If you've been using the excuse that you're not making powerful shiznit because you're not a full-time photographer, take a lesson from this guy. Chris Arnade is 46, (Twitter @chris_arnade) lives in New York, and is a banker by day. But it's not his ability to count money that's gotten him a lot of press lately...it's his hobby, which is...

Day 4 here, coming at you--almost live--from Aspen/Snowmass. We've had an epic previous 3 days...and today the weather turned milky on us. Just white everywhere, with no snow...so we took the morning off which allowed me to wrangle a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos for your viewing pleasure. 30-something photos here from our iPhones, point and shoots, micro 4/3's etc. Big thanks to Andrew, Erik, and Jerard mostly for helping me compile some of these.

Heading into Day 3 during our Aspen/Snowmass campaign, the weather report was looking sketchy. Lo and behold, we were completely wrong--the weather shifted to pure glory and we were able to make some amazing photos again today with the collaboration of a solid crew.

Highlights: -surprise perfect weather -more work with Chris Davenport, world-renowned skier/mountaineer...

Yesterday's scout was epic. After waking at 3:55am Seattle time, flying Seattle >> Denver >> Aspen we arrived and hiked our asses up to 12,395 feet of elevation. Sea level to 12 grand in a few hours. Good for the heart and mind - hard on the lungs. Our scout + the weather report (scheduled for perfect sunshine) yielded information...

Alarm clock at 4am. Right now, 6am. Boarding an early morning flight from SEA to Aspen, CO via Denver. Does this rhetoric sound familiar? If it does, and if you're a regular around here, you'll recall a series of posts I did last year wherein I documented the play by play, day by day...

Ever clicked the sepia button on Aperture, Lightroom, or your favorite photo app and wondered, "What the hell is sepia?" I bet you have. It's fascinating how many novice and seasoned photographers alike don't know exactly what Sepia is. So I figured I'd give you all a little bit of cocktail party ammunition to impress...

Street artist Mark Jenkins challenges people with his unique sculptures of humans in interesting or compromising situations. Made from packing tape and then dressed in pants and shirts, wigs and jewelry, these "dummy" arrest the passerbys with surprise and delight. Click through the gallery above to see some prime examples of Mark Jenkins' work. Photos of the pedestrians passing seem completely disinterested in the oddities that they are strolling right past. Twin beds and sleeping...

The Vietnam War is often credited as the first conflict that was actually brought into the homes of American civilians. Graphic television reports, blooding images on black-and-white televisions...a lot has changed about the way we cover the war. But this series in The Atlantic captured my attention and pointed it to the first American war where photographic images were even captured. Made me realize how, even...
