The past couple years have been a whirlwind of new beginnings in my life. I got married, moved to California and have been in the process of forging a career in the film industry. All the while, photography has been by my side, teaching me more and more about who I am every time I [...]

The top photo is from the prolific Rafal Milach. After deciding he wouldn’t make it as a musician because he “didn’t have an ear for music,” he moved to photography. His work centers around Eastern Europe and Russia and covers such topics as taxidermy, military school and everyday Russian life. His blog is also worth [...]

Toby Old is an American photographer in every sense of the word. He has been taking pictures of American life for at least thirty years. From his amazing series on discos in New York to the beaches and carnivals so frequently seen in his American Moments work, his two and a quarter inch frame seems [...]

There are moments when things just seem to fall into place. You can be standing on a street corner and time seems to slow down. You watch things move as if you were directing them… It’s a rhythm, and the best photographer’s capture moments that evoke that same feeling. The work of  Vanessa Winship is a [...]

Kosuke Okahara is a photojournalist that covers stories from South America to Asia. I saw his work recently in PDFx12 Magazine, a free online magazine with issues comprised of a single photo essay and corresponding text. Okahara has done stories for PDFx12 covering stories such as drug smuggling in South America and self injury in Japan. The photo [...]

James Nachtwey has been documenting the effects of tuberculosis for many years. This essay, hosted at Burn Magazine, is an amazing 10-minute slideshow narrated by the photographer. Nachtwey says: “Despite the fact that tuberculosis afflicts a huge number of people it’s not on the radar screen in terms of public awareness. Normal tuberculosis, if diagnosed [...]

The world has it’s eye on Haiti. What happened in Port-Au-Prince and the surrounding cities has left untold amounts of people homeless, injured, hungry or, worst of all, dead . The latest report is saying the death toll could be up to nearly 200,000. It’s a disaster of unbelievable proportions. Some of the worlds best journalists and [...]

Some people say the key to good photography is access. If that’s the case, then Jeff Bridges should have no problem. His behind-the-scenes photographs, mostly made with his Widelux F8 panoramic camera, are some of the best I’ve seen. The photos above are taken from the gallery Making Iron Man and are among the many films [...]

There is no question that being a photographer/photojournalist is a long, uphill battle, especially with studies like this floating around. To add to the challenge, something like 5,500 photos are uploaded to flickr every minute. The term over-saturation just doesn’t quite explain the needle in a haystack challenge of producing and showing your work. Luckily [...]
