->> Corey,
I remember looking at some of those photographs at the last NSC; I was really impressed by the compositions, use of color, and moments. Overall, I remember some really outstanding pictures, and once again feel similarly about the body of work you have presented for EAW.
If viewed in order, there's two that just don't work for me: Numbers 3 & 10 — the graphic shot of Tamara, and Friday Night Lights. It's eye candy, which in and of itself is not a bad thing. But, in terms of the portfolio as a whole, detract from the overall strength because of the quality of the moments you've captured with the rest of the photographs.
Hope that makes sense.
One question about captioning: Did you submit the captions that I'm reading in your SS gallery?
Best,
— Andrew
ps: I'm gonna give it another look tomorrow with some fresh eyes, and I'll get back to you. |

->> My friend Evan is spot on. It is an experience you will never forget. It is the only place where that many of the best, brightest and most notable in the business will all be in one place willing to help you learn and grow as a photographer.
For those that do get accepted, take the time to look at the portfolios of all the others who will be in attendance as well. If they do it like last year, the portfolios will all be posted on the EAW website. Sure, there will be a lot to look through, but you get a chance to take a look at all the amazing work being done by others that will be sharing in the experience with you.
For those who do not get in, I also suggest looking through all of the portfolios of those who were accepted and use that as a learning tool and motivation to continue in building your portfolio for next year.
Good luck to those who applied.

One question about captioning: Did you submit the captions that I'm reading in your SS gallery?"
Andrew,
Thanks for your compliments and constructive criticism. Truly a breath of fresh air to get feedback. I wish my days weren't so packed last week so I could have shown my work to other people. It's funny though, I hear different favorites from different people so I suppose that's good? Yes, I did use the captions. Why do you ask? Anyhow on to your portfolio...
01.) CHEERLEADERS - I like this nice moment you have here. Looking at your body of work, it works for now in your portfolio. The high ISO is killing me. I wish you were a few steps to the right to open up your angle of view on the other two girls. But it works.
02.) FIRE CHIEF - I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I'm kinda on the fence. The fact that it is a controlled burn is not very unique. However, I do enjoy the composition and I am genuinely curious of what is going on so, it's a 50/50 on this on for me. Wish there was some better juxtuposition or a better moment.
03.) AFTERNOON WALK - No. Kick this one out. No real moment. Nothing interesting about the dog or the owner. My dad walked our dog everyday at the same place. 'So what' is all I keep coming back to. Sorry.
04.) FOALS - What are you trying to communicate here? Why am I suppose to care about these foals in the early morning fog, no less? It's almost a sihouette but not quite. I don't like the way they are composed. The head is growing out of the others rear end. I think the real story here is the farmer who owns these horses. What is he like? They live near a major road, have any ever been hit? Is there a problem with them bring hit? What are the horses used for? Etc.etc. Your story lies elsewhere not here. Keep pushing and digging for deeper content.
05.) BRENDA - Ahh, getting to some deeper stuff here. I FEEL the pain here. I see the concern in the mother's eyes. It's a portrait but one with emotion. I'd like to see the toning open up on the mom a little to accent this situation. I think this would have been a nice essay in the folio.
06.) HINCKLEY CRASH - I'm not feeling a huge sense of CRASH here. I can see she slipped off the side but would have tried possibly for a reverse angle. You can't see her face and the cop is profile so the other side would have worked. Granted, I don't know your situation here but would have tried to incorporate tracks or a tow truck or something a little more with a moment.
07.) ABBEYVILLE FIRE - Nice moment. My second favorite in your portfolio. Arms stretched for good body language. Nice tall flames. Just need someone running out of the house on fire or something for a Pulitzer. Good work.
08.) SLEDDING - Ahh the sledding photo. I think it's easily said the best sledding photos are the wipe outs and some unique feature like a dog running along side. Here you have a nice moment but I'd like to see something beyond the norm from the straight on yelling shot. It's good daily work but one I'd keep out for other stronger work. Keep looking, waiting and anticipating.
09.) FOOTPRINTS - I like this. It show you pay attention to detail. However, one must ask how can this be made stronger? I think the feel leaving the ground with chalk trailing off could have been promising. Somehow I want to see some human element involved. Maybe a shallow DOF on a gymnast in the background?
10.) JUGGLER - I feel a little torn on the crop here. A touch gimmicky? I want to see a hand in the frame but it dunno how that would look. It's not bad, graphical. A different view definitely.
11.) ARREST - By far the strongest image in the portfolio. So much to tell here. You make the viewer curious why he's being carried off. Despite being carried off he still finds time to eat snowflakes. Very impactful image. Good job on the moment.
12.) ICE RINK - Good overall. Could go well in a story. The toning seems a bit muddy on the landscape. Could be cleaned up easily. I'd try and wait for a moment. Even on wide angle shots you should have a moment like wait for the slap shot. Wait for the guy with the stick to get higher in the frame in-between the two fences.
13.) PUTTER - Good sports moment. Self-explanatory. Good job. I like the feeling here.
14.) FOUL CALL - My eye is confused to go. It's too ambiguous. An awkward composition. I don't know what I'm trying to look for. It's not blatant of who is doing what and who of the four expressions I'm to focus on. I'd keep this one out in the future.
15.) WRESTLERS - Almost. Why did you choose the one with his eyes closed? Was a better moment here? I like the body language but wrestling is huge on facial expression. I'd look and wait for a better moment in the future.
16.) BOXING - Timing. I want to see beautiful sweat being knocked off the other guy. You have a wonderful black backdrop to play with, use it. The light yields a nice etching of such sweat, use it.
17.) IGLOO - Why switching gears on the sports to go to this feature? It's a cute moment but I'm noticing four eyes looking at me on the right. Watch out for this. Wait for a moment. They are there especially in these situations.
18.) BARS - Nice detail. I'd choose this one over the footprints since you already have a chalk gymnastics detail shot. Good clean backdrop. Way to see.
Overall, I think some tighter editing could have been pulled out. A few toning issues but overall you are on your way in the vision you are trying to pursue. If there is one thing I'd say to take away from this is WAIT FOR YOUR MOMENTS. Your composition is carrying a lot of the visual weight. Once you have mastered moment look for better light. It's there just look, search and feel. Thanks for sharing with me and giving me an opportunity to help out. Drop me a line if you have questions or want to discuss anything further.
Smile, the tough part is over. |

->> Corey,
Here's what I'm feeling about my work as it relates to good storytelling, and good journalism:
1) I'm not getting close enough, both physically and emotionally. It's something I've struggled with for a long time in my work — mind you, I don't think it's a personal problem outside of photography. It's just that when I pick up the camera ... well, something isn't happening.
2) Moments. The two are of course intrinsically linked. But you're spot on with waiting, and it's something I do every day. We all do it — hurry up and wait. So, yeah, it's definitely something to keep working on. "I've been waiting for this moment."
3) I refuse to force light into moments that didn't already exist when it comes to journalism. There's a time and a place for strobes, flashes, etc ... Looking for good light is at the top of my list. Noise Ninja is a great program, but when it becomes a normal part of a workflow, well ... that's a problem.
Hopefully the powers that be recognize my strengths and weaknesses and feel that perhaps now is the right time for me to go to EAW! I was turned down last year, and know deep down that I wasn't even close to being ready.
Now ... to answer a few lingering questions, and to address a few comment you've made:
I mentioned captions because I myself have been forced to scrutinize my own captioning quite frequently. I noticed one typo, and some grammatical issues with your cutlines. The latter of the two I don't think is all that serious but should still be addressed, especially knowing that styles do differ from paper to paper, and different editor look for different things. I address a few of the issues in my comments about your pictures — they are quite minor. Who knows exactly what the judges are looking for when examining an applicant. So why not clean up the minor details?
On to your pictures ...
1) Jaws - I'm on the fence. It's nice that you chose to make the frame split above water and below. I really like the intensity of the the dog's eye, coupled with that of the chomp down on the tennis ball. The picture alone will bring a smile to most reader's faces, and if you can do that with every picture you make, you're doin' real well. Certainly, I don't mean we need to make someone smile with EVERY picture, but moving someone emotionally is the key, but you already know that. For a portfolio shot however, this is one I'd reserve and look at again when you feel comfortable with the body of work. So ... out for now.
2) Duty - This is a clean, simple, and evocative moment. There's a disconnect for me; however, I'm not exactly sure how to solve it. He's gettin' his head shaved, and at the same time there's this look ... I can't decide whether or not he's a little afraid of where the clippers are going, or he's staring off at something else, or what. The disconnect comes when I read the cutline. "Fowler says he looks forward to the cause" doesn't exemplify the look on his face and vice-versa. Framing is great, shallow dof is what's called for in this situation. Don't need to see the barber. So, it stays, but solve the problem. Either eliminate the quote, or check your edit for a different glance of the eyes.
3) Tamara - Not much to say here. Not workin' for me. Out.
4) Flood - Graphically very strong. Emotionally simple and effective. I'm so glad you got up there with him, instead of standing in the flood waters and shooting long! Way to move the feet!
5) Chomp — (Here's one of the spelling mistakes. Anticipate should have an "s" on the end. Moreover, I'm really gonna nit pick here, and it's a style thing. You're reiterating what's already in the frame with the first sentence. Eliminate what I already visually know, and tell me more about the allergy!) As far as the picture, its clean, and simple, but I'm not so hot for it as a portfolio moment. The picture works, don't get me wrong, but only for the daily report.
6) Holy Nap - As a feature picture I think you could have either worked this moment more, or chosen a different picture from your edit. I remember a few class from RIT, where one particular photographer was putting up images for critique that were real clunkers. Everything was missing. It was consistent. Then, I had to stop critique, and ask him to show his take. So, he fired up Photo Mechanic, and we soon discovered that he had AMAZING pictures but was choosing the wrong one's because he had not learned how to evaluate his own pictures. Not that you're doing this, but the cliché is applicable: We're all our own worst editors. I wonder if there's a frame that you made from down on the floor? I'm bothered that the woman's head is just slightly cut off, and that it's shot from an average distance to height reation. Just a thought. It's still a keeper.
7) Alderman - I LOVE THIS FRAME! I live for these kinds of meetings. Granted, I'll take any assignment, but the most seemingly mundane often provide some classic photographs. (This gets me thinking about outsourcing journalism to India. Ya know??? How could any outsourced "journalist" get this moment, or convey what happened there??? What can someone in India ever tell the people of Nashua about budget meetings, or library levies?) Anyway ... The expressions, the colours, the pictures on the wall. Dude, I would hang this picture on MY wall. Keeper.
8) Birth Cottage - No. Now, what can you tell me about the miracle of birth that I don't already know — that the judges don't already know, even if we've never experienced a live birth before? Television successfully desensitized that one. So, you're picture better be darn-good. I was born at home. So what? My parents were hippies. Change the setting to the hospital and you've got a non-picture. Same argument goes for a lot of protest pictures. Remove the sign that the kid, or elderly person is holding from the frame, and is it still a picture? Out for the portfolio. If this is part of a story, I'd say sure, but the rest of the story needs to be awfully compelling.
9) Displaced - Nice documentary moment here. Good journalism. I'm connecting with the child, and therefore connect with the mother because of her embrace. Layering works. Not a hard picture to make, and that's fine. This doesn't have to be difficult. : ) (Here's another comment about grammar. Your second sentence would be cleaner if it read as follows: "The family was displaced by rising flood waters from the Merrimack River which their sump pump failed to control." Keeper.
10) Friday Night Lights - No. I've seen this shot too often. Gimme' something fresh. Enough said.
11) Soaked - Naaaa. I feel similarly about this picture as I do about FNL. Haven't made the picture myself, and just because we see it so often doesn't mean it should dissuade us from doing so. Is it portfolio worthy? Probably not.
12) United - Again, the same argument can apply here, as with 10/11. Works for a sports feature if you really need the extra art. Works for APAD. Doesn't work for the portfolio. I wish all high school gym floors were that clean, well waxed, and bright. Out.
13) Scolded - YES! I'm so glad you didn't crop tight. The crowd makes the moment even more dynamic. Way to stay with the moment all the way through to the next play! Enough said. Keeper!
14) All Wrapped Up - WTF???!!! I remember seeing this frame at NSC, and every time I look at it, I wonder how, and why they ended up in that position. What's more, what happened next? Anyway ... I think I understand why you've put this picture into the mix, and it has to do with showing that you can shoot wrestling. Okay, that's great. You are also capable of capturing a unique wrestling move. Had it been ANY other moment, I'd say pass. But because of the uniqueness, it stays.
15) Homeless (all) - Okay ... Forgive me for being so frank, but I don't see a story in the images you've shown. It looks like you walked into their lives, but never properly exited. You haven't provided me with a proper and necessary visual ending to the narrative. Therefore, it becomes a somewhat insensitive glimpse into two people's very difficult existence. I know that you didn't purposefully do this, but I again wonder if it's an issue of editing. Or, perhaps you felt like you needed five frames to round out the body of work, and cut down a story that was already singing with 15-20 pictures? Not sure what happened there, but I'm left feeling rather flat. Am I missing something? I read through all the captions again, and see the potential for a decent homeless story.
Alas, the hour is getting late, and I've got a huge day tomorrow. Hate to cut this short, but further commentary should probably be handed over to someone with greater insight into storytelling — someone at EAW, for instance! Which, I hope is exactly what the workshop will do for a lot of people - you and I included! ;-)
In closing, thanks for putting your work out there, and I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and thinking about fresh work. The process is valuable to all parties involved.
Best,
— Andrew |

YES- I am old.
Luckily I was able to get in for year two where I had the good fortune of NOT meeting Grover who was also at the Farm that September.
Eddie told us that his workshop would speed up our careers by five years. He was right. This is a fantastic opportunity and a week I will never forget- 18 years later. |

->> I wrote this a year ago in a similar thread and since then that friend I spoke of below is now at the Rocky Mountain News, so is there a point, well EAW is lens foggingly wonderful and worth more than the price of admission but truthfully most shooters won't get-in yet many continue to produce awesome work....
How do they choose the students? I'm guessing the portfolio has something to do with it...? but I don't know. I was happy and elated to attend Barnstorm 16 in '03 as part of the purple team under Joe Elbert. It was my first year at Brooks and I was shocked when I received my acceptance letter signed by Eddie himself..., I truly cherish this and feel that attending the workshop has directed my career in the best way, but there are so many good photographers that apply that don't get in. A friend of mine who has won awards and earned recognition for his work has yet to make it and I almost feel guilty for getting-in with what I submitted. I would have gladly given him my spot. He has a few years yet of eligibility so there's still hope. At the workshop in '03, one speaker during her talk mentioned the fact that she was denied acceptance into the workshop every year she applied, 'but now I have a Pulitzer, so who needs the workshop?" she said, as the barn erupted in laughter and applause. |

| ->> I'll put my two sense into your question Mr. Brooks. I have never applied to EAW before until now. I don't know what would make a judge choose great work from another great piece of work. There both great, why not accept them both? Well, after watching America's next top model tonight while working out ;) Tyra Banks did say something that opened my eyes a little more to how judges think. She said to the girl that won, you started out bad, but got better and better. And you will continue to get better in the future." The other girls had it, the look, the walk, but were not showing growth. It's some sort of *Ooomph* that they look for, some sort of spiritual connection with the photographs that show the photographer is good, and has a desire to get better. I hope I am making my point seem understandable! :) I have seen others work in my school. For instance, first year students. Even though there work is not AS fantastic as some in second, or even third year, that first year students work shows to me that they will succeed much further then the already awesome 3rd year photo takers work who will no longer excel. I hope I made sense! Hmmm :I |

->> Andrew,
I agree with almost everything that Corey said about your portfolio, the only thing that I disagree with is that the first image works. I agree that it is a cute moment, however, the noise really is a bit much. My favorite images are:
New Chief- I dig this one, it is such a strange moment. I like looking at an image and wondering what the heck is going on.
Kevin Bylund- This image is so graphic; I love the bolts in the wood, and the face on the juggler. Nice job making an image that is not the norm.
Bout- There is something about this image that really does something for me. Nice job framing them so well and capturing a great moment. Also, I like the image of the gymnasts hands on the bar. I have never seen this before, great job!
Thanks for letting me view your images.
Corey,
I really don’t have a whole lot to say about your portfolio because I loved the whole thing. You have a wonderful perspective. Your images graphically document life, humanity, spirit, and personality. Thanks for sharing them with us and I learned a lot from looking at them.
The only criticism that I have for you is that I think the football sunset, volleyball reflection, and wrestling shot don’t fit in that well. I know that they show your well roundedness, however, I don’t think that those images compliment your photography or portray your style.
Again, thanks for sharing.
Brent,
Please do not open your portfolio with a silhouette, especially one that isn’t all that spectacular. You have numerous other pictures that are just as visually appealing as the silhouette, however are not as cliché.
I think that your edit could also be a little tighter; I would get rid of:
Fair Jump—Very Cliché, Fish Bowl—This image just isn’t quite there in my opinion, 38 wreck—This image sends mixed emotions, I see the wrecked vehicle but when I look at her face it doesn’t tell me she was in the car. Before I read the caption I thought that maybe she was an EMT, or an EMT student doing a ride along.
My favorite images are:
Chiari Yawn—This image has a great feel to it. The emotion is there, along with a quiet moment. Have you done a story on this family, and if so then where is it?
Band Flags—I love the light in this image.
Thanks for sharing your portfolio with me. The only other advice I can offer is to continue to play with light, and try to add layers to your images. Thanks.
Jon,
I think that you shouldn’t open your portfolio with a silhouette, it isn’t your best image or even your second best. If you want to leave it in, then put it more towards the middle of the portfolio. You made a very tight edit and I think that was a great decision.
My favorite image is—Fingers to the sky
Thanks everyone for sharing your work, I really enjoyed looking at your images. Good luck, and I hope to meet you all at this year’s workshop. |

->> I threw my stuff in for this year too. I've had a lot of Missouri buddies that have done the workshop before and loved it. The stuff I sent in is basically what I have in my website portfolio (singles plus story). Let me know what you think, I'm starting to think I should have done a tighter edit on my work before sending it in. Anyways, I'd love some opinions.

Be Well,

->> I did submit, but I do not have someone to sponsor me (as usual), so I did not fill up that part of the Application and I really doubt I will be accepted.
But anyway here are my entries, http://www.pbase.com/ronnik_d70/eddie_adams |

I've seen some great portfolios in this thread. If there really were close to 1,000 applicants this year, the workshop will be a wonderful experience for those that are selected. |
