I had a photo published in a book. 210 Photographers 1×2 ~ click on the book to order. The photography inside is amazing. I’m honored to be surrounded by such great work. The printing is wonderful!

I don’t submit my work for silly contests. Yet, just about every single contest out there, I’m talking with jurors and such, sends me about 2 emails a day to give them money so that some bonehead who thinks he or she knows everything about photography can say whether or not my piece of art is up to par. Some of these contests cost $75.00 to enter! I wonder how many unsuspecting artists souls are being devoured by sending off a check… and then some of the contests do a rights grab afterwards! So, you are basically paying them to use your work. I want to know what the house looks like of the founder of these awards. I bet after receiving all this cash it’s a nice posh ranch house in Bel Air. I also bet (after seeing some of the names of the contest winners) that these “contest winners” were planned before the contest even started. They get a few well known photographers ask them to be in the contest and give them the prize so that that photographer’s name lends them credibility, then they can continue to mooch off artists in order to keep their lights on. Vampires.
And to go through all the contests out there, and if you check to see who has won the contests you start to see some very familiar names over and over again in each contest. That’s really not a coincidence.
When did things get so depressing? This isn’t the way artists should be treated. I literally get 10 different contests who email me regularly – The International Color Awards are seriously on my last nerve! An email a day from them!! International Color Awards! You aren’t getting my money, and I don’t shoot color.
End rant.

Before you go on a trip, especially one that won’t allow you to rent gear, you need a check list. A packing list, and a bag that you can carry on the plane. Checking your gear and trusting airport baggage with expensive equipment is a bit foolhardy. If only I could Fed-Ex it all so it arrived before me. But I don’t even trust that. So – I thought I’d let you all into my ritual of organizing before a photo excursion by posting my check list.

I’m debating on taking my Speed Graphic 4×5. I know I’ll want it at some point but the terrain is going to be rugged and traveling light seems like that will give me the most freedom. Not only would I have to tote the 4×5 around but boxes of Type 55 too. So it’s not sounding too adventurous at the moment. Thinking about renting something while I’m there for a day so …
Yeah – I kind of have to shoot 4×5 – at least one day. Even though it will be insanely cumbersome, it will probably be worth it.
I have a few days yet, trying to think of more crap I can fit into a carryon seems exhausting. If only I just needed clothing.
For those wondering what the prize is going to be… I’ve decided to give whoever guesses where I am 2 movies I made to music of my photography mailed to you.

I’m going to the end of the earth and to a World Heritage Site to make photographs. I really am getting excited about this trip. I hope there won’t be too many big snakes! But I fear they will be hard to escape… crossing the date line… crossing the equator… and going underwater! I shall post travel snaps with my iPhone here every day, as long as I’m able to find an internet connection. If you are the first to guess where I am, I will send you a prize!
This is where I was today. But I haven’t left yet, so I say it’s Malibu!

Jessamyn – the awesome model featured as you log on is featured in these Triptychs. She’s an amazing New York model, an artist in her own right and super fun to be around. I have quite a few more images that I will be posting in my photography gallery soon.
These were taken with a Speed Graphic 4×5 Camera and Polaroid Type 55. I still have two cases left!
