I really dig that we're in a new era of photography where like minded shooters enjoy gathering to learn. I prefer to shoot photos rather than give classes or seminars, but I DO like to create these environments that allow photographers to experiment, socialize, and learn together.

Typically, the end of each year marks a time for celebration. In that spirit, each autumn our studio has an anniversary party where we celebrate with our clients, business friends and co-collaborators. It's an eclectic mix of about 600 people, from graffiti artists, restaurateurs, musicians, ad execs, city officials and the whole spectrum in between. Everyone lets their hair down and unwinds with the mission of having a darn good time. This year's event...

I wish I could just work with my eyes alone."-Richard AvedonI had some sushi this week with David DuChemin, author of the new book VisionMongers: Making a Life and a Living in Photography. David's a great guy--and one of the few photography authors writing today--that actually gets it. It's not about gear or gimmick or guise. It's about vision. Developing it and putting it to...
