Nemo Timelapse from jere7my tho?rpe on Vimeo. Pounded with as much as three feet of snow on Friday and Saturday, the Northeast, and especially New England, USA was basically buried by the storm called NEMO. The region's residents are still digging out, navigating roads lined by tall walls of snow, dealing with school closures and power outages. But for photographers - these storms bring rare opportunity. The internet has been alive with Nemo shots for... read more ›

How does that song go? "I believe the children are our future." While it's an obvious statement, apparently photographer Danny Goldfield shares this same sentiment. Over a period of seven years, he dedicated his work to photographing a child from every country... except he did it at all right on the streets of New York City. The work is not only a journey into the faces of... read more ›

There's one thing about classical music that I've always believed: it is far better to see it performed than to hear a recording of it. While this is true for just about all kinds of music, the multi-layered nature of classical compositions (especially pieces that call for large orchestras) make it even more suited than normal for in-person performance. And when those performances take place in public, the experience is all the more radical. Breaking... read more ›

You're going to think I've lost my mind. But since I'm told the internet is made of cats...I couldn't resist this one. Whatever you want to say about pet photos (I'm usually on the front lines of vigorous head-shaking when it comes to this well-known and over-saturated genre) this series of "cat photos" stopped me in my tracks.

If you take photos for a living - or simply love the craft - you are probably like me in that you've spent more of your hard earned dough on cameras and photographic gadgetry than the average Joe. But would you be willing to pay 2 million dollars for a camera? That's a whole new level of love for the magic light-box. I'm referring to David Douglas Duncan's Leica... read more ›

Dance is a universal form of expression. The spontaneous or choreographed movement of a human body tells a story, reflects social commentary, can be a spiritual exercise...or just damn fun. (impromptu dance parties are encouraged in my family...) We are born with this understanding of movement. Babies dance when they hear music. Dance even transcends humanity - even animals dance. Suffice to say I've had a long love-affair with capturing human movement in still photography,... read more ›

The zombie phenomenon has slowly gathered steam over the last few decades, culminating in hundreds of movies, comic books, and TV shows. The fanatical zombie fanbase produces a staggering amount of content every year - fan fiction, films, web series... and photographs. "Zombies" are an ideal subject matter for the exploratory photographer: they present colors and scenarios not necessarily experienced on a normal photoshoot.... read more ›

Freckles on skin. The beauty of a clavicle, jutting through fragile epidermis. Long fingers clasped together. Skinned knees. Natural light, wafting across delicate features. The pure gorgeous intensity of being human - and Eric Rose somehow manages to catch them all with one well composed black and white photo. His photos have a sort of gritty dreaminess to them - you can't help but wonder about the eyes that peer back at you, the situation... read more ›
