I doubt that it presages a return to the 'glory days' of traditional PJ, but it's terrific none the less. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Gwpics@aol.com Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 12:55 PM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] Peter Turnley I wanted to share the following email from Leica user Peter Turnley: Dear friends- I would like to share with you some very exciting news. I've been offered a one year, renewable agreement with Harpers Magazine, to create 4 major 8 page photo-essays for the magazine during the next year. I will be listed on the masthead as a contributing editor and most importantly the philosophy behind this new agreement is that I will author my own visual stories that will be given very prominent display quarterly in a magazine with a long and rich tradition of publishing excellent writing and journalism. I think this marks not only a very exciting opportunity for me, but also a wonderful development for photojournalism and for the use of visual storytelling in magazine journalism. Please read more about this news in an article that has just been published today on the NPPA.org site: http://www.nppa.org/news_and_events/news/2004/07/turnley_photo_essays_in _har pers.html I look forward to your seeing the first photo-essay that will appear in the August issue of Harpers Magazine which will speak visually to a very important theme in world affairs today, in a way that I think has not been seen or treated prominently before. My best. Peter Turnley peterturnley.com Gerry Walden LRPS _www.gwpics.com_ (http://www.gwpics.com/) +44 (0)23 8046 3076 _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
