As a result, I felt part of something I hadn’t felt for many, many years—a country of compassionate fellow citizens. We were everywhere. It was an open, friendly, upbeat chaos.
There was a feeling of, “Damn right this is our country and we’re taking it back!”

I really hate this time of year. It’s impossible not to look back with disappointment and exhaustion at the year that’s almost over. And the crushing saturation of the “HOLIDAY SEASON!” is enough to make any sane person crazy. I’ve never been one of those people who looks to the future shining so clearly right in front of me. What I see is fog. It’s as if I’m looking to where the cliff drops off. I can’t see anything ahead.…

Will Steacy spent 5 years photographing the Philadelphia Inquirer newsroom at a time of increasing decline in the newspaper industry. His unrestricted access has accounted for an important historical document that he is trying to turn into a photo book, DEADLINE.
I wanted to talk about 4 fundraising projects that I think are worth your attention and hopefully your support. They are very different from each other, but they are strong projects by people who are professionals with the background of work to match. Some are close to their goal, some are far but if you can spread the word and help they have a chance of success. Lorraine Hansberry is best known for writing A Raisin In The Sun, but…
The 9/11 Museum is not for me. It’s not for anyone who was in New York on that day or the days after. It’s for tourists looking for a visceral connection to an event they saw from a distance. For me there will never be a distance. And before I came to the museum I was wondering if that would be true. Years after I thought I had my catharsis (read about it here) and thought I had move on,…

On April 29th, the Penumbra Foundation is presenting the lecture: The Artist in a Professional World: Three Photographers Three Perspective I’ve heard this is sold out, but there is a waiting list. Is there a photographer anywhere in the world who hasn’t struggled with this at one time or another.
I was born in The Bronx. I grew up in The Bronx, so I feel an affinity for the Bronx Documentary Center. And as they’re trying to raise money for one year of programming, I am here to implore you to join me in contributing to make this happen. They are only a couple of thousand dollars from their goal. This is the only place of its ind in New York, started by photographer Michael Kamber, and has hosted some…
Curated the show “Mainland,” for both in-gallery and online for the Kiernan Gallery in Virginia. January 2 – February 1, 2014 See more here
I’ve promoted several crowd funding projects here and through other social media because I believe we should support each other when the idea is strong. I always put my money where my mouth is, so here are a couple I think are important, albeit very different.
I rarely get mail. What I mean is I rarely get mail that isn’t bills. I’ve gotten off most of the junk mail lists, so day after day I check my mailbox and there’s nothing there. That is usually good, but I still feel that child-like sense of surprise when something I hadn’t expected shows up.
