Richmond showed up this weekend. We’ve got to hold our leaders accountable—applaud them when they get it right, and hit the streets when they don’t. But protest is just one part of the work. If you were out there—or even if you wanted to be—don’t let it end with the...

We made a post last week when sword and sorcery illustrator Frank Frazetta passed away. Little did I know that local photographer Kim Frost was working on something that pulls inspiration from his pieces. There is an interesting story here about the models. They are married, muscled up vegans that met while playing World Of Warcraft, and these...

The work is on exhibit in Laurence Miller's Gallery, and Halsman's work is featured in The Smithsonian Magazine, as well, who had this to say: Jump was born in 1952, Halsman said, after an arduous session photographing the Ford automobile family to...
I found Ryan's work via Rachel Hulin's photography blog. This series, aptly named photographs, caught me as out of the ordinary. Elsewhere on his site are more typical, sterile nude photographs, black and white works that while technically proficient and demonstrating an advanced grasp of studio light, these works pale in comparison to the color...
Last night was crazy. We had over 1200+ officially attend our throwdown at The Hat Factory and next week should be the biggest one yet. See you there. Last night was crazy.

Ian A. Adams has a snapshot-style of photography that belies his studio experiences. His work is definitely not casual, no matter how lazy the subject matter may seem; he finds tension in situations, capturing moments that tell the middle of a story. GRAY DAYS Ian A.
