I am a sucker for anything created in miniature (I worship at the throne of Lori Nix–who is also included in this exhibition). Matthew has also found his magic-realism bliss while photographing gadgets for his family’s former online business. ” I always wanted to b a photographer, however it manifested itself”

I was drawn to Sara’s Lucha Libre portfolio (actually there are two…one is a documentary style gallery, while the other is portraits of the wrestlers). Lucha Libre is a combination of sport, show-business and violence, and epitomizes the fight between good and evil

I have photographed the street life on negative black-and-white film. I then rewound the film and exposed the entire roll once again in another city somewhere else in the world.

When I have to start worrying about when and where I can use my device based not on the law or the content owner (whole other issue), but on a third party manufacturer’s initiative, then I have a problem. I have a problem because we’ve gone to a whole new level of this post 9/11, quasi Orwellian society that’s being built around us

For a quick background, I’m a features photographer at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix. It means that I do most of my work for our features sections (food, fashion, lifestyle) and our monthly glossy magazine AZ Magazine. It’s a very atypical newspaper job, but I really enjoy it. This also means that I’m lighting more often than not. Because it’s Phoenix, and usually very hot, most of my assignments are indoors, so there’s not always the need for the big monoblock strobes. Yes, they still sit in my car, but I’m not using them twice a day anymore…more like once a week.

A lot of the encomia to digital that I’ve been reading for the past decade smack slightly but distinctly of rationalization. Most such apologias aren’t a balanced view. There’s no problem with that, necessarily—we’re making a case for what we…

With June 1st, the first day of hurricane season, quickly approaching I thought I’d jot down some of the things I’ve picked up over the years as a Florida-based photojournalist covering hurricanes. Maybe these tips will help you; maybe they’ll get you into trouble. Who knows? But either way I hereby absolve myself of liability by stating that I’m not an expert, just a guy who has made a lot of mistakes when covering hurricanes… and has learned from *almost* every one.
