back begs for mercy

Over time back pain creeps up after long days of schlepping those anvil Canon batteries around in a Domke bag. 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.

flacks, hacks, a blog

A Photo Editor thinks blogs are the way to finding good photographic talent uncommons…talent like Nick Knight, who does a tremendous job of thinking far outside the box. His 24HRS short films stemming from his 24 hour live broadcast fashion shoot in July [...]

role playing and cross dressing

Swamped with archiving and dodging metro, I wandered around the department looking to kill time when lab tech Tim Stepien told me that there was a class of high school journalists on their way upstairs to learn photography in the Post studio.  Judging quickly that having fun with students far outweighs watching the DVD burning [...]
