By Rod MarFootball is easily my favorite sport to photograph. Combining peak action, great emotion and a sense of ritual and ceremony, football is not only a visual feast for the eyes, but also your camera. There’s a reason why up to 100,000 fans pack stadiums every weekend, planning days, weekends and even annual vacations around games.

When thinking about what Denver-based photographers I would most like to interview, Matt Slaby immediately came to mind. An 6 foot 7inch tall EMT, Firefighter, photojournalist with a law degree, Matt Slaby’s less than expected roots have sculpted his thoughts as well as his unique aesthetic as an artist. His photographs exhibit a documentarian’s sense of the fleeting, calling into question what lies beneath these captured moments. On a mild fall afternoon, Matt and I ventured out east to a small rural town shooting photos, discussing his journey in photography and how partial color blindness can make work challenging for a color photographer..

Unable to see more than a few yards in front of himself, Mr. Gallagher pressed the shutter and the man disappeared into the sandstorm, as if he had been an apparition.

CLICK NOTE: Played with one of these yesterday. Interesting concept.
If you are a photographer, amateur or pro, you’ll be familiar with the two constants of the field: You can never have enough bags, and you can never find the right strap. James Duncan Davidson, photographer and podcaster, decided to do something about the strap.

It’s that time of the year again, so without further ado, these are the photo books that impressed me the most this past year. I’m listing them in no particular order, with the exception of the very first one: jpegs by Thomas Ruff. Cutting-edge work, challenging the way we think about photographs, presented beautifully in a large (but not too large) book, maybe in the best possible way (since I don’t think the work gains anything from blowing it up even larger and hanging it in a gallery or museum).
