It’s been many years! If you are reading these words, there is a strong chance you have been following this blog for a while. Maybe some of you have been on this journey with me from the beginning, from my early travel and landscape photography. Others probably joined later when I posted my street photography [...]
It has been an unusual year, to say the least! Today, as this challenging year comes to an end, please allow me to share some personal thoughts and offer some hope of a better 2021. Few of you know that seventeen years ago, about this time of year, I spent six months fighting for my [...]
There have been many announcements on this blog lately and I promise I will soon return to my usual photographic ramblings. In the meantime, I would like to share one more piece of news. Steven Friedman, as co-editor, and I are launching a brand-new photography magazine called ELEMENTS. This new monthly magazine is dedicated to [...]
In my last article "Photography is Curation" I made a case for curating your work. I had many deep conversations with many photographers about this very subject.

In the last few years I’ve been lucky to work with many people around the world but the communication was mostly online. [...]
When you go on the internet and scroll through the feed you would think that Armageddon is coming. The 24/7 news hyperbole is in full swing and it’s so easy to get caught up in this end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it mentality. Doom and gloom preachers all get their five minutes to spread falsehoods and innuendoes. The demand is [...]

That’s nothing new in this industry, but I have to admit that the logic cited in this particular case is dangerously absent. You can probably guess which [...]
Never mind the daily drama on the news—you don’t need to look far to know that things are not going well. A glance at the daily headlines on major photo portals says it all. Don’t get me wrong. I am not a naïve person; in fact, I am quite pragmatic. Most photo-related websites that cater [...]
This year has been incredibly busy and eventful, and it’s continuing to be. Having said that one of the greatest privileges of what I do is to meet some of you in person. Some of the most lasting friendships I have developed over the years are with people I met on the Visual Poet Experience [...]
