From the Visual Research Dept.: Right now (through August 30th) the Neue Galerie in New York is showing the work of Otto Dix. His portrait of Laryngologist Dr. Mayer-Hermann from 1926 is a favorite of mine and always reminds me of August Sander’s image of the baker, another masterpiece of that era.

Whenever I’m getting ready to go on a well deserved vacation, I struggle with the same question that has tormented photographers for thousands of years: Should I bring the lights? And the right answer is: Yes. I was traveling in Puerto Rico, driving through the El Yunque rainforest when I came to this beautiful spot. [...]

One of the bigger photographic challenges that I’ve had to deal with on a regular basis is the corporate office. I’ve had my fair share of portrait jobs involving people from the worlds of finance, academia or management and a solid majority of them work in a place that can only be described as “visual [...]

This is a story about how inspiration can emerge out of the darkest circumstances. I was standing in line to pick up a package from the post office on 14th Street and Avenue A, feeling real sorry for myself. Why was I feeling that way? Well, you’re probably not from New York. Here, everybody knows, [...]

Not quite 3 years ago I decided it was time again for a cross country trip. I did my first major road trip in 1992 in a Pontiac Catalina Safari Station Wagon with 2 Nikons and plenty of Tri-X and it was such a great experience that I was itching to repeat it. I bought [...]
