Photograph editor, Web developer, designer and School of Journalism alumnus Bryan Moss visited associate professor Jim Kelly’s J344 Photojournalism Reporting and J560 Photojournalism classes this week to talk about online storytelling through words and images.

Moss, B.A. ’66, started out in newspapers, editing photos for 13 different newspapers in nine states, and has worked as a multimedia producer and teacher.

While at the Cincinnati Post, he helped design a new Web site for the newspaper that focused solely on high school football. The site, which folded after one season, won awards for its use of pictures.

The experience left Moss with a belief that the Web is the best place for visual storytelling. Today, he operates his own Web site about life in Corydon, Ind. (www.LifeinCorydon.com), where he lives with his wife, retired news photographer Mary Jo Moss, B.A. ’73 (English).

Bryan Moss is author of PhotoSynthesis, A Simple Guide to the Magic of Photography.
