OneQuestion: Brian Matiash
I’m so sad, the first week of OneQuestion is at its conclusion! But what a way to finish. Last, but definitely not least…well, maybe kind of least, or more in the middle, or whatever, my good friend Brian Matiash (who knows I kid, it’s our thing) was kind of enough to drop this friggin’ awesome road shot on us today and answer the question I posed to everyone. Brian is an amazing guy, an amazing photographer and I owe him a lot for where I am right now. And before we get to Brian’s answer, I just want to thank [...]
OneQuestion: Jesse Pafundi
We’ve arrived at Thursday and Jesse Pafundi for my OneQuestion guest blog series. Jesse is a kindred spirit to me and we’ve had tons of conversations about how we change as photographers. Both he and I have been on a similar journey since the beginning of the year (or around there). Realizing what we love, who we are and being comfortable with our own styles and passions. Jesse’s photography has changed so much this year and it’s been inspiring and beautiful to watch. Visit his newly updated website (and name), check out his Rome pictures (or anything really) and follow [...]
OneQuestion: Gina Meola
The OneQuestion guest series continues today with one of my favorite photographers in the Phoenix area, Gina Meola. The first time we were introduced was at one of our First Friday events down at New City Studio. She hugged me instead of shaking my hand. I was surprised because no one has ever really hugged me the second they met me, but that’s Gina. She’s a hugger. Her smile and laugh are infectious. And she’s passionate about what she does. I am so blessed to have her guest blog for me this week. And stay tuned, I believe she’s presenting [...]
OneQuestion: Scott Ackerman
Next up in my OneQuestion guest blog series is Scott Ackerman, my stormchasing buddy from Kansas. You knew I had to include a weather guy, I mean, come on! I love his work, I’ve seen some great strides in his processing and composition in recent months and I’ve been blown away by the images he’s taken. I mean, look at this giant thunderstorm in the photo above (click on it to enjoy the visual with a nice, dark border), with gorgeous light on the anvil and lightning exploding on the horizon. LOVE IT. And without further ado…ScottyAck. What do you [...]
OneQuestion: Michael Murphy
(This begins the first ever OneQuestion series of guest blog posts by photographers I asked to participate. I want to thank all five of them that you’ll meet this week for helping me out and letting me take a breather from all the blogging and such. But mostly I want them to know how much I appreciate the awesome answers and the depths at which they talk about how much they love what they do.) First up is Michael Murphy, a photographer from London who creates some stunning images that I’m constantly blown-away by. He’s one of those “urban explorers” [...]
Introducing: OneQuestion
I’ve been wanting to do a guest blog series on my site for a long time, but I wanted to do something unique and different. Leave it to my wife to think of something simple that totally works. Part of the reason why I was interested in guest series was to take a week off from blogging. I didn’t want to leave the place empty while I was gone, so what better way to take a vacation than to have a few people “house sit” for me. My wife said why not just have them answer a single question? Brilliant. [...]
