Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven [...]

A Conversation With Barack Obama
I post this because the image, taken by Peter Yang, shows Obama sitting at a couple of (15″?) MacBook Pros.
Now, if he’s got files and folders on his desktop arranged like a penis we’re trouble. Oh, right, that was a windows machine. Whew, no Mac users keep that many files and [...]

Emily and Dan’s wedding pictures
They were shot by The Wiebners, a professional photography husband and wife team (I think although I can’t really tell). The images are fantastic, there’s a lot to learn from this set.

Kent, Connecticut. In photographing my friend Joy Brown’s studio, I caught a small reclining figure, two large pods, and without knowing it, three photographs in the upper right hand corner of this frame.
Those photographs were shot and printed by me of my own ceramic work for my MFA show at the University of Oregon in [...]

Kent, Connecticut. Another view of two of Joy Brown’s ceramic sculptures. The pod is a large, hollow ball that joins dozens that Joy has made over the years. These are environmental sculptures that one can place out on a lawn or in a garden and move around experimenting with various configurations.
Joy’s figures, while not explicitly [...]

Kent, Connecticut. I was over at my friend Joy Brown’s studio today doing a bit of documentary photography for her. I’ve been doing portfolio, gallery, and magazine illustration photography for Joy for a few years now and it’s always a pleasure to work with her. She’s a world class artist and a great person and [...]

New York City, 1952. Walter Richard Wanderman, Richard Samuel Wanderman. My father is about thirty seven here, I’m six months.
My father died in 2000, just before the tech bubble burst, George W. Bush stole the White House, and 9/11 happened. He was 84. Had he not died in 2000 any one of these events would [...]

The Big Picture has yet another incredible collection: Faces of Sudan.
Note to photographers: check the light on the second image (and others like it). Lots to be learned from these images. Never be disapointed in a cloudy sky, especially when there is sun out illuminating your subject. It’s the perfect setup for subject isolation, even [...]
