Photojournale – Connections Across a Human Planet – launches in Cali

A stunning collection of photos from some of the world’s finest documentarians, visionaries and front-line photojournalists, Photojournale is celebrating its launch in book form at a party in Berkeley, California, on March 30th, 2010.

Join Fotovision in celebrating the book release of Photojournale Connections Across a Human Planet, at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Library, from 7:00pm to 9:30pm, March 30th, 2010. There will be a reception along with a lecture/slideshow and book signing.

This remarkable book and photo collection evokes a vast range of emotional responses and was edited virtually, spanning the continents and our planet, by the contributing photographers, most of whom have never met in person. The main idea behind the project was to create something for the real world that brings value to the virtual product.

The narrative of Photojournale Connections Across a Human Planet follows the concept of cradle to grave; Childhood, education/school, adolescence, work, home, ritual, religion, celebration, sport, art, conflict, aging, sickness, death, mourning and remembrance. It’s an emotional and human journey of images drawn from the documentary stories, captured moments or situations from every continent.

Photojournale Connections Across a Human Planet illustrates the common truths that connect the human experience and is represented by photographers from around the world. The book is drawn as an edited anthology of photo documentary and photojournalism stories that are published on Photojournale.com
