The Wall Street Journal just sent over a link to their 2009 Pictures of the Year. It was a real pleasant surprise to find that Matt Eich and I have work featured in the slideshow along with a couple folks from our friends at MJR –Mustafah Abdulaziz and Brandon Thibodeaux (Mustafah’s hyper-layered stuff is among my [...]

Friday, Aimless
Friday, aimless. Like how flying in a plane can sometimes divide a day into two or three parts, a 24 hour span that feels more like several independent days, the way your brain adopts one archetype, one city, one type of weather, the sounds, the smells, the culture and then, before you know it, you’re [...]

Foreign Odds and Ends
Been keeping a running tab of foreign tearsheets over the last few weeks. Der Frietag Germany, Diário de Noticias Portugal, NEON Magazine Germany, and The National Magazine in Abu Dhabi. Seems like the most popular images are from a portrait session that I did in March for Newsweek with former GITMO guard, Terry Holdbrooks. Holdbrooks [...]

The Year in Pictures
It is so hard to boil a year down to a handful of photographs. In a way your selection defines how you view your artistic trajectory as well as the events you witnessed within that period of time. 2009 was an incredible year, full of highs and lows, a lot of lessons and more beautiful [...]

2009: Year in Photos
I arrived in Vietnam in March of 2008. I photographed everything. I had projects in which I chose to work on but overall I was fairly unfocused. This year was my first full year in Vietnam and I was determined to find my purpose. In the process I found a common theme in my work [...]

The Year in Pictures
The strangest thing about narrowing down a year’s worth of pictures is the act of dissociating the image from the edit that it came from. For some reason, over the last couple of years, I’ve come to look at individual photographs as though they were words in a bigger sentence and not self-contained novels. Not [...]

The Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar
Each year since I was a freshman in college I have made the journey down to Atlanta, Georgia for the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar. While early on I was intent on catching every speaker and trying to get my portfolio reviewed, it has turned into more of a reunion for long-lost friends. This year I got [...]
