From the street to the gallery: Ever wonder what happens to old skateboards that get tossed when next year's decks come out? Turns out some of them make it into the three-dimensional sculptures of Japanese artist Haroshi. Haroshi takes layers of stacked decks and transforms them into multi-colored body parts, animals, toys and shoes [which I'd definitely wear]. Here's a little insight into the process, taken from the...

How does that song go? "I believe the children are our future." While it's an obvious statement, apparently photographer Danny Goldfield shares this same sentiment. Over a period of seven years, he dedicated his work to photographing a child from every country... except he did it at all right on the streets of New York City. The work is not only a journey into the faces of...

This is the highest I've ever been. It’s weird. Days on Kilimanjaro feel both infinitely long and short at the same time. They are long thanks to pre-dawn wakeups, 10 hours on trail 5 to 14 miles and 3-4,500 vertical feet covered each day. They are short because there is nearly zero time for anything but climbing, preparing for climbing, or, sleeping. Honestly, the focus is a welcome change from the day-to-day “real” world stuff....

There's one thing about classical music that I've always believed: it is far better to see it performed than to hear a recording of it. While this is true for just about all kinds of music, the multi-layered nature of classical compositions (especially pieces that call for large orchestras) make it even more suited than normal for in-person performance. And when those performances take place in public, the experience is all the more radical. Breaking...

It's been out in the marketplace for a while now - but the conversation and questions continue to churn around the D600. Is it all that and a bag of chips? Or is there a catch? Is it a good choice for the working pro and how does it compare to Nikon's D800? At a pricepoint that is majorly accesible, it offers similar features as the DX-format D7000 and seems to represent a big leap...

Friends! I’ve sent out a few social pings over the past couple days about being in Africa, but this is really the first time I’ve had more than a moment to share the lay of the land. I’m here on a passion project with a group friends and educators (summitonthesummit.com) to learn more about the global water crisis, share what I learn with the...

Sometimes you have to get off the beaten path to find the real texture in a location. The truth is, locations that are hard to find will reveal new angles and subjects. Trust me, if it's hard to find and get to - it will produce something new and different. So, as they say, "Take a Hike." You will be rewarded. Nicaragua isn't quite Cancun, but it had become more...

Just how history will judge our country's use of drones in the "War on Terror" is not for me to decide. I'm not going to to wax political or to publicize in which direction my moral compass points. What I can do is show you how this powerful machine of war is being seen by a handful of artists around the world. Through these representations we find...

UPDATE: if you dig mirrorless cameras or want to find out why everybody else loves them, you're in luck. creativeLIVE has courses on mirrorless cameras by the talented John Greengo. Go here to check it out, learn more, enroll, etc. ______ I like to shoot with the newest, biggest, baddest DSLR as much as the next guy. And I'm lucky enough to do so on the regs for my commercial work; however, when it comes...

While the New Year stands for new beginnings, resolutions, and clean slates, it's also a chance to look back at 2012... a fascinating year. From the eyepopping athleticism of the Summer Olympics in London and the drama of the U.S. Presidential Election to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy and the wildfires that ravaged Colorado, there was no lack of engaging photography in 2012. I browsed...
