(Listen while lookin’: Colour - “Over the Moon” from their posthumous release Anthology)
A few weeks ago I went out with some friends walking around Downtown L.A. on a Thursday night. I brought the Canonet with a flash on an off-camera cord. I flashed random people on the street I thought looked interesting. I [...]

Getty Images wants you « Flickr Blog.
So, Getty Images is no longer reaching into the Flickrverse to anoint a chosen few golden photographers of light. Now they are actively soliciting submissions. Great!  Just great.  Don’t you see what this means?  Before this, I could blame my obscurity on the fact that they just hand’t run [...]
