things they don’t teach you in art school
Or maybe they do; I don’t know, I didn’t go to art school. But it surprised me today, when I stopped and thought about the most important thing I’ve learned building a photo business from the ground. The most important thing I’ve learned over the last four years is how important it is to say…
one of many
When I embarked on my self-portrait for every show I shoot project, it was out of self-preservation: I wanted a year long project that was easy, and solitary, but also gave me some challenges. It’s easy and solitary to take a picture of yourself in a bar bathroom, but it’s hard, after about 50 shots,…
hopscotch music fest: photographing the photographers
One of my favorite things is to catch other photographers at work. A handful snapped during Hopscotch.
hopscotch music fest 2011: a preview
Or, more accurately, my preview. The trouble with a great festival like Hopscotch is that I look at the schedule and get overwhelmed; there’s so much to see, I will probably just end up sitting on the sidewalk outside of Kings weeping from an inability to make a choice.

It’s totally changed the way I think of promo shoots, because it was such a good time;…

Last week, in a fit of what can only be described as “depression fueled Amazon.com retail therapy”, I bought a set of 48 Prismacolor colored pencils. I had a set at one point, left over from my theater days, and it disappeared in my move from Chicago to the NC; I’d just never gotten around…
30 in 30
I’ve written about my friend Michelle a lot before; she gave me my first SLR out of the goodness of her heart, she runs an amazing photography grant, she’s funny and brilliant and wicked, she’s the best mom I know after my own, she’s been one of my biggest cheerleaders and best friends as I…
mobile
Like most people with a smartphone these days, I’ve been mucking around with mobile photography — specifically with the Android app RetroCamera (because unlike Vignette, it was free). It’s enjoyable enough; I have to think about shooting with my cell phone differently than with my camera, but what it mostly makes me crave is film….
