“Every photographer in all of history was a horrible photographer for some period of time. They learned, they grew, they had dark days, they persevered — that is the way of the artist.” -Zack Arias
Arias drives the mood swings of the creative process straight home in this narrative video. Spend some time contemplating his [...]

Citygarden, a new art and sculpture park in downtown St. Louis, opens its doors (or better yet, tears down the construction fences) for the first time. Having [...]
Stumbled upon the multimedia project We Are Sleeping Giants by Brooks Reynolds through Chase Jarvis’s blog. This is a splendid piece of creative and moody portraiture intertwined with a matching acoustical ballad by Everlea. In each of these photographs there seems to live a story that touches each one of us differently depending on our [...]

I have such a love/hate relationship with winter in St. Louis. Maybe the few years working in Florida warped my sense of seasonal regularity. See, I love [...]

With all of the change under way, it’s only fitting to try something new. A few days ago the Post-Dispatch purchased a set of Canon Powershot G10 [...]
The Houston Chronicle’s photography staff is doing an outstanding job covering the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, which came ashore at Galveston this weekend leaving a wake of destruction and thousands without homes or power. I’ve been watching their ongoing slideshows here, here, and here with aerials by Smiley N. Pool even before the storm made [...]
Got a question for you.
I’m trying to master layering — a pursuit I’m not particularly good at; a pursuit that is particularly difficult to master. The attempt here is to capture several elements in one background that communicates *bike race* in a small town. I found this cyclist from Germany just [...]

As part of my Summer project (which I’ll post tomorrow) I compiled a multimedia piece centering around the work of Pandora’s Matchbox, a St. Louis-based fire performance [...]
Photographer Jorgen Gulliksen, who I wrote up before on uncommons here, sent me a great link on WYNC’s street shots, featuring videos of a wide-range of talented photographers talking about their craft on the streets of New York. Make sure you set valuable time at work to check out the videos. Jorgen wrote it up [...]
John White turned me onto the work of Dave Hill awhile back, and today he swung by and tuned me into the behind-the-scenes video of Dave’s work, which, after checking out a few, is easily one of my new and favorite resources for on-location lighting, especially working with the larger White Lightning lights and the [...]
