This is why we start, this is why we keep doing it …, isn’t it?
In the moments when inspiration does not find our path, or when the jobs are scarce or the client complains too much … remember, it is all about the fun. Enjoy the moments when photography flows from inside …

Via Gallery Hopper, I found the newest work of the great Michael Kenna, a series of New York City that was exhibited at the Robert Mann Gallery (images here) in New York. It is wonderful to see the unique “Kenna” style, with dark shadows, high contrast and clean lines. His work [...]

I spent one day at Photo LA 2008 last weekend and I was immersed in a vast array of spectacular “printed” photographs.

As a part of his remarkable series of people “suspended in the air” [ see Sans titre and Hyper], Denis Darzacq has a very impressive set of images named “La Chute” (The Fall), where he uses street dancers to create the perception of people falling on to the streets. I have seen the [...]
