Well its that time of year again for PDN to unveil their 30 new and emerging photographers to watch. Although the full list remains secret and will be revealed in the March issue which has yet to hit the news stands or arrive in the mailbox we here at WTJ were cunningly able to identify two of the 30.
Not meaning to play spoiler but seeing as it is February the 29th already BIG UP to Mike and Adam for their inclusion in this years class. I am a huge fan of them both and had no problem spotting their signature work on the invite to the upcoming seminar 'Transitions: Strategies For The Young Working Photographer.'
This show and tell will feature 4 of the 30 along with moderator Jeanine Fijol, photo editor PDN, Amy Lunden, photo editor Budget Travel magazine and Fiona McDonagh, photo director Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Scheduled for Monday March 10 at Parsons School of Design we will remind you all again closer to.
As a PDN 30 alumn myself I cannot say how grateful I am for the opportunity and the honor. It certainly helped open doors for me and I wrote a post here on my experiences.
So welcome Mike, Adam and the other 28; make sure to pick up the key to the special 30 clubroom over at PDN HQ and don't forget to ask about the secret hand shake.
Heres to you PDN 30 class of 2008 !

Is it just me or do both of this guys portraits look exactly the same? Deadpan, straight into the camera and real suburbanites at that. Seems like they are following as oppose to leading.(the 30 has always felt that way to me)
hmmm, following or leading. Is there much room for leading in the under 30 category?
I picked the issue today. There are some on the list that aren't really striking, but there were a few I found very strong. Munem Wasif's photojournalism, Christina Paige's street work, and Graeme Mitchell's fashion.
