Leveling Appalachia
Wednesday, October 14, 2009
TweetChad Stevens, a professor at UNC and a classmate/instructor friend of my from when I was at grad school in Athens has recently put out a piece with Yale and Mediastorm that studies the effects of mountaintop removal, which is a really important issue to me. Also, fellow Chicago photog Daniel Shea has some images [...]
Rotten Soul

TweetThere’s an interesting conversation with Magnum photographer Christopher Anderson over on the photography blog Conscientous… Now Anderson is probably someone who most look at as a traditional documentary photojournalist as far as putting people in boxes goes… but have a look at what he says. The death of journalism is bad for society, but we’ll [...]
Gigi Cifali
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
TweetNPR’s Picture Show Blog is a good place to see good work. Just when I think I’m completely sick of looking at photography I see a project that revitalizes and excites me. Today that project was Gigi Cigali‘s Absence of Water. Great project that tells a story just as well as any traditional newspaper picture [...]

Tuesday, May 26, 2009
TweetDinara, an interactive media student (disclaimer, she’s also my girlfriend) here at Ohio University has just finished a website about the former nuclear test site of Semipalatinsk polygon in her home country of Kazakhstan. It’s a pretty fascinating site, which is the culmination of research and two trips to the region where she went to [...]
Steve Winter’s Snow Leopards
Wednesday, May 20, 2009

When I talked to some editors (who were in town to speak last month) about the project they described it as one of the most challenging assignments to have been completed, with a [...]
@ Burn Magazine: One of the worst environmental disasters ever.
Saturday, May 9, 2009
TweetSomething that is encouraging about the plethora of online publishing options out there today is that professional journalists can put their work out there more easily, and in the case of photographer Carlan Tapp, he has managed to get his essay on the TVA Fly Ash spill up at David Alan Harvey’s Burn Magazine. Sure, [...]
Dark Tourism
Sunday, April 26, 2009
TweetIn a moment of boredom I was browsing through this year’s World Press Photo winners and I was brought back to a series that interested me initially when I looked at the winners a month or two ago, but one that I didn’t quite “get” at the moment, pretty much because I only fleetingly glanced [...]
Moving In
Wednesday, April 8, 2009
TweetAn Iraqi family moved into the Bryan House last week. From Iraq, the man named Imaad told me “Before 2003, Baghdad was paradise.” Unfortunately no portraits of the family yet, that will have to wait until summer. Just starting to get stuff scanned … On another note, I’ll be re-entering the digital photography world soon [...]
Vietnam photo – today
Sunday, April 5, 2009
TweetDavid Burnett, an amazing photographer in his own right, shares a really interesting story about being there when this iconic Vietnam image was made. He missed the photo but got to meet up with the photographer (an old colleague) and the girl, who has survived and now runs a non-profit in Canada. The story explores [...]
