[Pancrazio portfolio: Nure Elatari, July 4, 2006]
Angela Cara Pancrazio (left), a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer at The Arizona Republic, who later became a well-respected writer and storyteller, died Thursday night at her home in Phoenix. She was 51 years old, and had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in May of 2007. Pancrazio won her Pulitzer when she worked at the Oakland Tribune. "In the end,'' her Republic obituary says, "Angela was surrounded by those who loved her, more than a dozen of whom planted gardens in her honor this spring. The tomatoes are just beginning to ripen and the flowers are now blooming." (For more of Pancrazio's work, see this slideshow.)[Photo: Nure Elatari, 25, treasures the necklace her father gave her, a reminder of how he wanted a good life for her in America. After high school, Nure began wearing a hijab, a sign of pride in her heritage. Originally published in the Republic on July 4, 2006]

ReplyDeleteThank you for posting Angela's obituary.
Suggest you take another look at the obituary. She won the Pulitzer at the Oakland Tribune, with photo staff, for the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. She was with the Arizona Republic at the time of her illness. She won many photo and writing awards.
Also, suggest you send a contribution to a cancer charity in her name for using one of her photographs without permission.
She was a great photographer and great woman.
Thank you.
@10:15 am: Thanks! I've added her work at the Tribune?
ReplyDeleteAll: What do you think of my use of artwork on this blog, in general?
Art is always good to have -- brightens up a blog. Copyright's a knotty issue though -- I think you're on solid ground when you use PDF's of front pages or when you embed videoes from other sights. Individual pix are dicier, but I'm no expert.
ReplyDeleteI prefer art on blogs. Some I view daily, simply because of the great photography.
ReplyDeleteI think your choices have been clever and inventive. The copyright issue is beyond me ... I was a little surprised at AP fussing as bloggers for cutting and pasting their stuff from newspaper sites. If a person gives credit, why is that bad?
I read that the stories were for "member use only," but how does that compute if you're a subscriber to the newspaper, clip the story and mail it to your daughter? And why is that different if you include it in e-mail or on a personal blog?
I'm serious. I'd like to know the rules ... don't want to get charged with stealing or misappropriating others' work at this late date.
