This camera was just ... awful. But it plays games! #photography #cameras #toycameras #fstoppers fstoppers.com/humor/it-looks…

I mean, if this isn't a great use of AI for filmmaking, I don't know what is.

I have said it for years and I’ll say it again: stop saying things are “sexually and racially charged.” The things Donald Trump says are sexist and racist, full stop. I’m aware that @nytimes doesn’t follow AP style, but AP has also come to the same conclusion about “charged.”

Management at Hearst have FIRED a union organizer in a clear case of retaliation. Tell Hearst to reinstate Adrian and recognize the @CTnewsguild! #UnionBustingIsDisgusting actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-h…

Been called a lot of things in teaching evaluations over 15 years. None hurt more than being called a #DEI hire by a student who didn't put in the time & was graded accordingly. That @RepTimBurchett employs the same attack against @VP @KamalaHarris shows him for the #racist he is

FSTOPPERS: Photojournalism Is Still (Mostly) for White Men, as Revealed by a Stunning Getty Images Photograph fstoppers.com/photojournalis… @fstoppers @picguide #photojournalism #journalism

As with any article that challenges how White a profession photojournalism or photography is - the comments are often equally revealing. "Photojournalism Is Still (Mostly) for White Men, as Revealed by a Stunning Getty Images Photograph" @PicGuide fstoppers.com/photojournalis…

@chiragwakaskar There was another moment where I thought to write this a third time but I’m sure the actual number of times I could reuse this article is considerably higher. Thanks for shining a light on the issue.

Resharing Prof Ahmad's article on the diversity problem in photojournalism. Personally, I believe diversity isn't merely about filling seats - it's about rigorously challenging both the gaze and the structures that enable privilege to occupy them. fstoppers.com/originals/phot…

For his first NYT byline @ShawnMcCreesh pens a lede for the ages.

@danpassapera @sacredheartuniv Congratulations!

I’m thrilled to announce that I have accepted a position at @sacredheartuniv as Photography Coordinator, starting next week. I haven’t quite found the right words to express my excitement. Proud to be a part of the Pioneer family!

As professors, one of the unwritten parts of the job is to protect our students in any way we can. It is shocking in this video how @CarolineFohlin was treated for doing just that in what appears to be the least threatening way possible.

Antisemitism is never acceptable. But protesting against the slaughter in Gaza is not inherently antisemitic. It is doing what should be done on a college campus – taking a stand against a perceived wrong, thereby provoking discussion and debate. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@morgantencza I am so sorry you had to experience that. I have heard from many colleagues in the industry that they have had these kinds of comments directed at them and it’s never OK.

Last week at a game, an older male security guard nodded at my lens and said “you like them big, eh?” and winked at me. I was so unbelievably uncomfortable but felt forced to laugh it off. No one should have to deal with this behavior while doing their job. It’s just gross.

@NicoleMcisaac @danpassapera My son wants to know if you got in trouble lol

If you’re not using Minecraft backgrounds on your Teams meetings, what are you doing?

Denied use of their professional cameras by @Gannett, this is the only image striking Austin American-@Statesman photojournalists were able to take of the 2024 total eclipse in Texas 😔

If you know a high school student that's into photography, consider sending them to my camp @QuinnipiacU this summer. It's a great way to get a taste of the college experience, make some life-long friends, and learn some cool stuff along the way: qu.edu/academics/abou…

@PicGuide @hearstcmg Did I do this right? Thank you, Wasim!

One of the finest #photojournalists I’ve ever had in the classroom, @hearstcmg got a good one. Congratulations, @danpassapera!
