If you’re an on-location photographer or filmmaker, then you know how much value a great location can add to the shoot. I like to find and feature supercool locations around the world. Stuff I discover, stuff that others send me, places I’d love to shoot. If the location makes you scratch your chin, laugh aloud or the hair on your arms stands up... it might...

The Fine Art world has always been an interest of mine. In fact, I was pursuing a graduate degree in the philosophy of art before I quit to pursue photography full time. Quitting was the result of a waning interest in learning about dead white guys --- and it was a good move for me in the long run. Humans have been creating art for...

If you take photos for a living - or simply love the craft - you are probably like me in that you've spent more of your hard earned dough on cameras and photographic gadgetry than the average Joe. But would you be willing to pay 2 million dollars for a camera? That's a whole new level of love for the magic light-box. I'm referring to David Douglas Duncan's Leica...

Surf fans have likely already seen the video of Garrett McNamara, a 44-year-old Hawaii native, breaking the Guinness World Record for largest wave every ridden. Caught in Nazare, Portugal, the wave was measured by an independent panel of experts at a jaw-dropping 78 feet. Apparently McNamara almost missed out on this wave because he was so exhausted from the previous day of riding waves that, according to the professional surfer, "were a little...

I've always been a fan of photographic works by Andreas Gursky and others that are huge in scale and still maintain amazing detail. While Gursky is a living legend and none of us are approaching his sphere any time soon, there are a variety of more accessible approaches to creating massive images that maintain incredible details available to most of us As such I want to take a second to introduce Ben Pitt. Ben is...

I'm not a photojournalist by trade, but I am a member of the photography community and as such I'm always on the lookout to bring awareness to basic violations of our First Amendment rights. A few weeks back the National Photograpaher's Press Association joined a lawsuit against the NYPD. Sean D. Elliot, President of NPPA, stated that NPPA joined the lawsuit so that “it can effectively address the...

Dance is a universal form of expression. The spontaneous or choreographed movement of a human body tells a story, reflects social commentary, can be a spiritual exercise...or just damn fun. (impromptu dance parties are encouraged in my family...) We are born with this understanding of movement. Babies dance when they hear music. Dance even transcends humanity - even animals dance. Suffice to say I've had a long love-affair with capturing human movement in still photography,...
