Festival + Awards - Oct 8+9 New York City Photographer Ryan Muirhead Talks Depression, Creativity, and What It Means to Be Human There’s no way of knowing when you’ll wake up in life, or if you ever will. Only after getting down the track a ways do you realize you were in fact asleep when you thought you had things figured out. And this thought scares the shit out of you. Because those times when you were certain, it turns out you knew nothing. Five years ago photographer Ryan Muirhead (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram) took that step and is now traversing the void. Muirhead is a 32-year-old Utah native who discovered photography just before turning 27. A lot of people with a talent for photography harness that towards a business in shooting for clients. When I started shooting I was miserable. I assumed you had been shooting since you were a kid. I took my first photo ever when I was almost 27. But I started doing this for me — as a type of journal. Speaking of teaching, you’ve done a few training events recently. I love those! Where do you think the artistic compulsion comes from? Why art? (Ryan laughs.)
Graham MacIndoe’s Self-Portraits of His Heroin Addiction — New York Magazine Graham Macindoe From time to time I’ll post on an Artist that moves me to the point of feeling compelled to share with you. This morning in my daily grind of searching the internet endlessly for these little nuggets of meaning, I found Graham Macindoe. In a provocative series of self-portraits Macindoe documents some of his experiences during his grueling addiction to heroin. These images are real. I know that when I look at my own work when it’s fresh, I am still very connected to experience of making the images and the way I felt while I was creating them. The need to document the bizarre life I lead and all the consequences of it, is what led me to creating work of the same nature as MacIndoes’s.

Just A Glimpse Closet Girl's Former Parents Shocked The last time Bill and Sabrina Kavanaugh saw Lauren Ashley Calhoun, she was celebrating her second birthday, an energetic, healthy child who loved the outdoors and movies. That image, the bittersweet memory of a couple who'd fought to adopt Lauren, was in sharp contrast to the starving girl law officers found in a trailer in Hutchins, about 20 miles south of Dallas. Lauren was rescued Monday from a filthy, lice-infested closet where authorities say she'd spent four months locked away from her mother, stepfather and five siblings. She weighed only 25 pounds, her stomach was bloated due to malnutrition and her eyes were sunken in. The girl's mother, Barbara Catherine Atkinson, 30, and stepfather, Kenneth Ray Atkinson, 33, were charged Tuesday with injury to a child and were being held in the Dallas County Jail. Police said Barbara Atkinson told others that Lauren had an eating disorder and was staying with a baby sitter. Judge Returned Lauren to Birth Mother Dr.
