I've always been a fan of photographic works by Andreas Gursky and others that are huge in scale and still maintain amazing detail. While Gursky is a living legend and none of us are approaching his sphere any time soon, there are a variety of more accessible approaches to creating massive images that maintain incredible details available to most of us As such I want to take a second to introduce Ben Pitt. Ben is...

Dance is a universal form of expression. The spontaneous or choreographed movement of a human body tells a story, reflects social commentary, can be a spiritual exercise...or just damn fun. (impromptu dance parties are encouraged in my family...) We are born with this understanding of movement. Babies dance when they hear music. Dance even transcends humanity - even animals dance. Suffice to say I've had a long love-affair with capturing human movement in still photography,...

Across the pond from me in Germany there is some stunning work getting kicked out of a little boutique firm called The Marmalade that you should know about. I'm drawn to more than just the final result...I love HOW they're acheiving it too... Behind the scenes thinking and such below. Have a great Monday.

"Black Friday - When people trample others for cheap products mere hours after being thankful for what they already have." So goes the popular meme making the rounds on the Web this time of the year. Black Friday is the proverbial train wreck. I'm mostly inclined against it, since holiday season isn't about consumerism, but I don't pretend to be outside it. I will walk the...

For my USA friends, tomorrow is our Thanksgiving holiday where we traditionally give thanks for all that we have in life: friends, family, individuality - whatever it might be to his or her own... And I love to invite our international friends to join us in this celebration. While I normally invoke a more serious tone for this holiday - one filled with true, humble, gratitude - today is all that, but I couldn't help...

If you come around these parts often you know that I have a keen interest in education. The fact is, in order to find success in a creative career or otherwise, learning what's most important and executing against it is critical. In short, if you want to kick-ass at your job, hobby, passion, life... you need to learn how to learn (see my homie Tim Ferriss'...

What: bike shot Why this angle: the air + the trail tells a good story. plus all those vertical lines kept the scene clean. Nice light too...looking up really "opened up" the image. Simplicity almost always wins - in this case it does. How: I laid under the jump and motor-drived the action at 9fps. we shot several attempts to ensure the rider was in the right spot relative to the rest of the scene...plus...

London photographer Roman Sakovich has hit a nerve - many nerves that is, including mine - with his recent portrait series titled "Half". Thru some simple but astute post production, Sakovich combines the two halves of a person...on the left 'before' addiction & abuse, and on the right, after, at full throttle. Certainly the studio photos have been enhanced, but the results don't waver. Simple photographs, compelling + robust narrative. Signs of good art. #Respect....
