  • Corey Hendrickson:  Interview and photos at this is the what.   “I love how working with a camera gets me out into the world, investigating, seeing, talking to people, slowing down, driving like a maniac, observing and recording.  That and getting the film back… It’s a high and nothing compares.  I shoot a lot of digital and its great, but nothing beats having an actual, physical artifact.  And holding it up to the windshield on the way home.”
  • Robyn Hasty:  Photographer Goes Off The Grid with Antique Camera.  Overview at NPR and more about her project here: “Homeland” is a Wet Plate Collodion photo essay documenting the collapse of the American economy by focusing on the people who are re-envisioning and rebuilding life within it. By documenting grassroots efforts across the country, this project aims to connect disparate communities and individuals into a national movement with common ideological threads.
  • John Keatley:  “This really has been an experiment and exploration of a different type of photography.  As much as I pulled away from my portrait work in this process, I came to realize just how important the human element is to me in my work.  I learned how to respond to what I was shooting and adapted my approach as the images came to life.  That is not something I get to experience when working on an ad campaign which has to be planned out completely before shooting.”
  • The Nude:  “We accept black and white nudes as pieces of art with less consideration than its color counterparts, which may bring us too close to the subject and may arouse uncomfortable feelings in the viewer.”  Is this entirely true?  I wonder.
