keep it like a secret
I have a photograph sitting here on my desk that I would like to share with you, but I’m getting kind of bored with this whole “Internet” business. So let’s make a deal: you send me five dollars, and I send you a print.
I like these photographs
Flickr has a new gallery feature which allows you to group related images onto one page. The interface is nice; I could certainly think of a few improvements, but it gets the job done. I still enjoy going through my contacts’ recent uploads from time to time and occasionally see something that makes my eyes pop. Finding the good stuff in the proverbial haystack can require a lot of patience, but I think I came up with a nice selection, including photos from Alexi Hobbs, Noah Kalina, Sean Stewart, Grant Willing, Carlos Albalá, and Lisa Scheer, and others. Take a look and let me know what you think.
third nature
Carretera de Vallvidrera al Tibidabo, by Dalton Rooney

An appreciation of work
When I’m on vacation, I get to pretend that I am a photographer for a living, which is a really fun thing to do. I become single-minded about my work in a way that I never am at home. I make a point of making the most of my time, going out to shoot every day if I can. On the days I’m not shooting, I am doing research, hiking out to new locations, making notes, or just looking at or reading something inspiring. In the 15 days we were in Barcelona this August, I was out shooting for 11 of those days, and thinking about photography the rest of the time.
