John Moore spreekt bij NPPA
The National Press Photographers Association is pleased to announce that Getty Images photojournalist John B. Moore will be a keynote speaker at NPPA’s 2008 Convergence '08 at the Downtown Marriott in Louisville, KY, on May 30 and 31, 2008. Moore was named Photojournalist of the Year (Large Market) in NPPA’s annual Best Of Photojournalism contest, the largest photojournalism contest in the United States. On April 24, 2008, Moore was also awarded the prestigious Robert Capa Gold Medal from the Overseas Press Club of America.
Moore’s award-winning Best Of Photojournalism portfolio included his stunning coverage of the assassination of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and a heartbreaking photograph from Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. In that photograph, a grieving Mary McHugh stretched prone on her slain fiancé’s grave, a soldier killed in battle in Iraq. Moore will be presented with his Best Of Photojournalism awards on May 31 during NPPA's annual Honors & Recognition ceremony, which wraps up Convergence '08 in Louisville.
