I pretty much hate flying. Not the actual being in the plane part, but dealing with all the insane bullshit of the airlines. I know this is a common complaint, but this last year has been really epic with delays, cancelations, surly flight attendants, insane passengers and confused, incompetent security.
Like a lot of working photographers I carry on [...]
So world cup is over. Flying home in the morning. The Ironmen won. I saw a lot of people. I shot a lot. I’ll be editing all week.
Oliver Lang, Los Angeles Ironmen, Winners 2008 PSP World Cup
I’m down in Orlando at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex photographing the 2008 PSP World Cup. This is the 6th one of these I’ve photographed, the first being in ‘99, it’s striking how the same it is.

Hadn’t been to a Bresson exhibit in about 10 years (since the Tet-a-tet and Portrait exhibits in London) and I had almost forgotten how moving it is to look at an actual print of his, not just reproductions in books.
Inspired me to [...]
First round of pulls are done on Shot in the Face, my long planned, long talked about book about the six years I spent working at P8NT Magazine. Been recovering the digital archive from the magazine (all of which was burned onto CD’s when the magazine went under) and am about to start trying to [...]
Did a shoot for 4 Star Courier Collective over the weekend. Been working on editing them down for use on their site (which I did as well).
Also edited down portraits from this years North American Cycle Courier Championship for COG. These should be appearing in the next issue.
Also did some work for Mother Jones Magazine [...]
