Several of you were puzzled by the two links included in my last post, wondering what they had to do with each other. I just followed the links and discovered why; the picture stories I linked to are updated frequently and so the links change as well. The original link targets were photos of refugees in Myanmar and China who had lost virtually all their belongings. One couple was attempting to save a family photo album, the other a large framed wedding portrait.
Photographers who document their family's life are providing a precious resource for future generations, as are professionals who are hired to do the same thing on special occasions.
Follow the links anyway to see some of the best of the week's photojournalism, and look for a new class next fall at the Rankin Arts Center, Family Photojournalism:On Assignment, taught by the Ledger-Enquirer's Robin Trimarchi.
Keep shootin' your families!

Thank you, Kenny, for clarifying the "connection." I did see the photograph of the family attempting to save the family photo album but not the one with the wedding portrait. I cherish my family photojournalistic albums above all others as they are a day to day reminder of who we are, where we've been and the love we share. I think the new class will be one I am sure to sign up for.
