TweetA good friend of mine, Neil Osborne (currently in Toronto) is doing some really cool things within his niche lately, like landing an adjunct teaching position at Queen’s University teaching conservation photography and visual communication within their school of environmental studies. Some lucky students there… But the point of this entry is to point you [...]
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 [...]
TweetI haven’t been making much photography lately, things have been put on hold for various reasons one of them being I spent most of my week in bed (thanks Swine Flu!…I think) but I took the opportunity to read and look through a lot of books, one of which was the Ecotopia book that I [...]
TweetThis month’s Harper’s had a photo portfolio section that really captivated me. It was entitled Winter Stories, by Italian born New York photographer Paolo Ventura. I finally had the notion to dig deeper and look at more work on his website and, to be honest was not as excited as I was initially after I [...]
TweetI stumbled upon this link recently thanks to DVAfoto, but man is it a great find…especially for someone who consistently is on these streets. Recently, following her death, Chicago street photographer Vivianne Maier’s photographs are being unearthed and in many cases just being developed for the first time. There are a total of over 40,000 [...]
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 [...]
TweetI was reading an interview on Fecal Face (art website) recently and got pointed to the work of South African photographer Roger Ballen via an inspired painter. He seems to be an interesting case in that his work is clearly on the fine art side of things, but he started out in documentary work. It’s [...]
Tweet BAGnewsNotes hired NY freelancer Jason Andrew to photograph the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh over the weekend. New images will be revealed throughout the week as the blog attempts to be “looking at last week’s G20 protests in a way, we believe, that defies conventional thinking.” The first entry is up and the photograph is [...]
TweetMilwaukee Photographer/Photography Instructor Kevin Miyazaki’s class blog features a nice little interview with Michael Wilson, a Cincinnati portrait photographer whose understated and honest work I’ve always found quite inspiring. I first was exposed to Wilson’s work from my good friend and former classmate, now Ohio University photographer Kevin Riddell, a Cincy fellow himself. Wilson seems [...]
TweetUnless I’m having great adventures (like recently) I’d like this blog to turn into more of a conversation and a showcase of other really good work, as I’ve tried incorporating a bit as of late. I don’t intentionally look for medium format photographers but much of my inspiration comes from them. One thing that really [...]
