The Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles and Canon Burbank present an evening with Don Bartletti.
Don will share some of the highlights of his career and how he avoided burnout and buyouts, waltzed with editors and bean counters, archived negatives, notes and digital files, and his unwavering loyalty to the ethics and aesthetics of photojournalism.
His journalistic and personal devotion to migration across our southern border remains an unprecedented long-range documentary project that extends from the late 1970’s to the 2019 migrant caravans at the Tijuana border.
He was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for his six-part Los Angeles Times photo essay Enrique’s Journey. He was the 2014 Pulitzer Finalist for International Reporting for Product of Mexico. Other recognitions include the Robert F. Kennedy Grand Prize for International Photojournalism, George Polk Award; Scripps-Howard Foundation, Overseas Press Club, Pictures of the Year International and dozens more. On staff at Los Angeles Times for over 32 years and a combined 10 years at San Diego Union-Tribune, the Oceanside Blade-Tribune and The Vista Press. His many assignments took him across the nation and to 32 countries.
