By Jim McNay, Brooks Institute of Photography

To all: Here are the speakers scheduled to make presentations for the Visual Journalism program this term at Brooks Institute.

These sessions are free (unless otherwise noted) and are open to all interested parties. Please feel free to drop in and visit if you are anywhere near the California central coast. The Ventura campus is only 60-minutes north of Los Angeles.

For the January-February, 2004 term, presentations will be off campus in the greater Ventura area. Please read carefully. (See directions below.)

Visual Journalism Speakers Program – January-February, 2004

Speaker #1 – Wednesday, January 21, 2004 – Buena High School Little Theater, Ventura

(Not) Lost in Translation: Young Tiger in the Journalism Jungle

Immediately after graduation Dai Sugano won his way onto the photography staff of a major newspaper, the San Jose Mercury News.

He recently spent several weeks on a special project covering the California governor’s re-call election.

Speaker #2 – Wednesday, February 4, 2004 – Holy Cross School (at the Ventura Mission on Main Street, Ventura).

Life is Fired at Us Point-Blank

Annie Wells, a Los Angeles Times staff photographer, recently faced the most challenging “assignment” of her life—surviving a bout with cancer. She gave herself as assignment to cover her treatment and recovery in photographs. She will talk about her most recent life journey.

She will also talk about winning the Pulitzer Prize for pictures from a river rescue in greater Santa Rosa, Ca.

Speaker #3 – Wednesday, February 18, 2004 – Holy Cross School (at the Ventura Mission on Main Street, Ventura).

Ten careers in 20 years
