6×6 is the blog of editorial and commercial photographer Tait Simpson. Brooklyn, New York creating artistic environmental portraits and landscape images.
I thought I’d share a few images from my recent trip to LA. I was out for Review LA, to visit with a few ad agencies and also catch up with some old friends. I dropped by Photo LA as well, browsing the latest offerings from a number of local and international galleries. [...]
Mr Ryan McGinley has shot a photo feature for the NY times Magazine of 2010 Winter Olympians and a pitch perfect short film called The Lightness of Being an Olympian, which you shouldn’t miss. I like the inclusion of Rodarte, but the stills are something of an odd mix. On the one hand [...]
It’s a new year and time to get back on the proverbial blogging horse. So for my first post here in 2010 I’ve got some cool news – I’m heading back to California tomorrow for a fun filled photo week. This weekend I’ll be visiting Photo LA, the annual contemporary photography fair in [...]

I recently picked up the new Philip Gefter book of essays (thanks Britt and Peter!) called Photography After Frank, not only because it has got a fantastic image by Ryan McGinley on the cover, but it also seemed like it would make for an enlightening counterpoint to the other summer reading I’ve got going on [...]

Last night at the Aperture gallery, JL books hosted an opening night party for three of their new releases by Corin Hewitt, Bertrand Fleuret and Michael Schmelling. Corin Hewitt was present, working on a still-life-photography-as-performance-art projected to the sounds of ambient techno! It felt kind of like an art rave or something. [...]
The New York Photo Festival closed Sunday, surviving with little surprise and a few gems tucked away amongst quite a lot of work that I must say I just didn’t care that much for. It is only the second year of the festival and so it is not surprising that there were a few [...]
Everyone is all excited about the New York Photo Festival occurring this weekend in DUMBO and so am I. I’ll be down there tomorrow to walk through the exhibits and sit in on a panel discussion about the relevance of blogging in the photographic community. However, it is also worth noting that opening [...]
Dark Night of the Soul is a album/book/art exhibition (probably best to just call it a multimedia experience) featuring the musical collaboration of Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse with still images contributed by none other than David Lynch.
