A quick pic of Joey Piazza in Brooklyn from a few weeks back.

Been digging Tristan Afre’s blog on The Come Up and couldn’t pass up posting this interview with the great Henri Cartier-Bresson. Go spend some time on Tristan’s blog and make sure to set aside an hour to watch this interview solely on the fact that you can never get too much Cartier-Bresson… Just listen to how Avedon praises him in the into. Amazing.

The Atlantic has a great photo story about deserted and abandoned places around the work.

Photographer Douglas Taylor has updated his portfolio with some great new work documenting his final year at university. Check it out here.

Really digging the navigation of this site and love the treatment to the photographs. This is an amazing way to present editorial content in a browser and even with the influence that you can see from print layouts, it is very well though out and enjoyable to use. I’m definitely tired of the people who just try to design a traditional print magazine layout and throw it online, thinking they are creating a online magazine… Seeing this layout and the quality of content is a breath of fresh air and actually gets me excited for the future of “online magazines”.

The Atlantic has an amazing three part series (part 1, part 2, part 3) showcasing the photographs of the civil war. It’s pretty incredible how crisp and clear some of these images are, keeping in mind that they were taken 150 years ago.

One day I hope to get my hands on Robert Frank’s book, The Americans, but for now, I’m just going to have to settle for admiring Franks work online.

“There are few single works of art that have changed the direction of their medium. In 1959, one book dramatically altered how photographers looked through their viewfinders and the way Americans saw themselves.”

Check out an interview with photographer Juergen Teller on Nowness. And if you missed it, check out the LED snowboarder video that made it’s rounds all over the internet last week.

I get a little OCD when it comes to organizing my inspiration folders and all the random images that end up on my desktop. I have all sorts of categorized folders that I file everything into and one of the folders that gets pretty crazy is my “photographers” folder. Rather than just keeping them on my computer, I thought I’d start uploading some of them. These posts won’t be much different than a standard post on a photographer, but the photographers who I have a lot of images from are usually the bigger, more established guys.

This post is a collection of images from one of my all time favorites, Peter Lindbergh. I’ve always been so drawn to his more photo-journalist perspective and I love how he shows elements of the set in his photos, like lights, stands, backdrops, etc. Not only am I drawn to the style of his photos, but the impact he has had on fashion, being credited as one of the photographers to really blow up the whole “supermodel” thing in the 90′s.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on a photographer, but I’m back at it, kicking it off with photographer Jeff Burton, who is known for his fashion work, along with his back-stage porn photos.

I’ve followed Kai Kuusisto on Flickr for a while, so I’m not sure what took me so long to post his stuff. However, the above photo prompted me to change all that.

Check out Kai’s site HERE, which has a good mix of stuff. Follow him on Flickr too.

“I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”

This quote has always stuck with me, and my desire to see the world. What better way to experience it with your friends. We had one destination, and that was Vegas for Interbike, after that; is was to hit up as many spots on the way back along I-70, but with sleeping navigators, we missed our exit and ended up in Salt lake city, that turned out to be the best part of the trip! We ventured through Wyoming, and back down the edge of Colorado.

We all lost a lot of things on this trip, SLEEP, money(C-L0), phone chargers, track of time, and our minds. Just something funny about road trips, that all of the bad things that happen along the way seem to disappear once it’s all said and done, but the good times make you laugh any time you think about them.

I’ve been a fan of Jean Paul Goude for years, but just spent some time over the weekend, digging through his site again… and I thought I’d post a bunch of the images that I saved. Keep reading to check them out and make sure to brush up on your Jean Paul Goude via his site or the documentary (basically just a three part montage of his work) that you can find on youtube, So Far So Goude.

Walter Pieringer is awesome. I love his photo style, and he backflips mega-ramps. What else can you say?

His personal website has just been re-done, which you can check out HERE. Be sure to look through all the collections in the “projects” section. Good stuff.

Chris Hill-Scott, along with Alex Boyd, Adam Butterworth, Ross Dummet, Ben Hastings, Luke Peeters, Ryan Picton, Dario Serra, Brad Wakefield and Mike Westlake road tripped through the states from May 19th–June 5th of this year, which took them from San Fran to Texas.
