There's a magical impermanence to Simon Beck's "Snow Art," like low tide beach sculptures or Buddhist sand mandalas. Created using snowshoes and precise orienteering, these snow crop circles -- which average 10 hours of focused, measured walking to complete -- last only as long as the conditions favor them. A stiff breeze, a new snow or a sudden thaw and it's tabula rasa, all over again. As yourself if you have the love-of-what-you-do, desire, and...

As a creative you likely already have your 'go-to' sources for visual inspiration. There's certainly no shortage of them; from 500px.com to the Atlantic's In Focus blog, the internet is a massive library of outstanding eye candy. And, like any good library, there are always hidden gems down less-frequented aisles. Here are 5 sources that are a bit off the beaten path - but worth the trip. This Isn't Happiness (NSFW) [caption id="attachment_18033" align="alignnone" width="620" caption="This...

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...

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...

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...

It may be pine trees, stockings, eggnog and carols where I'm at in the 'States, but here's a look at some seasonal partying elsewhere in the world. Ice swimming, road races, and...it turns out...even KFC. Serbia, Thailand, Japan and the West Bank represent. Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate and wherever you are....

It's that time of year. The holiday hustle. We're all trying to squeeze everything in. If you can pull yourself away from work, shopping, traveling or whatever it is you're doing today - here's a casual 20 behind-the-scenes shots from my recent work in Monaco for you to peruse on a Friday. I'll share some of the final campaign images in 2013...some epic stuff... BTW, Monaco is a truly extraordinary location. Included below are a...
