Iceland: Three Different Takes
The last couple of years there have been several photo projects on Iceland. It is no doubt an amazing and unique landscape and most of the projects have been quite inspirational. Nearly all of them you get a sense of the ruggedness one must have to live (or photograph) in such a harsh environment. A few photographers whose work really caught our eye are Kevin Cooley, Lauren Lancaster, and Justin Fantl.

Steve McCurry Interview on Minnesota Public Radio
The work of Steve McCurry hardly needs an introduction. His work seems especially relevant in today's climate, especially to me his pre-Soviet invasion images from Afghanistan.

Dont Miss This: Capture Brooklyn Exhibition 2010
According to the hosts:
New York City is indisputably the cultural capital of the world. In the 20th century, the nexus of relevant art was the island of Manhattan. But the 21st century has seen a definitive shift, making Brooklyn the new epicenter of literature, music, art, and photography.
Capture Brooklyn, a new initiative by the New York Photo Festival, is a juried exhibition of contemporary photography that seeks to capture the spirit and essence of Brooklyn, and to showcase the vitality of photography happening in the hottest part of New York right now!
Drawn from submissions received online through August 29, 2010, 80 photographs will be selected and exhibited at The powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The show's official opening will take place during this year's Dumbo Arts Festival (September 24-26), an event that draws over 150,000 visitors over 3 days - and will remain open until October 15, 2010.
It is our hope that Capture Brooklyn will not only serve to acknowledge and celebrate the fantastic photography happening in this borough, but also encourage and nurture the growth of Brooklyn's artistic renaissance.

Behind the Scenes at a Fashion Shoot with Los Angeles Times Photographer Kirk McKoy.
This is a really nice "behind the scenes" fashion shoot with Photographer Kirk McKoy. I spent a semester interning for the L.A. Times several years ago, and in my experience, Kirk was one of the most pleasant, helpful, and versatile Photographers that I have had the pleasure to work with.

Brilliant Videos by Photographer Dwight Eschliman
Wow, these three videos by Photographer Dwight Eschliman are very clever. The still images stand well on their own, and in each instance it had me guessing what was about to happen. Although primarily a still life photographer, these powerfully demonstrate the endless potential for creativity that the hybrid cameras have brought about. He really manages to make the transition seamless. In his own words, describing the transition into video:
As the world of photography evolves and emerging technologies expand the world of visual possibilities, developing video capabilities has become a priority in my studio. In the world of motion video, sports are typically shown with dynamic quick cuts. As a photographer, I love the static shot. I saw an opportunity to u...se the static camera angle to create films that are essentially animated stills. Each frame can stad alone.
