What's Next in Photography? - Michael Lutzky

During FotoWeek DC's annual PhotoFest, a group of concerned photography professionals brought together a series of presenters to talk briefly about what's next in the industry. Michael Lutzky, a former staff photographer for the Associated Press who now is a strategy and management consultant for media companies, was among the presenters, and the presentations are now online on YouTube. Lutzky made a number of remarkable points, one so much so that I added it in to the beginning of my presentation (with his permission, of course.)

Here's the Highlights video (RSS readers see the video here):

Hi --

I am trying to reach Michael Lutzky about a photograph he may have taken at the RNC protests in Philadelphia in 2000.

I'm having trouble tracking down an email address so I thought I would post here...

He can reach me at saraforgione@yahoo.com

thanks
