Post Graduate Studies at LCC
I've been looking around for venues for our collective work in the borders project. Some places I was thinking that could work well as vehicles to show work or to divert back to our portal are the obvious: Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, Twitter, Flickr. It would be nice to create podcasts of multimedia projects as some universities have done (see iTunes University). Once we get a name settled, I would like to set up some pages or accounts in these places. Anyhow, I ran into this video and do believe that is our very own Paul Lowe making a cameo in this promo for post-graduate studies at LCC.

My Photo Manifesto
Beginning in 1993, I began working in newspapers - first as a writer at a small daily in Central California. There I switched to photography and moved to the United States/Mexico border in McAllen, Texas, to San Antonio, then Florida where I worked as a photographer and editor for the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group, and ultimately The New York Times itself as a news picture editor. My work history is diverse: jobs that I held during college include a telephone operator and an attractions host at Disneyland. I also played guitar in several punk bands in the late 80's in Los Angeles. After leaving the Times in 2005 to raise my two children (Thomas born in 2005 and Charles born in 2007) and follow my wife with her career overseas, I began work as a freelance photojournalist.
Throughout my career, I have worked on staffs and am much more of a newspaper man than an entrepreneurial, enterprising photographer. I have always known the institutions that I've worked for, the audiences we served, and was well skilled at maneuvering the political and bureaucratic red tape of a newsroom to get the most out of myself and the photographers that I managed and produce great journalism.
Although as an editor I have worked with top photographers around the world, I am somewhat of a fish out of water being on the other side of the fence as an independent photojournalist. I am not the best at editing and managing myself. I am still trying to find the best way to make the most out of my skills and use them to affect some kind of change as a journalist and international citizen. In this pursuit, I am looking to you, my classmates and faculty for guidance and honesty that I will reciprocate in this journal and course.
