set up and catch glimpses of exciting raking, mowing and weed-whacking. Only 62 days until EAWXXII!

EDIT: We broke the webcam down because we're leaving today, but stay tuned for some pictures from the farm, as well as some more updates on former students!

Congratulations are in order for Emily Schiffer, who was recently named the winner of the 2009 Inge Morath Award.

The prize of $5000, which is awarded by the Inge Morath Foundation and The Magnum Foundation, "is given annually to a female documentary photographer under the age of 30, in memory of the late Magnum photographer Inge Morath."

The other finalist for the award was Jenn Ackerman, who is also a Barnstorm XXI alumna.

Congrats to the students of Barnstorm XXII!




After a grueling final review, the list of applicants have been whittled down to 50 students and 50 professionals. See the list here!

Send me updates!

Are you a barnstormer who recently won an award? Do you know another EAW student who has been honored recently? Do you have a gallery opening coming up? A project being published? Send it to me! It's a little tough keeping track of all 2100 of you!

For instance, as the astute Calla Evans (Barnstorm XX) pointed out, Dominic Nahr (Barnstorm XVII) was also included in PDN's 30.
