More posting soon…

Sorry for the short break. Everyone reading this probably knows already, but I have moved to a new headquarters for Steven St. John Photography here in Albuquerque. I won’t have Internet service here for a few days, but I will try to put together an update soon. Thanks for your patience.

Nicole Frugé – Freelance conflict photographer

fruge

San Antonio Express-News staff photographer Nicole Frugé is leaving the paper under her own terms to pursue freelance work. I’m sure she will do amazing things in the future.

“It’s so hard to say goodbye to so many close friends. But I’m very excited that I have an opportunity to follow my passion and hopefully I’ll produce some meaningful stories in the process. I’ve made the decision to go freelance so I can focus on conflict photography and documentary projects.”

You can follow Nicole’s work through her blog The Last Picture Show.

Also, you can see Nicole present her work with a amazing lineup of photographers at the “best little underground photo conference out there” – GeekFest in St. Petersburg, Florida this September 11-13. If you have the means at all, you’re a fool not if you pass this up.

Currently there’s an eBay auction of  renowned photographer Sam Abell’s latest hardcover photo book, The Life of a Photograph going on until August 22, 2009.

The idea is to raise money for St. Petersburg Times photojournalist Stephen Coddington, whose wife Marian had a debilitating aneurysm last year. They are a couple in their 30s with two children. Abell donated this signed version to help raise money for the Coddington family.
