i’m very excited to have Troy House on board today to delight us all with his photography insights. This man has shot the Snuggle bear, my friends. And he’s going to to tell us about it. Without further ado…
Interested in an MFA but can’t pursue one for any of a hundred rational reasons? Ride along with James Pomerantz as he completes his degree at SVA! James starts school today, and you can start with him, on his brand new blog, A Photo Student. (This image is by Philip-Lorca diCorcia. Odds are you’ll hear about him in grad school.)
This is the one in which Jamie Kripke wows me with his work, his blog, his mastery of the Camerabag iphone app, and his general cleverness. Come have a read.
OK, he’s not really here. But he Did use the interwebs to chat with us and tell us all sort of interesting tidbits about his blooming shooting career out in Oregon. Come on in, have a listen.
Blast from the past! I ran into Tait Simpson in my inbox the other day, and was very excited to hear his career updates. I’d previously chatted with Mr. Simpson last year on Earth Day about some work he made in the desert for TOTO High Efficiency toilets.
Folks! We’re pretty pleased over here today at APB headquarters, because we’ve finally nailed down an interview with a longtime favorite documentary photographer James Pomerantz. Not that Pomerantz was the hold-up, it was my extraordinary penchant for procrastination that was the problem. But I’ve had a Ritalin now, so off we go.
I’m coming out of the haze that was our (super)natural show week, and am so pleased to have worked with such wonderful people. Our little curatorial collective now has a real-ish website– check it out.
I became fascinated with Brad Elterman’s classic rock imagery (and amazing caption-writing) from the ’70s and ’80s at the inception of this blog, and was recently in touch with him about his current activities.
I featured Dustin Shum‘s image above months ago on Shoot the blog, after finding a wealth of interesting imagery from the Beijing Fotofest 2006.
Best ad I’ve seen in a long time.
UPDATE: I found some info on the agency that produced this ad– turns out it came from production company Paranoid and creative/directing collective The Vikings.
Here’s a Q&A I found with The Vikings, at creativity-online:
