Last night the NYPPA community of photojournalists lost a great man, a great father and a great husband. Anthony J. Causi lost his battle with this horrible virus COVID-19. The NYPPA and all his friends and colleagues around the world are devastated. There will never be another Anthony Causi. For those that knew him he was so generous before anything else. He would help anyone that wanted help in photography. He was a gentle giant, he was a sports icon among sports photographers and he was a loyal friend. His family and his wife Romina and his two young children Mia and Johnny need all the love and support that we as a community can give them. There has been a GOFUNDME Page setup. Please go to that and help the Causi's now as the family is in need of all the love and support it can get.

The New York Press Photographers Association Update and Message to our Members

The health and safety of our NYPPA members is and always has been our number one priority at The NYPPA -- never more so than now.  As the situation around the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) continues to evolve at a rapid pace, we have decided to implement measures to ensure your safety.

As you may know, NY State today placed restrictions on large gatherings.  While it is not yet clear whether these guidelines apply to organizations like ours, we have made the decision to implement the following changes at NYPPA:

  • we will postpone the upcoming NYPPA Gallery Opening and workshops, PhotoNY, for visual journalists that was to be held on April 25, 2020 25 at Artspace PS109 in Manhattan to a date in the future.

  • we will postpone the NYPPA Dinner at the Water Club that was to be held Thursday May 14, 2020 to a date in the future.

Also, our NYPPA monthly Board meetings will until further notice will be held via conference calls.

Again, we apologize for this sad news that sets us all back both professionally and personally. But we vow to come back stronger than ever when this contagion runs its course.

It goes without saying that the health and safety of our organization is our number one priority, so we will continue to provide updates as we receive any new information. 

Until then, we wish you all the best of health.
The Board of the NYPPA

2nd Place - Grass Cutting Grandma - Andre Malok | NJ Advance Media

Judy SanSeverino is also known as the Crazy Lady on Route 22 in Whitehouse Station. But she's not really crazy at all. This 70-year old grandmother just loves her town so much that she cuts the center median grass on the busy highway.

3rd Place - Chefs and Tattoos  - Tania Savayan | The Journal News

Chefs Matthew Safarowic, Michael Russo, Sajin Renae Perino, George Kringas and Christian Petroni talk about their tattoos.

Honorable Mention - Life after losing a parent - Shelby Knowles | Newsday

Three Long Islanders are carrying on their parents’ legacy with what they left behind.

Honorable Mention - American Bald Eagles in NJ - Andre Malok | NJ Advance Media

In 1973, there was one American bald Eagle nest in New Jersey. The pesticide DDT was largely blamed for the near extinction of this large predatory bird species. Today, there are an estimated 200 nesting pairs. The return of the bald eagle is considered one of the biggest environmental comeback stories in the state

Feedback

Overall, the judges felt that this was a very weak category. It was difficult to decide on the winners as there wasn’t one piece that rose to the top. Overall, the judges felt that all of the entered videos were much too long, with way too much music. Overall, the narrative arc of the entered works weren’t clear and so the viewers were sure what they were getting themselves into. African Rice rose to the top because it had a clear narrative arc and a focused story with action. It wasn’t just interview-driven. Grass Cutting Grandma divided the judges about whether it was a worthy story, but they all agreed it was well shot with a clear, focused storyline. Chefs and Tattoos was an original and interesting story, but was an example of being way too long. The judges liked the stories of Life after Losing A Parent, but found the navigation to be confusing. American Bald Eagles in NJ was another example of a (fairly) tightly edited, clear story.

Multimedia (over 5 minutes)

1st Place - Being “The Empress - Shelby Knowles | Megan Miller | Newsday

Long Island native Alicia “The Empress” Napoleon-Espinosa is the WBA super middleweight champion. However, being a world champion female boxer doesn’t guarantee a comparable paycheck to the men. While training for a fight, Napoleon-Espinosa works a full-time job as trainer, as well as training up to three times a day. 

2nd Place - Proving Innocence: The Story of Keith Bush - John Conrad Williams, Jr. | Yeong-Ung Yang | Thomas Maier | Newsday

Keith Bush was a 17-year-old junior at Bellport High School when Suffolk authorities charged him with killing Sherese Watson, 14, after a late-night house party in North Bellport. For the past 44 years, Keith Bush has claimed he was an innocent man, ever since he was accused and convicted of the 1975 Suffolk County sex-related murder.

3rd Place - Testing The Divide Password Manhattan - NEWSDAY STAFF | NYPPA Members (Jeffrey Basinger, Raychel Brightman, Robert Cassidy, Chris Ware, Shelby Knowles, Alejandra Villa Loarca, William Perlman, Yeong-Ung Yang)

Real estate agents associated with Long Island’s biggest brokerages had more than 200 opportunities to suggest houses to paired testers in eight overwhelmingly black and Hispanic communities during Newsday’s fair housing investigation.

Honorable Mention - Martin Tower: The company, the history and the end - Saed Hindash & Andre Malok | NJ Advance Media - For lehighvalleylive.com

The 21-story Martin Tower opened in 1972 and was the tallest building in the Lehigh Valley. It was the headquarters for Bethlehem Steel and heart of the city that it helped build. More than four decades after the building became a fixture in this community, Martin Tower was being razed to the ground. Its silhouette along the Valley skyline was coming to an end.

Honorable Mention - Joyce: One elephant's rescue from slaughter and unforgettable journey to peace - Andre Malok | NJ Advance Media

In 1984, American fitness mogul Arthur Jones saved 63 elephant calves from slaughter in Africa in an amazing airlift effort. One of those animals would later be named Joyce. He brought those elephants to his property in Ocala Florida. After just three years, they were dispersed across North America. After decades of relocations and reports of mistreatment, Joyce has found a new home among six other African elephants at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

Feedback

Overall, the judges felt that the “over 5 minute” category was far superior to the work in the shorter category. “The Empress” was a clear winner and more than worthy of the top spot. It had it all: great shooting, multiple narrative arcs (her personal story, the bigger story of unequal pay, etc) and the emotional build up to the final match. The judges felt the Keith Bush story was just about worthy of a spot on Netflix, both in the quality of story and the production value. Testing the Divide was an important piece of investigative journalism and although lacking in dazzling camera work, the complex reporting was effectively put together in a clear and understanding way. The judges felt Martin Tower was a great way to bring a deeper understanding to the standard day-turn news story. And they felt the story of Joyce the Elephant was a great way to highlight the backstory of a member of the community that might surprise many viewers/readers.

]]>It is with great Sadness that we have to share the passing of Vic “Vito” DeLucia.William PerlmanSat, 17 Nov 2018 19:54:53 +0000https://www.nyppa.org/news/2018/11/17/it-is-with-great-sadness-that-we-have-to-share-the-passing-of-vic-vito-deluca56d9c4787c65e401653dd1c6:56d9c69c1ccbd16b65c68ed9:5bf071f91ae6cf7a694e0aedA note from his longtime friend and colleague Jerry Engel………

‘Former New Orleans York Times and New YorkPost Photographer Vic DeLucia passed away on Friday, November 16, 2018 following a long illness. He died at his beloved Glen Cove home with family members and his wife Joanne at his bedside. He was 85 years old.
After working at the Journal American, until they shut down in 1966, he came to the Post after I convinced Stan Opotowsky to put him on staff and he remained with us for 10-12 years, when he moved over to the Times.
Vic was a close friend and mentor when I joined the Post in 1954 and we remained close up to a short conversation the night before he died. He served two terms as treasurer and member of the Board of  Trustees of The New York Press Photographers Association. He also won numerous awards for his photography over his long career.
While at the Post, Vic was always seen smoking his pipe and friendly with everyone, from copyboys/copygirls to the editors. He and Larry Nathanson had a close friendship from their years at the Journal.

No funeral services as he wanted to be cremated, but his wife said there will be a memorial in the summer.  

He will forever be in my thoughts. 

RIP my good friend, you deserve it.’

JERRY ENGEL
