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.

There’s a certain essence of raw finesse in Rebecca Rijsdijk’s collection, Plant People, on display at I Heart Photograph and her website portfolio. It seems in an industry deluged with heavy post-production and complex setups, Rebecca’s photographs have a staggeringly simple attention to form, content, and lighting. Her collection concept “my branches are not what [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

I’m a complete space junkie. If it lifts off, splashes down, glides in, orbits, docks, I love it. Now I love Mr. Colberg even more after he published a link to the Project Apollo Archive, an expansive project of unedited scans and complete Hasselblad magazines prepared by Kipp Teague from [...]
At the end of our summer LUXE fashion book shoot and with a half-day left on our model’s paid time, my editor tasked me with the Fall fashion preview. We only had a few hours to illustrate six completely different outfits. That doesn’t sound like much, but when you crimp and curl and do makeup [...]
Hopeless romantic and former National Geographic intern Casey Templeton just published a captivating and engrossing essay on pigeon racing culture in Florida and New York.
All photographs from Pigeon Culture are Copyright Casey Templeton.
The former CPOY Templeton spent a considerable amount of time researching and shooting this story. He also compiled good audio interviews which [...]

Your heart’s desire
The summer project, part of my Four Seasons series at the Post, came to fruition early this week. This is the second installation following Spring’s awakenings in April.
For this project, my intent was finding photographs that carried a very definitive visual style. [...]
21 year-old WKU Junior Carl Kiilsgaard is working on a rather intensive project documenting the life of an impoverished family in rural Kentucky. Having met Carl when he interned at the Palm Beach Post, I have had the humbling opportunity to watch him grow as a photographer. Carl sent several folders of images for consideration, [...]
In fourteen seconds, a police pursuit spanning two states and a bank robbery passes by the eyes. It’s quite a sight for someone who has never actually photographed the actual chase part. Usually it ends up with poor access and action long over. Upon closer look, you can see over the course of multiple images [...]
