dealing with vagaries

I would love to shake hands with whomever invented the line.  Point A to Point B – a restful tension, sharpstraightgeometry.

Underwater but on land.  Above Singapore but below the surface.

Just landed in Singapore for a few days to do a couple of talks for The National Geographic Channel. Made the jumps from LEX/DCA/IAD/LHR/SIN in one long, transcontinental streak, but at some point over the Smoky Mountains shot this image on the pocketable iPhone. I like the pixelation – in fact, it’s given me an idea for a new essay…

My buddy Holly Miller and I shot and edited these visuals to her song “Lazy Love” last week in pretty much one marathon session.

Music and on-camera appearance by Holly, visuals by Jeff (Canon 5D Mark II).

If you happen by a bookstore take a peek at this feature in the May/June 2010 issue of Audubon Magazine on an image I shot while working on CNN’s Planet in Peril.

Jonathan Blaustein interviewed me for an essay on the colliding worlds of print/tv/web in this issue of Fraction Magazine.

“…A photograph should stand alone. The aesthetics of the image and the way the work is labeled shouldn’t have to change based on the context in which it’s going to be displayed.”
