I had several bouts of photographing as a kid, and had my first show in the lunchroom of the University School of Milwaukee (despite the confusing name, a prep school). But I didn’t really become a photographer until 1980, when…
Normally I’d complain about an iOS camera triggering app which requires a computer as well as a camera to make it work, but when that camera is loaded with the Phase One back, which pumps out 80MP images, you’re going to need somewhere bigger than the iPa
A big day for photography news today, thanks to the folks at Olympus. First up is the Pen EP3, the fifth iteration of its PEN Micro Four Thirds line, which manages to mix up pretty much everything while keeping it in the original PEN’s retro-style body. F
In photographing these women, both before and after they dress for the day, I wanted to communicate the idea of vulnerability and women’s presentation of one’s self to the world. All of us dress accordingly because we are all vulnerable and want to come across in our respective desired way

Jennifer Garza-Cuen got her start shooting slot champions, tourists and divorce parties at the motel casinos down route 40 in Reno, Nevada. Later she became a cocktail waitress at the Nugget, but perpetual dissatisfaction drove her on the road which landed her in Providence where she recently completed her MFA in Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design
“The world of Bruce Haley is not for the faint-hearted. Now living in Northern California, Bruce has traveled the globe photographing some of the darkest moments that only the intrepid want to face. “I wander toward the world‘s margins, the dark places, places of solitude, rural landscapes, wasteland. What this says about me is unimportant; what one encounters in such places is the heart of the matter. For it is there that life is unvarnished and vital, where the margins offer the occasional glimpse of a darkly-splendid world.”
Peripatetic artist Jim Dow has compiled many of his best-known images in this generous love poem to America. On the road, using a large format camera, Dow has catalogued the stadiums, the road signs, the diners, and the ice cream parlors that pepper the landscape.

“I realized that my own family — Edith’s family — was as miraculous as the most distant people in the world and they were at the same time, the most available to me, and perhaps available only to me…. I had not realized t
The Tumblr blog Kim Jong Il Looking At Things was launched on October 6th, 2010. All of the original photographs were taken and published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s propaganda wing mainly used to promote Kim Jong Il’s public image and the state’s official Juche ideology.

I shot the USA Track and Field Championships over the course of four days in Eugene, Ore. June 23-26, 2011. The first three days I was on my own and on the final and most hectic day, Oregonian intern Tyler Tjomsland joined in. It seems like every other big meet I’ve shot, the weather has always been extreme. This year, we had perfect weather which makes a long meet much more tolerable and enjoyable. I always like seeing old friends from around the country like Bill Frakes, Laura Heald, Kirby Lee and whole Register-Guard crew.

And sure enough, zombie-like, the freetards quickly took the bait, laying siege to the photographer’s Facebook page and elsewhere with their own interpretation of being cool and human
