Jon’s Postlife Crisis: Photographer Ken Jarecke

Ken Jarecke is a highly accomplished, world-wide known photographer. This is from his Wikipedia page:

Ken Jarecke is an American photo journalist, author, editor and war correspondent. He has worked in more than 80 countries and has been featured in Life magazine, National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and others. He was a White House photographer in the Ronald Reagan years, covered demonstrations from Tiananmen Square, the first Gulf War and shot nine Olympic games since 1988.

I’m not sure how you get a better resume than that.

Oh yeah, you create a fantastic photography book about Nebraska football!

In this episode, Ken and I talk about:

• Why you’d better think really hard about whether you want to be a professional photographer.
• Why sports photography is generic and boring.
• War photography? Conflict photography?
• Can you really change the world as a photojournalist?
• Ken has a new youtube series interviewing photographers, photojournalists that you should really pay attention to.
