NEWS FROM ED KASHI, JUNE 2012

San Francisco, CA 2003

I would like to give a huge shout out to Julie Winokur and the Talking Eyes Media team for their successful Kickstarter campaign. Thank you to all of our friends, relatives, colleagues and generous supporters for enabling the TEM team to hit the road and film for Bring It to the Table Tour. In fact, they left for North Carolina this morning on the first leg of the "Table Tour." We wish them luck.

Thanks, Ed

PHOTOJOURNALISMS - THE APP!

Get your chance to WIN a FREE Skype portfolio session with Ed

by purchasing "Photojournalisms - the App!"

Ed's recent book "Photojournalisms" has received worldwide with praise from the NY TImes, The Guardian and ABC News and the May issue of News Photographer, among others. We are happy to announce that the enhanced companion digital version,"Photojournalisms - the App," is now available through iTunes.

Created by David Gross of Mimetic Books, "Photojournalisms the App" features the same collection of Ed's candid reflections while on assignment away from his home and growing family for over 20 years that are included in the limited edition hard cover book and experimental short film adaptation. The digital version goes deeper and capitalizes on the app medium by delivering more content such as an interactive map, never-before-seen images and contact sheets, audio/video supplements and a portal to ASK ED.

ASK ED is intended to serve as an interactive forum for personal assistance, individualized education and knowledgeable insights. Right now, there are opportunities to win a free Skype session with Ed and a first edition, signed version of the printed book.

Communication, connectedness, community and continuity are all primary objectives of ASK ED.
