It has been pretty quiet here lately.
I have been transitioning between my old job, as photo editor for The Washington Post Magazine and my new job, as Picture Editor for The Washington Post newspaper. My staff has exploded from 1 to over 40 (including 5 Pulitzer prize winners) and my mandate includes trying to stop the slide of readers away from newspapers by re-introducing them to consistently great daily photography.
Yesterday was my first full day in the new gig; it was a slow day, thankfully, but I know that won't last. I am looking forward to the challenge - and after helping the news move to the web (as Photography Director of washingtonpost.com and AOL back in the mid-ninties), I get to return the favor and help keep the news interesting and relevant in print.
