TweetI’m down in New Orleans this week with some other great artists, photographers, creators etc. processing the work that people have created and curated for the 2010 American Diversity Project. For me personally this is pretty much the first time I tried to form a body of work that was more conceptual and process based in [...]
Tweet Recently made a day trip down to Indianapolis to photograph Phyllis Sellars, a grad of IU in Bloomington for a story on the value of a college education.

Tweet A couple months ago Victoria, a photo editor at City Magazine in NY asked me to make some portraits of Australian born/Chicago living artist Via Tania.

Today that project was Gigi Cigali‘s Absence of Water. Great project that tells a story just as well as any traditional newspaper picture [...]
TweetRecently I posted over on the APAD blog a little article quoting some editors over at SELF magazine speaking about the photoshop retouch work that goes on for their magazine covers, or specifically, their latest cover with Kelly Clarkson. Former classmate Andrea Morales pointed it out to me via facebook. Ironically, I subscribe to mostly [...]
