Brian is a decade-long veteran shooter, with images to prove it. I meant to highlight his work immediately after he took Best in Show and People's Choice awards at the action-sports-focused "Pro Photographer Showdown" which went down in Whistler, BC a while back, but got a little sidetracked. Regardless, here is the work now. Above are some of my favorite from Brian's portfolio. Click through the image tabs above - the last one is Brian's...

Facebook dropped a photo app today that will definitely turn a few heads. The app is chock-full of the features iPhone photographers want: You can crop, rotate and add filters to any picture in your camera roll in app. If your Facebook use is all about photos this app could replace the regular Facebook app. It offers a “news feed” that exclusively shows pictures as its home page. Screen shots below. What do you guys...

Camera "concepts" are a dime a dozen. BUT...I always love it when smart designers take an idea we take for granted--like that consumer/pro-sumer camera made up of a singular body with various other moving parts--and totally shreds it. This is the case with numerous new/emerging manufactures at the moment...RED, GoPro, and even iPhone all fall into this category. I happen to love them all. There's...

Photographer Mark Meyers just wrote up a nice enough story aimed at driving awareness fear in professional photographers ... fear about the future of their career, their well-being, their jobs. Depicted in that article this image at left, which was completely generated by the author of the post using an emerging 3d modeling software called Blender. The quote that stands out from the article is this one: "If you are a photographer that makes...

Every so often, I discover or am reminded of tectonic shifts in photography that seem to be little-known by the exploding world of photographers. No harm, no foul; but in those cases, I feel feel a social + moral desire (obligation?) to occasionally point to these shifts. One such case is New York's Photo...

If you're primarily an on-location photographer or filmmaker, then you know how much value a great location can add to the shoot. So today I'm introducing another Series (ala the 'Emerging Talent' and others...) where I feature supercool locations around the world. Stuff I discover, stuff that other send me, places I'd love to shoot. Of course feel free to chime in, share, link, or otherwise contribute in...

The Beastie Boys wrangled punk rock and hip hop together like no-one before or since - they were a huge inspiration to me starting way back 1986 - the first concert where I can remember my ears ringing. It was also the first time I started to understand the concept of a remix, of genre collision, of the endless possibilities of invention and reinvention in art. MCA passed on today after a long...

Sometimes, however, what starts with a cool cellphone picture sent from a friend becomes an amazing, thought-provoking piece of photojournalism that probes the relationships between humans at the wild, humans and animals, and humans and each other. And I'm rarely stopped dead in my tracks when a photo crosses my field of view - but I was with these photos, with this body of work. Pieter Hugo's The Hyena and Other Men is a series...

IKEA may seem like nothing more than a necessary evil for those who don't wanna drop a full paycheck on a single piece of furniture (and hey, their pre-fab systems and some in-store displays are actually quite innovative...), but this here is some next level shiz: an eco-friendly, cardboard-bodied digital camera. Shoots/stores up to 40 images, uses AA batteries (which, if you can find them hiding in...
