Hey Kids, I know, just what you wanted. A look at my fictional, perfect life inside a metal box careening around the West. I’m a firm believer it never happened until I see the book. And now there lives a … Read More
Create: Interview with Daniel Sigg
I am fortunate. I get to do a fair number of interviews. Heck, I’ll talk to anyone about anything but most of my audio adventures cover photography, print, creativity, etc. The usual suspects if you will. But I really enjoy … Read More
Create: Just Make One
Just make one. As in books. This film was made for professional photographers who watch this channel if there are any. Many of us were brought up in a photo-culture that made us believe there was one way to make … Read More
Create: Mic Warmington
Mic has been busy. You might remember another publication from him just a few short weeks ago. The pandemic means different things to different people. For me, more conference calls and spreadsheets than ever before, but far less creative work. … Read More
Create: Spanish Steps, Andrew Townsend
I run. Kinda. A lot of people run. And then you have people like Andrew Townsend who runs thousands of miles a year. I cycle thousands of miles a year but frankly can’t imagine running the same distance. Spanish Steps … Read More
Create: Zines, Balazs Fejes
If this set of Zines doesn’t make you want to edit, sequence, and create your own then I don’t know what to tell you. And another great name. Balazs Fejes. My parents were lame and went with a standard tag … Read More
Create: Learn by Seeing, Book Samples
I’ve given two talks over the past week and after completing the second I thought it might be worthwhile to share this presentation with a larger audience. I’ve made my share of books and magazines over the years, some say … Read More
Create: Print Q&A Episode 001
My life was ruined in the late 1980s when I watched my first silver print come alive in the Dektol. “Oh no,” I remember thinking. “Time for a right turn.” And turn I did, toward photography as my career, much … Read More
Create: TOMORROWLAND, Sebastian Schlueter
I have to start this with a little tough love. (It’s the same tough love you have heard me provide again and again.) If you look at what Sebastian Schlueter has done with his magazine/book “TOMORROWLAND” and you still find … Read More
Create: begin vol 2, Michael Napper
How many photographer/artists do I know who obsess over things like Argentinian cafes and Sony minidisc players? The answer? One. But THE one also happens to be one of the most talented people I know and I know a lot … Read More
Create: Blurb Wall Art
As you might already know, Blurb recently introduced wall art and part of my job was to test the system. (Same for everyone else at Blurb.) This was quite a fun time as it allowed for all groups to work … Read More
Create: Chris Lewtas in Print
Let’s all tip our hats to Chris Lewtas, someone I just met after he reached out to say “Hello.” Chris did what so many don’t. He went to print. Idea = action = critical thought = print. Well done. So … Read More
Create: The One
I was fortunate. I came up during a time in photography that involved the wet darkroom. The darkroom was about pace, commitment, and a dizzying array of potential techniques. The darkroom was a dance. Time, temperature, mixture, agitation, experimentation. And … Read More
Create: How to Make a Test Book
I’m sure there are people out there who are REALLY sick of me harping on about this idea. The idea of a test book. But here’s the flip side of that coin. Two more people reached out this week asking … Read More
Create: Print Don’t Lie
I should have known. I did know. But I didn’t want to know. YouTube is both a cool place and a terrifying little glimpse into the collective mindset of those who like to watch. I’m really glad I started making … Read More
Create: Jesse Levine
So I gave a talk. It was a captive audience. They were winners and I had a chance to talk at them. A small but potent group. Filmmakers, photographers, writers. You know, creative types. From the far reaches of the … Read More
Create: AG23 Zine, Issue One (Please cue the symphony.)
I’m terrified of this little object. You might think I’m kidding but I’m not. This is over a year in the making and I’m frankly a little scared of this thing. What on the surface might not look like a … Read More
Create: The Importance of Print
I was fortunate. I came up in photography during a slower time. There were real budgets, no Internet, no mobile phones smaller than a toaster oven and let us not forget the innocence of the pager. Print was the focal … Read More
