Every so often I take a stroll through the archives, combing for images that help me remember who I am as a photojournalist. It’s like taking a walk through your own garden. You are captivated by the specimens that have grown with [...]

Heaven sent, there are so many great comments on photography and life these last few days. As I juggle multiple personal commitments at the moment, please enjoy.

Via Mark Edelson, who finally let the cat out of the bag.
Just make sure to write-in “Erik Lunsford” for president.

The summer nights fade into fall, the days have gone to the dogs for a last minute swim before the park pools close. The golden leaf wreath hangs again on the door. The red geranium refuses to stop blooming before the seasonal cold sets in. Welcome fall, I’m glad you’re here.
I haven’t had the inclination to post lately, whether it is a photograph, a piece of literature, or even my thoughts since last week. Why?
I’m upset.

I lost one of my favorite champions of photography. He is a friend, a mentor; was a coworker. He is one I sought to work with even before [...]
Yes, I’ll take a large helping of content with tweets on the side, please.

I believe this pain coincides with my receding hairline and the general progression towards “middle-aged.” Plus, my loveable Domke is basically coming apart thread by thread so it’s time to look for a replacement. The [...]
My friend Max Bittle and I had a good conversation today about vision and the obstacles we face in our daily work that keep us from celebrating our own visual styles — the “look” — that we try so hard to evolve everyday. Max asked me to critique a recent edit, and we talked about [...]
