with presidents and photographing royalty, diplomats, and
newsmakers. They have been at the forefront of video and
photographic technology, presenting the history of the world
through their work. They are the "eyes of history."
This exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to appreciate
the art of journalism and to deepen their understanding
of the influential role of photojournalists in shaping our

High
School FOCUS on Photojournalism
(July 29 - August 3 , 2001)
This
summer, the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington,
D.C. offered a rare and exciting opportunity for high school
students nationwide to explore the world of political photojournalism
in the nation's capital. Up to 45 qualified individuals
had the chance to participate in an intensive 6-day photojournalism
summer program led by members of the White House News Photographers'
Association.
Through this unprecedented program, award-winning White
House photojournalists provided participants with an in-depth
look at the principles and practice of their trade. The
high school summer program, which began on July 29, 2001
and continued until August 3, was hosted by the Corcoran
College of Art and Design, located across the street from
the White House and minutes from Capitol Hill. This central
location offered the ideal place for participants to explore
the photojournalist's role in sharing-- and shaping-- the
news of Washington.
Throughout the week participants worked in small groups
directed by a professional White House photojournalist,
allowing the opportunity for group discussions and one-on-one
critiques. Daily workshops and lectures delved into the
real-life situations and settings faced by photojournalists,
shedding light on the dynamic relationship between the press
and politicians, and the secret to successful collaborations
with writers, photo editors, and reporters. Tours of the
offices of the Washington Post and US News & World Report,
as well as photo shoots inside the Capitol and other federal
buildings, provided participants with a hands-on perspective
into the world of photojournalism.
Distinguished photojournalists, who have privileged access
to newsmakers around the world, spoke each evening about
specific techniques they use and the challenges they face.
Scheduled faculty and lecturers included: Frank Johnson,
Joe Elbert, and Carol Guzy of the Washington Post; Cliff
Owen and J. Ross Baughman of the Washington Times; Gary
Cameron and Gary Hershorn of Reuters News Service; Pete
Souza of the Chicago Tribune; Kevin T. Gilbert, former President
of the WHNPA; H. Darr Beiser of USA Today; Harry Walker
of Knight Ridder Tribune Photo Service; Diana Walker of
TIME Magazine; Chick Harrity of U.S. News & World Report;
Susan Walsh (President of the WHNPA), Doug Mills, and Fred
