Josef Shulz
Mr. Shultz works out of charming Düsseldorf and is one of the best architectural photographers I have ever seen. It’s impossible to tear my eyes away. Ok let’s get this straight, this isn’t easy. To make an enormous object like a building look wafer thin, or chunkier than it is, or to appear completely foreign to its background is so precise a skill that I can’t quite fathom his process. He repeatedly performs these feats... Read More
Unknown PSU
For the longest time I’ve wanted to snoop around this enormous University that I’ve called home for about three years now. Nothing affords this better than a Sunday during summer session. A couple Sunday’s ago I took about four hours and went into 3 buildings I’ve never had a reason to venture into: Science building 1 & 2, and the interim XSB Music building. I found myself a full two stories underground, lurking in empty... Read More
Shaun Bloodworth
Shaun Bloodworth loves the electronic scene. He’s just released a film chronicling the electronic underground in the northern UK. It’s called Minds Locked Together. Beyond this though, Shaun is a photographer with a consistently eye-catching style. He recently graced the pages of Human Resources with a great little spot about his new film. I do have a deep affection for startling and stark photography. I’ve just really never... Read More
Julian Gese
I love that this dude has a camera around his neck all the time now – or is it just on the weekends? Whenever it is Julian Gese is creating some great imagery in and around our Portland, and he’s just getting started! Julian is a fellow in the GD program with Ben + I, and is a super giggly good man. I can’t wait to see how his eye develops and how he art directs his future photographs. Great work, Mr. Gese! Julian Gese site | photoblog Read More
Dominik Kruger
Dominik Kruger is a Portland-based designer + photographer. He caught my eye because I know these landscapes and how heavily they are photographed. It can be difficult to take a camera with you to places that are so heavily covered already in greeting cards, calendars and web headers. These scapes though feel like they’ve never been seen before. Especially this last one – can I call it out as Silver Falls south of Portland? I could be... Read More
André Paul Pinces
Lurking around HMAb I became befuddled and charmed by a cute little post on André Paul Pinces. Later, on his site, I found three of his films he’s done as look books for clothing labels. More charm. You may recall an earlier post where I shared a similar approach to a clothing label and their upcoming collections. My point of view is that these are much more effective when I don’t feel like I’m dealing with blatantly but painfully... Read More
Adam McRae
Adam McRae is about to graduate from uni up in Bellingham, Washington – I heard about his images over lunch the other day and somehow I remembered his name. Must have been the french fries. I don’t think Mr. McRae will have any trouble finding commission once graduated – his eye is solid and his work has a point of view. This is what I call dreamy. Nice work Adam! Read More
Flickr says Hello
Flickr is reaching out. I was just reading about their new Hello, India group that allows users to post that one image that ecompases the idea of India. Wether you’re a native or a traveler, well I’ll let them explain: “If you live in India or have been lucky enough to have traveled there, we’d love to see that one photo that you feel encompasses what India means to you. If you haven’t, don’t worry, please share a photo that’s... Read More
Tweed riders galore
What a rabbit hole! Originally I was digging really hard for the next installment of Flickr Group Love to be based on capturing what it is to be a logger. During the dig, the internet (father fate) lead me to Kit Crenshaw’s photostream, which has this set that basically captures the idea of Portland. So to Kit, father fate, and your gorgeous photographs of the spirit of Portlandia. Tweed Ride started in January of this year, and will... Read More
Stephen Tamiesie
Stephen Tamiesie is a Portland-based photographer and artist. I find a sense of humor laced throughout his work, coupled with some incredible composition and craft. His exploration of place establishes a colorful narrative that still leaves some storytelling to happen in the mind of the viewer. So that’s called talent. In 2009 his exploration of the Salton Sea was featured in idPure, a Swiss mag of design & visual creation, and his photographs... Read More
