David Bram’s Fraction Magazine is hosting another holiday print sale, and I’m pleased to be a part of it again this year. I’ve put forth an older image from my first Iceland series in an edition of 20. Fence Post, Iceland (2007) There is a lot of interesting work over there at very affordable prices, [...]

Check out all the programs at the link above, but keep a special eye out for the happenings at the powerHouse gallery. My image, The Reader (below) will appear in the Capture Brooklyn show put [...]
It’s been rather quiet on the blog for the last few weeks and there is definitely good reason for it. First, I was out for a week on location in lovely muggy Columbus, Ohio which I found was quite a nice little city and great place to run if you are in to that sort [...]

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 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 [...]
The NY Times published an article yesterday about the Google Chrome project where illustrators were asked to provide original artwork for free to be used as skins or a facade for the new browser. It is not surprising and quite disturbing first that Google, a company that reported $1.4 billion dollars in profits in the [...]
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. Anyway, the real [...]
