The 2009 lineup of faculty members is underway and among the first who will join the Fall Photography at the Summit instructors is 2008’s first place winner in both spot news and spot news picture story from World Press Photo, John Moore of Getty Images.  His pictures, which also won him the title, “Photojournalist of the Year” in this country by the National Press Photographers Association, were of the assassination of Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto.  Stationed in Pakistan for several years before returning to the United States, he covered not only the turbulent politics of that part of the world, but also the war in Afganistan and Iraq.

James Hill, the New York Times photographer in Moscow, produced a remarkable behind-the-scenes look at the Russian penal system made famous by words — those of Solzhenitzyn’s devastating portrait of the gulag.  The pictures appeared in the Times and can be seen on their website: nytimes.com/world.  Hill has been on the Summit faculty twice.
