Event Details

Media of all kinds – editorial, advertising, and corporate – is rapidly migrating to the Internet, and the Internet itself is turning into... Nobody is really all that sure, just yet.

One thing that is sure, however, is that multimedia – and video – presentations are expanding at the speed of moving electrons.

Dirck Halstead will spend the evening describing how these changes can be embraced by photographers, writers, and radio producers. In 1992, he helped form what has become the Platypus Movement and Workshops, teaching still photographers how to cross over from print to video, and he hasn’t stopped since.

For instance, with Platypus tutoring, the still photography staff at the Dallas Morning News heads out with video cameras, from which they pull stills, and then produce videos shown on the web.

Newspapers, magazines, advertisers, television and radio networks, and corporate communications divisions are increasing their presence on the Web, requiring us all to learn new skills and technologies.

Dirck Halstead has thrived by staying ahead of the curve. His resume includes being an award-winning 29-year contract photographer for Time Magazine, a “special” photographer in the movie industry, and a senior fellow in photojournalism at the University of Texas in Austin.

He is the Editor and Publisher of The Digital Journalist, http://digitaljournalist.org. His portfolio can be seen at http://www.americanphotojournalist.org. Learn more about the Platypus Workshops at http://workshopsinternational.com/DV_Platypus.html.

Come hear Dirck, meet colleagues you never knew you had (and some you did), and have a bite to eat. Doors open at 6:30, program starts at 7:00.

We gratefully acknowledge the sponsorship of Canon Explorers of Light and Samy's Camera, which is donating six Samy's gift certificates to be awarded by drawing.
