10 BEST

For those of you who are unfamiliar with how things go at The Daily Iowan, here's a quick recap: Amy is our photo editor and I am the assistant photo editor. Our newspaper is run by students completely - up to the editor-in-chief. We don't get class credit for working at the paper and we don't have an "adviser."

The adults run the business side of it though. We have a publisher, Bill Casey, who's been there for years. We have an advertising crew, a business staff, a photo coach and a writing coach. The students put out the paper though, and we're critiqued by them on what ran. But the "adults" never see what runs before it does.

As a photographer, we meet with our photo coach once a week during a two hour long critique session. Our photo coach is Danny Wilcox Frazier. He is a documentary photographer who recently had his work put up on Mediastorm. So yes, we are lucky. Last week he asked us to bring in our best 10 photos we've ever shot. And he critiqued them.


Here's what I showed...What do you think?
