I recently got an email form an amateur photographer celebrating the fact that a photograph he took of a famous writer was published on a trade magazine’s website. On congratulated him and asked, already suspecting what the answer would be, how much they paid. His answer was that they published his photograph in return for [...]  Everyone seems to be looking for a shortcut. Is there a single place where I can find every grant I want to apply for? Are there five things that I can do to become a successful photographer in the next six months? Is there a way to get food in my belly without all the [...] What nice image to wake up to! Yesterday images from my project, The Europeans, were featured on the New York Times Lens Blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited that my work is reaching a larger audience. I’ve been working on this project for the past seven years and there have been many times where I [...] March 23rd, 1995 is a day I’ll always remember. I was a junior in high school who enjoyed photography but wasn’t totally committed to it. Probably a week before I heard there was going to be a big demonstration around cuts to education in New York and I thought it would be a great opportunity [...] There’s some good news this week: I’ve been awarded a Knight-Luce Fellowship in Global Reporting from USC Annenberg! “Damaso Reyes will investigate the growth of European Pentecostalism led by immigrants from former European colonies. Reporting from Spain, England and Ukraine, Reyes will examine how Charismatic faiths are growing while traditional European Christian [...] Even after all these years it amazes me what you come across just walking down the street, sometimes the same street you always do… Barcelona, February 2012 When you get to set your own deadlines as a photographer you can revisit the same topic over and over again. Some might feel that’s repetitive but for me it’s an opportunity to dig deeper and find the nuance that I might have missed earlier. You might remember that last year I spent time documenting a [...] In the spirit of full disclosure, here are some more links that will help you understand both my photography and my current project, The Europeans. Sometimes when you blog you assume once you’ve posted something everyone has seen it. Well of course that’s not true so I thought I’d post some links about me and my work… This time last year I was up to my neck in snow in New York City, dreaming of being back in sunny Barcelona. Snow bound and down. January 27th 2011. New York City. A year later here I am… And next year? I can honestly say I don’t know where I’ll be. And for me that’s the [...] Dreams happen quickly but realizing them takes much, much longer. Remember that as you continue down your own road. Remember how brave men and women throughout history have sought out the impossible and prevailed, most often after many failures…. If you haven’t listened to The Speech lately I highly recommend taking a moment to get yourself [...] It’s true I’m not a huge fan of parades. Growing up as a press photographer in New York City you cover a lot of parades and they all tend to suck. They come in two flavors: boiling hot (Puerto Rican Day Parade, Fourth of July for example) or blisteringly cold (I’m talking about you Thanksgiving [...] So how was your first week of 2012? For me it sure seemed a lot like 2011 I have to say. But the days are getting longer so there’s that… Public Festival, Barcelona January 2012 I know it has been a good long while since you saw some new postcards from me but the long wait is now over!
