They're most often power nerds and people who do a job that's... read more ›

Update: January 19, 2013 It's been a year since Sarah Burke left us. Thinking of her and all she gave to us in life on this day. Sarah Burke would light up a room when she walked into it. Actually more than that, she lit up an entire sport, and was bound to light up the world in the forthcoming Olympics, before she succumbed to spine injuries sustained while training in Park City on January... read more ›

I normally don't post or link to my mainstream media coverage here on the blog--not necessarily because of the perceived horn tooting, but primarily because a lot of those articles are just sort of vapid, empty whitewashes with little depth and even less bite. That said, I was just featured in the December issue of Juxtapoz Magazine - one of my favorite art & culture mags, one that I actually buy when I see it... read more ›

NYC Photographer Jamie Livingston shot a Polaroid photo everyday for 6,000 days, or, roughly, 18 years. The first shot was of his girlfriend at the time on March 13, 1979. His last photo was on his deathbed, dying of cancer on October 25, 1997. And so I ask you, how strong is YOUR commitment to a creative life? Enough said.

This photo series "The Beauty of an Ugly Addiction" is Photographer Frieke Janssens’ response to nicotine addiction and new smoking laws. She asks, "does this ban treat adults like children who can’t willfully... read more ›
