by sdulai on Feb 19, 2007 • No Comments

A few weeks ago I was afforded the opportunity to travel up the coast and do a story on elephant seals. I finally got around to working with Ryan and creating some more multimedia content for the web. Just like old times.

After winning a Pulitzer prize in 2006 for Final Salute, a brilliant piece that chronicles the travels of Maj. Steve Beck as he travels from family to family informing them that their loved one isn’t coming home from the battle on the other side of the world, the Colorado paper looks poised to do it...

Moving pictures and I don’t mean flip-books

by sdulai on Sep 4, 2006 • No Comments

For months I’ve been looking for the perfect means for uploading my video work onto the blog. I’d been putting it off, constantly moving the task to the back burner whenever other things came along. But now the time has come. Last Friday I helped a friend edit together a teaser trailer for his band....

Some cold hard RAW

by sdulai on Aug 20, 2006 • No Comments

Adobe has been rumbling about RAW again. As I pointed out… way back when… Adobe looked to be answering Apple’s challenge of Aperture with LightRoom. (Oh no, I see a soapbox! Why didn’t Adobe call it LightTable? Doesn’t that make more sense? It’s an editing program and where did we edit our takes in the...

Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks?

by sdulai on Jul 25, 2006 • No Comments

It looks like newspapers have embraced ‘new journalism’ so strongly that they’re beating TV at its’ own game. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences created a new Emmy award this year for news and documentary programs produced for websites, mobile phones, iPods and other such ‘new media.’ Surprisingly the most visual medium, the...

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
