What a year.  Two print editions, 148 blog posts and 26,530 website visitors later, we put nearly 1,500 photographs in publication during 2010.  Whether you’re new to our magazine or an old-time reader, you’ll find five reasons and 20 images below that represent why I do this: Nicole Aguirre asked me to.

In Ansel Adams’ autobiography he wrote, “The most miraculous ritual of all is the combination of machine, mind, and spirit that brings forth images of great power and beauty.”  Probably more than any photographic device, a large format camera requires the “making” of a picture, not just the “taking” of one.  We can all run [...]

Back in October I had the pleasure of previewing The Phillips Collection’s “TruthBeauty” exhibition with photographer David Burnett and curator Elsa Smithgall as tour guides.  The images, taken from 1845-1945 by numerous legendary artists, demonstrate the range of “pictorialism,” a movement that propelled photography as a legitimate art form.  In many ways, your use of Photoshop [...]

Everyone who attended Burst! must have run across Katie Balloons the contortionist who dressed up in an inflatable fruit basket created by Katie Balloons.  And maybe you sat on the lavender balloon couch with matching sofa chair, whose creator told me they took two days to make.  Both feats were remarkable and attracted large gawking crowds, but [...]

David Burnett wanted something different.  This is how the world-famous photojournalist explained his choice of a florescent pink point-and-shoot digital camera that he tucked away in his blazer shortly before describing his large format Graflex that’s under a glass case at The Phillips Collection.  And of course, minutes later, he took a polaroid and a [...]
