Welcome to everybody on Team 9 -- the Red Team, and historically the Sports Team -- and again: congratulations on your acceptance into the world's greatest tuition-free workshop for photojournalists.
The theme for this year's sports team is "The Big Adventure". Think Outside Magazine: sports in nature, human striving. Action and adventure, but also scenics and stories. Camping out, getting soaked, hesitating before taking the big dive. Fingernails digging in. Early-morning steam rising off the pond.
Etc.
If you're not a sports shooter, fear not: sports is so much more than peak action. We have looked at the portfolios to try to see what kind of assignment will be a good fit for you, and I'll try to communicate with you before the assignments are passed out.
Our team editor, from The New York Times sports section, is Brad Smith, and our leader is Getty Images' Al Bello, and between them they will make all this fun and hard work pay off in an experience you won't forget.
I'll be posting here a few times a week to get you prepared for the trip to Jeffersonville, New York, USA, and I hope you'll all feel free to post, too. I'd love it if we could have some introductions from you guys, as well as links to any work you'd like to shar
I've been involved with the workshop for a few years now -- first as a student, and then as a faculty member -- and from those experiences, I have a few tips for you on how to make the most of your time at the barn. That, and practical information (equipment to bring, what to wear, etc.) will be the bulk of this blog.
I'd love it if you guys could post a comment here to introduce yourself, link to your work or blog or video, and tell something about the kind of photography you do.
So excited about October!
Your producer,
Suzy Allman
Hi Everyone! I'm really excited to head out to NY and meet you all in person. My name is Alexis and I'm a photographer in Fremont (the San Francisco, Bay Area). I do wedding and sports photography and absolutely love portraiture. Even when I cover a sport or wedding event, I also try to create a well thought out portrait if possible. You can see my work on my website here:

Hello Team 9. It is so great to be accepted to the 2011 EAW and I'm really excited for October. My name is Ehrin Macksey and I work as a photographer and film maker based out of Hanoi, Vietnam.

As for an update on my current work, I recently won a HM from NPPA BOP for a feature audio slideshow which is very exciting for me: http://bop.nppa.org/2011/web_sites/winners/index.php?cat=FAS&place=HM1
I'm also currently involved in a large scale multimedia project and also some editorial, wedding and corporate commissions until the end of the year.
