Tweet Every so often I go back and photograph the disorganization of the woods. My brother once told me he doesn’t know anyone who takes more pictures of barren trees than I do. I’m not really sure why I always seek it out, but I guess I don’t need to know why. I hardly even [...]

The evolution of the landscape
Tweet Recently, Sumner, a small town outside of Christchurch, New Zealand was hit with yet another earthquake – one of many aftershocks the region has encountered since a large quake in February. Fortunately this quake doesn’t seem to have taken any lives, but it’s still a tragedy and has caused good bit of damage, disrupting [...]
Our Choice for iPad
Tweet Al Gore’s book on climate change “Our Choice” recently came out as an app for the iPad. The newly worked version of this book includes my view of the Pioneer Forest in Missouri, a large sustainably managed (and absurdly beautiful) forest that I hope to visit again. Good to see it getting good reviews [...]
The Woods/Another SF Trip
Tweet It’s been a busy few weeks here since I got back from SF earlier this month, wrapping up shoots for a few new exciting clients and slowly getting things geared up for a few classes I’m teaching this summer. Also, I’ve spent some time in the woods, which, if you know me is par [...]
Post-Landfill Landscapes on Urbanautica/Gapers Block
Tweet It’s been a good few months in terms of opportunities to share my work more. Another one of my favorites sites at Urbanautica recently put up some work from my Post-Landfill Landscapes series. This is a different edit than on my site and includes some images I’ve never shared before. Urbanautica editor Steve Bisson [...]
Annalemma Magazine: A fiction created by words and pictures
Tweet I’ve always loved the imagery that goes with the fiction pieces in the New Yorker. There’s something inherently unique about a photograph, something supposedly grounded within reality, used to illustrate a body of unrelated, or indirectly related text. In the future I hope to team up with more writers, fiction or non, to use [...]
My neighborhood in a blizzard
Tweet There was a blizzard here, but you knew that. I went out for a walk in the middle of the hardest snowing hours to make a series of abstract images, this one being one of my favorites. The snow was truly on a scale I haven’t seen except for the time I almost fell [...]
Dunes: Northern Michigan
TweetThere’s something great about hiking a barren place on cloudy, cold October days when no one else in the world finds it to be a suitable activity.
Fox River Sketches: #2
Tweet So, what I didn’t mention in my last post about this experiment project is that every so often, when I process a batch of film from my time on the Fox River shoreline, I spend some time in my yard setting fire to the negatives to a certain extent. Most of the time I [...]
Max Bittle
TweetI’m going to use this moment in my Tuesday morning to point any of you readers to a beautiful new website by Concord, NH photographer Max Bittle. I’ve watched Max’s work for awhile, since the days when he was a student at Southern Illinois University and would always have better pictures than me in the [...]
