Buck Skin Shirt

When I asked this guy his name after getting some photos of him, he asked:
"You took a picture of me in my buck skin shirt?!"

It was awesome!

Future of Newspapers

Kirk has a pretty interesting post about the future of newspapers, which looks awfully bleak. Likely accurate, but bleak. I'm interested in what direction the industry will move in order to provide a reliable product, yet remain in the black fiscally. If this is even possible. What will the truly tenacious journalists do to continue working in their filed? A time of change and opportunity is at hand.

Arnaud Gregori emailed a while back to inform me about a project he has been working on called 52 Editions. The site, which is now live, will offer a limited edition print from a different photographer each week. 8x10 editions of 275 will be available for $45, making art affordable for just about anyone. The first edition comes to you from Paul Adams. Give this project a look (here).

Stuart Pilkington has his newest project off the ground and running. The 50 States Project is:

"The 50 States Project has brought together 50 photographers from across the USA.

Each photographer lives in one of the 50 States and during the year long project each photographer will represent the State where they live. Every two months each photographer will be sent an assignment by e-mail, they then have two months to produce one image in response. The images must represent both their style and the State in which they live."


The first assignment "people" seems to have been a success. This should be a great project and I encourage all of you to follow it throughout the year.

Furthermore,

A recent post I made about limited edition prints available has had little return. I am now asking for your support with this. As many of you know, I am part of the project Pause, to Begin. The fifteen photographers involved in the project, including myself, have recently shown their work in Rochester, NY. I was not able to make it, but it was a success according to those who did. Furthermore, I had a little trouble providing prints for the last show with short notice and the holidays on us at the time. But, with the help of David Wright, we made it happen. Now, there is another exhibit in the works and that is as much as I know at this point. I want to be more prepared. (Enter: Print Sale!)

With the purchase of a beautiful c-print, you will be helping an artist show his work properly and, if you'll recall, I will donate half of all proceeds to HREI and, of course, investing in a fine piece of artwork for your photographic collection.

I appreciate the knowledge, inspiration, and sense of community that I have experienced with the group of photographers around the country (and world) that I have come to know. I would like to thank you in advance for your support with this.

///I would also like to give a special thanks to Simon Ingall his purchase, the first, of "Moving Straw". It's on its way.///
