Congratulations to all but particularly to David Harvey and Burn. David, you have reinterpreted the photo essay. One of the most important things you are doing is proving that there is an audience for good, inventive visionary storytelling. Magazines are failing because they shoot for the lowest common denominator.
Burn doesn’t, its pure.
All best from South Sudan

@Stephen Alvarez,
Yeah, that’s pretty amazing that Burn won that and quite a contrast to another magazine that was nominated that I heard was using images without permission.
I curious to know how they nominate the photographers for the Lucie awards. Are they voted in by a panel of judges early on and if so who’s the person that is responsible for choosing these first round nominees .. It doesn’t stay much on there website. Like most awards in our biz, you have to pay to play. The Lucies seem different..
All the best to the winners.. very inspiring work
was a nice evening and congrats to nadav kander for winning the photographer of the year award
Nice to hear about the awards.
Too bad there is not a link to see them except Burn.

I want to sit on the floor in the middle of Marvin Newman’s images. I could go on and on. Everyone was amazing. Passion and expression of that passion is a very powerful thing.
I just read foto8 Magazine’s Twitter feed which said this regarding Burn’s win:
“foto8 FOAM, Aperture, other mags ignored Lucie best mag “award”. winner nascient website. how “innovative” to give real, viable print the finger.”
B-O-R-I-N-G…….. outside of Burn Magazine and maybe Nadav, its the same old players, showing the same old work or some derivative of it. PDN and the award shows need to look no further than themselves for why the industry is in serious decline. How about celebrating and rewarding innovation, people who move the industry forward rather than keeping it the same.
[…] I learned that David Alan Harvey’s Burn Magazine won the Lucie award for best photography magazine of 2009, I sensed some parallels with President Obama’s Nobel […]
