When you get to set your own deadlines as a photographer you can revisit the same topic over and over again. Some might feel that’s repetitive but for me it’s an opportunity to dig deeper and find the nuance that I might have missed earlier. You might remember that last year I spent time documenting a [...]  In the spirit of full disclosure, here are some more links that will help you understand both my photography and my current project, The Europeans. Sometimes when you blog you assume once you’ve posted something everyone has seen it. Well of course that’s not true so I thought I’d post some links about me and my work… This time last year I was up to my neck in snow in New York City, dreaming of being back in sunny Barcelona. Snow bound and down. January 27th 2011. New York City. A year later here I am… And next year? I can honestly say I don’t know where I’ll be. And for me that’s the [...] Dreams happen quickly but realizing them takes much, much longer. Remember that as you continue down your own road. Remember how brave men and women throughout history have sought out the impossible and prevailed, most often after many failures…. If you haven’t listened to The Speech lately I highly recommend taking a moment to get yourself [...] It’s true I’m not a huge fan of parades. Growing up as a press photographer in New York City you cover a lot of parades and they all tend to suck. They come in two flavors: boiling hot (Puerto Rican Day Parade, Fourth of July for example) or blisteringly cold (I’m talking about you Thanksgiving [...] So how was your first week of 2012? For me it sure seemed a lot like 2011 I have to say.

Groundbreaking, Barcelona You know the drill. Or maybe you don’t. So here it is: the first ten folks to send me an email with their mailing address gets a limited edition (only [...] Sometimes I just can’t decide…. Good thing I don’t have to… Just like everyone else, sometimes I just want to make pretty pictures. Who cares if they are art or not? No matter how many photographs I take I still marvel that I can still be surprised by what light does. I guess that’s why I still take pictures. I like being surprised. Barcelona, December 2011 The end of the year is always a slow time. Hardly anyone emails, hardly anyone responds. I always think I’m going to use this week between Christmas and New Year’s to reflect and get some uninterrupted work done. But I rarely do. Barcelona, December 2011 If you celebrate Christmas I hope you had a good one. If you don’t I hope you had a good day off! Time after time I talk to people, especially photographers who know what their dream is but find excuses for not pursing it. They ask me for solutions. I tell them I have none. Coming up with answers is easier than you think. Coming up with reasons not to follow your heart is even [...] Sometimes we spend so much time looking forward and up we forget to look down… |
