Look at the infographic. It's not a nice world out there. Just because you're sitting comfortably on your sofa or chat with a stranger from a dark corner of an Internet cafe it doesn't mean you don't have people looking at your screen from behind your back. Well, maybe not literally, but your use of the Internet makes you vulnerable to people who don't respect your privacy. And you don't even have to be browsing the Internet to become a victim.

I met Bill Adams at the recent SPE conference, and was very disappointed to miss his lecture (which I heard was A-mazing). Bill approaches photography from a unique point of view - with a freedom, creative wackness, and sense of humor this community is so sorely lacking. I am sharing a few paragraphs from his must-read Wickipedia page : Bill Adams is an American photographer who claims to be the grandson of legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams .The Holga Darkroom
Click Here for more information LightBox is pleased to announce the call for submissions for the third annual Plastic Fantastic Show. We wish to stay true to pure film photography using plastic, pinhole, box or homemade cameras. No digital photography will be considered. LightBox appreciates photographic images made with plastic “toy” cameras and established this show to celebrate the gallery’s anniversary every year!
I have always been intrigued by Nancy Rexroth's photo titled "White Sky", Chauncey, Ohio, 1976" (I'll let you google it). It's a perfect summation to her wispy, dreamlike images in her seminal book Iowa. It's really nothing more than a a field of white with a black, Diana camera film border. I'm not even convinced that it's actually a photograph, which makes me love it all the more.

A photobooth image an hour or so after... So much going on these days. So much to be grateful for.Have you ever heard the famous words of Dr Johnson “When two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather.”? Maybe you have or maybe you haven’t, or maybe you have never worried about stereotypes. Well, whatever the case may be, on one splendid day in June at Burghley House, Lincolnshire, UK there were »

I received my package today from the Hong Kong Post! Three new Holgas to play with and test. I really can't wait to test these cameras and share the results and photos with you guys! This order is from HolgaDirect. Nice tripod mount on the bottom of the 120-WPC--it has a small mounting plate on the bottom so that the camera can easily be mounted on a tripod.

After spending a month in March and April in Seattle, mostly spent photographing the Moisture Festival , I hit the road again, this time in my little van, with my collection of toy cameras, books and lots of film. First stop was San Francisco to teach a workshop at Rayko Photo , which was featuring their huge Plastic Camera Show. As one of the guest artists, I had a mini show of my own in the midst of the exhibition. Moving south, I hit PDN’s 30 Under 30 exhibition at The Icon in Los Angeles, where the Holga Inspire exhibition was in March. It was a treat to make it to one event as part of MOPLA , and see Hossein Farmani, head of the Lucie Foundation. And heading into the heat of the Southwest, I ended up in Tucson, to be part of ArtsEye Gallery’s Curious Camera exhibition.

Anyone engaged in a creative activity is faced at some time with non-challenging work. If it weren't for the possibility of losing a client by refusing to accept a dopey assignment the thought generally runs towards a grudging acceptance. Such was the case when asked to shoot the exterior of the house Steve Jobs grew up in. I had it all sized up.

One of the things you learn in any good beginning photography class is to try and judge your images for what they are not what you want them to be. In other words to detach yourself from the emotions of why you took the image to see if it actually works as intended. To often when first starting out we want every image to work and end up getting attached to the idea of the image rather than how successful it is. You learn quickly that being dispassionate can help you get better by forcing you to go back and revisit a failed attempt. Well sometimes apparently the reverse is true. Last year I had what I thought was a brilliant idea for a shoot.Way back in August, we were cruising through Rocky Mountain National Park on Trail Ridge Road just outside Grand Lake, Colorado when I saw her. "MOOSE!! Stop the car!!" I yelled.
