Besides the high rollers of the photography world, such as Magnum and VII, there are quite a number of other photo agencies out there with absolutely a wealth of work to look through. Some really great ones to check out:
Aevum (brand spanking new-- some really young photographers in this one)
Agence Vu
I'd also encourage any of you to check out all the events going on during NY Photo Festival Week if you are around for it, along with that will be VII's three-day seminar, in Brooklyn-- and a bunch of other things going on.

Also just wanted to share some thoughts on the multimedia work we had to do for this week-- My piece is on an artist who's hung up a huge piece of art work in a cafe in Soho-- he's still working on it, so I thought I'd do a shoot on him in the process. I found it to be a bit of a struggle to shoot someone who was working on their artwork, most of the time he was stationary on the ladder, there was a big height difference, and looking for different angles to make it creative was hard. That and trying to get great audio or quotes doesn't come easy, especially when it's only supposed to be 1.5 mins. Working with a time constraint limits the audio quite a bit, so I think I've learned it really pays to be super picky, and you have to ask the spot-on questions. Hope everyone else's went alright... any thoughts to share?
