Moscow, the roof view
Call me unworldly but I continue to get a charge out of contemporary views of different places in the world. I’m not talking National Geographic or professional photojournalism here, just great shots taken by a variety of people.

The Big Picture: Storm-battered Yemen.
Absolutely incredible photography of one of the poorest countries in the world that just got wiped out by heavy storms. The architecture is wonderful, what a shame it’s been battered so badly.

Los Angeles, California. There was some nice light and bokeh behind my glass of Sierra at the Getty Restaurant so the camera had to come out.

The main entrance to the Getty galleries is a wonderful, [...]

Hovis Bread TV Commercial
This video has been making the rounds and for good reason, it’s great. And, there’s lots to be learned even for us still photographers in the ad. Each scene is beautifully set up and choreographed, keeping the focus on the boy and the bread but showing the context, less to show how [...]
