William Gedney (1932-1989) never saw much attention for his photographs when he was alive. His work could best be described as American Documentary more than anything else. He spent years photographing in places like Kentucky, Kansas, California, New York and across the country’s farmlands. Duke University has created an amazing database of most of his [...]

I posted some new photos I took in the past month or two.

Haiti has been at the top of the news now for almost two weeks. Yesterday’s Hope-fest was the icing on the cake. As we sit back and soak up images and words about the struggles that Haitian people are endurring, it’s difficult for us to make sense of it all. Anyone that has scratched the [...]

Another great article by Johann Hari about how our culture of overwork is an outdated routine. It seems that the state of Utah has figured [...]

I’ve been having trouble with the archiving on here and am trying to sort things out. Actually thinking of moving everything over to a WordPress blog if I can’t get it fixed…

Honestly, I love everything about Lady Gaga, except her music. But the news that she will become Polaroid’s new “creative director and inventor of specialty products,” just seals the deal.
