Photographic Philosophy of Javier Arcenillas →
In a process of personal ethics, I reaffirm the concepts that hold my life´s philosophy in regards to photography. These are compromises wich on occasion come with the heavy burden of that which I live and show through the eyehole. Basic rules of conduct for a photographer: 1. Learn to look without the camera, it´s only a tool, don´t let it decide for you. 2. Experience without knowledge doesn´t...

Jared Hamilton: Understanding Eggleston  →
jaredhamilton: There are many mysteries in life and since the beginning of time, people have been trying to understand them.

Workshop High
After 10 days of labbieing (assisting) at WKU’s Mountain Workshops I definitely came home sick but the experience was totally worth it. Between the inspiration, new knowledge, life advice, seeing old friends and making new ones — I would do it all again in a heartbeat (though maybe I would use more hand sanitizer). It’s an incredible feeling to leave regular life behind for a week and simply live...

Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

“Get a good pair of walking shoes and…fall in love” - Abbas “Give it all you got for at least 5 years and then decide if you got what it takes. Too many great talents give up at the very beginning; the great black hole looming after the comfortable academy or university years is the number one killer of future talent.” - Carl De Keyzer “My advice: “Photograph who you...

Kudos to the Herald for dealing with an important but sensitive issue front page and center. Suicide is not widely covered in newspapers for good reason, but how can we as a society address a very real issue if no one wants to talk about it? Proud of you guys.
