6×6 is the blog of editorial and commercial photographer Tait Simpson. Brooklyn, New York creating artistic environmental portraits and landscape images.
I read this morning that a US state department official met with authorities in Cuba to discuss a number of small but significant issues between the two and apparently are making some small inroads into thawing the 50+ year icy relations. I think the most amusing of these gestures is that we’ve turned off a [...]
An image from the Snaefellsnes shoot in Iceland. It was the last image we shot and the first frame of the video project. More to come soon. Bjarndis’ Allegory of The Cave
It figures that while I’m out on location in the middle of nowhere the web host would inexplicably go down at a time when there is nothing I can do about it. Anyway, I’m back online again here (obviously) so I thought I’d share a couple of behind the scenes photos and an update from [...]
