Hi friends. Yes, it's true! I'm looking for a high quality, high hustle digital/content guru to join my team supporting my content efforts. Over the last couple years I've turned up the heat on my social content to bring value to this community - those already with us and those yet to join our army.

['Dasein' is a German word used by philosophers to refer to raw human experience or the fundamental mode of "being there." I found that when applied to photography, the snapshot was the ultimate photographic expression of... read more ›

I'm a huge fan of the concept of "strategic renewal." Chasing shiny opportunities, working in a reactive state and dealing with each new email that pops up on your phone is not only exhausting - it's a way to ensure you get nothing done - and it's simply not sustainable. "Busy" isn't success. It's a lack of priority. I've been paying attention to those who have command of their time...systems that bring sanity and purpose... read more ›

There are two types of photographers who impress the hell out of me. One is the wartime photojournalist, who puts his or her life on line to document real stories and images behind the world's most dangerous conflicts. [I've written about it before -- Would You Die for a Photo?]. Without their work, truths get lost, and the stakes are as high as they can get. The other is the extreme photographer. I'm not talking... read more ›

Here are 7 habits that I use to help my creativity: 1. Get into adventures. Instead of saying no, say yes. Whether it's agreeing going to the South China Sea or to Sundance festival or the grocery store. 2. Devour popular culture. Examine the work of other artists, movies, books, magazines, the interwebs. 3. Take pictures of things. I photograph things I see in the world that inspire me and use them for reference. 4.... read more ›
