Editor’s Note
Be sure never to throw away this issue of
Digital Photo Pro. In fact, although the
theme of this issue is Photojournalism
and Travel Photography, we really should
have called it the “Warning: Keep This
Issue Forever” issue. Or perhaps the “Do
Not Lend...Even To A Friend” issue.
Why? For starters, we’ve included
award-winning photojournalists Steve
McCurry and Lynsey Addario, who’ve
provided some exceptional images and
discuss various aspects of their careers
and recently published retrospective
anthologies. (You can see one of Addario’s
extraordinary photographs on this page
from her assignments covering conflicts
in sub-Saharan Africa in the Darfur
region of Sudan.) Also, photojournalist
Andrea Bruce, who has won her share
of prominent awards, discusses how
she’s using multimedia in a new way to
explore what democracy, community and
citizenship mean today. And she includes
some equally powerful photographs.
But if that wasn’t enough, we take you
to explore some unique travel images.
First, we think you’ll be fascinated by
the images shot by astronaut Terry Virts
during his missions on board the Space
Shuttle Endeavour in 2010, and 200-
plus days on the International Space
Station in 2014 through 2015. Plus, we
travel along with writer and photogra-
pher Mark Edward Harris, who inter-
views photographer and director Jimmy
Chin, who took home the Oscar for bestdocumentary film this year for his film
“Free Solo.” And while I know Alfred
Hitchcock created the movie “Vertigo,” I
believe you’ll actually experience vertigo
when you check out Jimmy Chin’s pho-
tos of Alex Honnold’s ropeless ascent up
El Capitan that he used for the movie.
They’re extraordinary travel and adven-
ture images that are one of a kind.
So, after you read this issue, be sure
to keep it safe (and even hidden from
others), since I believe you’ll be return-
ing to it again and again.
Enjoy your treasured issue!— Terry Sullivan
