A New Year and A New Magazine

Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by Editor in From the Editors

Happy New Year.

We have an exciting 2010 ahead of us, including, of course, he exciting launch of Photojournalism Planet. Jeff, Geeshan, and I have been working very hard preparing content for the first online issue, due out in only two weeks.

Geeshan has spent the last few weeks in Sri Lanka and I can say that we expect some very interesting articles from his trip there. Although he is not online very often, he manage to send us a message confirming that he has been working with Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society.

Jeff is heading back to Argentina after spending the holidays with his family in Canada. While he prepares for his trip South, he is also busy finishing up the website’s layout and searching for Canada’s ultimate fast-food place.

I, on the other hand, have been doing something unusually active: bicycling. Perhaps Jeff’s immediate reply, “I am surprised that you even know how to bike,” defines the true nature of my transportation choice, but bicycles are very important to many people in my hometown, Copenhagen. My first feature for Photojournalism Planet will explore the possibility of using a bicycle as your only transportation in one of Europe’s busiest cities. Is it possible? Can a tourist do it? I’ll continue my pedaling to find out until the inaugural edition is published on February 1, 2010.
I can promise you it will be worth it.

Best regards,

Ivan Thor Olafsson
