Everyone,

Here's a web site someone asked about last week. It's Pictures of the Year.
Biggest photojournalism contest in the world, and the most prestigious for
newspaper photographers. Bigger than the Pulitzer if you win the
Photographer of the Year portfolio category. (Guaranteed fast lane to the
top). 

Anyway, As it says below, Eugene Richards is a big winner, and he is a
great photographer. Life Magazine got too depressed using his photos, so
I'm told. Guess they are losing it.

This week, the POY website has released the work of the Canon Photo
Essay winners,  Eugene Richards and Gideon Mendel.

Their work can be found in the site at http://www.poy.org/55

Next week - stories from the magazine division, more audio.
