Hot Skies Over Melbourne (C) Alison Stieven-Taylor 2014
This year Friday Round Up will continue to bring readers articles and commentary on the ever-evolving world of photojournalism. The content on Photojournalism Now aims to canvass the breadth of the genre where news, documentary and social commentary come together. This blog allows me to share my experiences, and my knowledge, of the fields of journalism and photography by presenting content that is founded on a deep understanding of photojournalism’s place in the contemporary world.
On Photojournalism Now you will find profiles on established, new and emerging photographers, discover work that few have seen, fall in love with books you'll have to add to your shelves, and have the opportunity to enter the debate on the future of photojournalism.
Again, welcome to Friday Round Up and thanks for reading. Here's to a harmonious 2014.
Cheers
Alison Stieven-Taylor
Book:
James Whitlow Delano – Black Tsunami
American photographer James Whitlow Delano was in Rome, Italy the day the tsunami devastated his adopted homeland of Japan on 11 March, 2011. Oblivious to what had transpired, he called his wife to say he was excited about coming home. “Haven’t you heard what’s happened?” she replied. With disbelief he sat in front of a computer screen in an Internet café at Rome’s Termini station and watched as the horror unfolded...CLICK HERE or on the tab above "Book Reviews" to read full story and see more photographs.

Exhibition:
Black Eye - Summer Show
Sandy Edwards, who is a respected photographic art curator and founder of Arthere in Sydney, is behind the Summer Show currently at Black Eye Gallery in Sydney's Darlinghurst. Edwards has brought together an impressive, and expansive, collection of works from an equally diverse group of 24 photographic artists. Edwards says in her curator’s statement, “The theme for this exhibition evolved naturally into ‘Summer’ itself. I took a very broad view of interpretation on that theme. Summer is not all sweetness and light”.
