Just say no to grad school?
Mindy McAdams had a post this morning that as a grad student I thought is worth sharing. She writes about a topic I’ve been living for the past two years of my life; grad school. She makes some valid points and others that I don’t agree with. Mindy writes Journalism is not rocket science. You [...]
Contests: The love and hate relationship
With the contest season slowly coming to a close I enjoyed a recent post by Trent Nelson on contests in response to a student threatening to burn his photos. A panel of contest judges deemed the young photographer and all the entries in the Young Scottish Photographer of the Year category to be unworthy of [...]
Trapped – Mental Illness in America’s Prison
My girlfriend, Jenn, posted her stunning magazine project that deals with mental illness in prison. Jenn’s work is one of the strongest multimedia pieces I’ve seen in recent memory.

More from Quartzsite.
I woke up earlier than my body would have liked to do a time-lapse of Quartzsite and capture a few scene setters. The light was in its usual AZ glory, which made getting up a lot easier. Was delighted to have the flag to use as a foreground element. Buck here was a pretty good [...]
Another day in Quartzsite.
Spent another day in Quartzsite working on my shoot for magazine class. The warmth of the people here continues to amaze me. Today turned out to be a 12 hour day. The population here might primarily be over 65, but they have no problem staying active. In fact, I feel like the old one here. [...]
