In 2001\u00a0the RIT photojournalism students felt that\u00a0their work deserved a show of its own. A\u00a0show that celebrated the great work being done in the program. With the help of professor Loret Steinberg, What We Do was born. 14 years later, the judging and subsequent exhibition have grown exponentially. Just in my time as an officer of the RIT NPPA, I have seen, and been a part of, the What We Do judging grow from prints carefully hung with binder clips\u00a0to a series of folders shown in Photo Mechanic. \u00a0The exhibition has grown from the center hallway cases on the second floor of Gannett Hall to the walls of a beautiful gallery. And the prizes have come to reflect the caliber of work they reward. As the RIT NPPA has matured, so to has What We Do.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned above, last year was a year of big changes for What We Do. We went to a digital only submissions and judging format, no longer requiring students to submit prints for the judging. We also moved the exhibition\u00a0from the hallways of building 7 to the Dyer Arts Center, a beautiful gallery housed in the National Technical Institute for the Deaf on the RIT Campus. This year, in response to the growing interest many students have in picture editing, we’ve added a Picture Editing Portfolio category. The winner of this category will receive full tuition to the Kalish Editing Workshop to be held at RIT in June. The judges are top notch: We have a multimedia professor at a top J School, an editor from the New York Times, and staff photographer from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The exhibition also has big changes. This year we are excited to announce that the What We Do winners will hang at Booksmart Studio<\/a>\u00a0in downtown Rochester, NY right in the heart of the Neighborhood of the Arts.<\/p>\n

May\u00a0the best photographer win.<\/p>\n
