You’ll notice the overall visual changes first. While the old site (image 2 in the slideshow above) was good enough, it was a stock wordpress template and has been popping up all over the place of late. It was cluttered, didn’t utilize the full width of modern computers, and was beginning to look dated. Mostly, I was just tired of it and thought I could do something that fit our visual content better. We also wanted a way to highlight posts from our archive.

“I recently had a client show me an eCommerce site they wanted built. I replied that what they wanted is about a $20,000 web site. They later told me that they had a guy who lived in a cabin who just needed money who would do the whole site for $1,000. He didn’t work out.”
Our mission is to educate photojournalists, not only in current technologies, but in understanding cultural differences and similarities and to contribute to truth, ethics, and social justice.
Our goal is to reflect honesty, sensitivity, and intelligence in photojournalism, and to use these as tools to inspire, educate, and promote change in the world around us.
Through the workshops, photojournalists will experience international location coverage working with Nonprofits and NGOs and develop an understanding of their social responsibility to provide voice to all members of society while stressing truth and ethics in an effort to bring about social change.
Hi and welcome to the new luceoimages.com. We created this site in large part to help grow our photographic community and to encourage participation from those of you that have been frequenting the old Luceo site, our collective blogs and personal portfolios over the last two years. This update is the next step in that trajectory, something that’s a little more user-friendly, a little more centralized, and full of new stuff to explore. So get yourself a cup of coffee and make yourself at home. Click away and comment away. We’d love to hear from you.

Taking it’s name from a darkroom/photo processing technique, the Dodge & Burn Blog is dedicated to DIVERSITY in PHOTOGRAPHY. My posts reflect PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY as I would have loved to have learned it and CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY as I see and value it.
Dodge & Burn photography blog will highlight what is often “dodged” from the art scene and “burned” in art history: photographers of African, Asian, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and Aleutian heritage, women photographers and works of photography about these and other indigenous communities of the world.

I get asked all the time, during workshops, in e-mails, in private messages, what words of wisdom I would give to a new and aspiring photographer. Here’s my answer.
This was created in dedication to the photographer Vivian Maier, a street photographer from the 1950s – 1990s.
Vivian’s work was discovered at an auction here in Chicago where she resided most of her life. Her discovered work includes over 100,000 mostl

I acquired Vivian’s negatives while at a furniture and antique auction. From what I know, the auction house acquired her belongings from her storage locker that was sold off due to delinquent payments. I didn’t know what ‘street photography’ was when I purchased them.
It took me days to look through all of her work. It inspired me to pick up photography myself. Little by little, as I progressed as a photographer, I would revisit Vivian’s negatives and I would “see” more in her work. I bought her same camera and took to the same streets soon to realize how difficult it was to make images of her caliber. I discovered the eye she had for photography through my own practice. Needless to say, I am attached to her work.
