National Geographic editor: photography communicates better than any other medium
In this 15-minute video just released by the TED Conferences in Monterey, California, the photo director for National Geographic, David Griffin, talks about the power of photography to go beyond the usual, to connect us to scattered parts of our world. In a talk filled with spectacular images of nature, he demonstrates how using photos helps to tell stories that would never have the same impact with words alone.
Thanks to Filippo Dellosso for this link.
Jim - Thought you might be interested to know Jehad Nga will be discussing his work in Somalia tomorrow night. You might want to watch the live interview with him at the Frontline Club in London this Friday 5th September, 7.30pm UK time. The Club has a live video channel on ustream.tv and will broadcast the talk live,

Jehad will present his Somalia pictures and talk about them with Rob Walker, BBC Africa Correspondent. Then there will be a Q&A with questions from the floor and the Internet.
Hope this is of interest.
Thanks, Graham. Appreciate the point.
