Joe Bug! …and his new promo book: HOTLOADING!
“Hotloading” is Joe Bugleowicz’s photographic memoir of nearly a year driving a tourist bus in Alaska. It’s really good & super quirky. All the photos in the newspaper were made with a film point & shoot & printed by Newspaper Club.

Jen Rynda …the new Matt Roth!
BOY! Doesn’t this post’s title sound cocky!? All that means is Jen Rynda replaced me at the Patuxent Publishing Company when I quit last December. And In case you’re curious, she’s doing a great job. She’s also putting a fresh new face on the Athletes of the Year photos — which, I suppose if I [...]
Blake Andrews’: PISSED!
Flag-laden Simon Penning, age 19, from Guilford, MD, middle, joins other Preakness-goers and uses the cracks in between the the wheelchair accessible portable toilets to urinate. Infrequent rains, beer, and urine, made this particular part of the infield muddier and more pungent than other areas. Blake Andrews recently made a really good and insightful (well, [...]
The Man! The Mystery! THE STROBIST!!!
FASTER THAN A SPEEDLIGHT! ABLE TO GEL SMALL FLASHES STRONGER THAN A VIVITAR 285 …he’s THE STROBIST! My buddy Drew and I used to joke about how mild mannered (yeah right!) David Hobby’s alter ego “THE STROBIST” was a great super hero’s name. And the last time I got to photograph him, I really wanted [...]
A new Christmas Experience.
For the last four years I’ve spent Christmas Day with my girlfriend Jess and her family. And it’s soooo weird to me. You see, I’m an only child. And I was raised by a single mom. …and, to an extent, my grandparents. For a while, my mom and I actually lived with grandparents and my [...]
A 21st Century Road Trip!
My college friend Margaret Goerig is going on a 21st century-style road trip! That is, she’s driving cross country with her dog Rennie, meeting up with Facebook friends, writing *cough* — i mean blogging about it on her site, http://www.flitflitter.com — and driving everywhere in a charming jalopy of a camper — Roxie — which [...]
Fifteen Minutes. …Do I hear 30?
Holy Smokes. You guys see that gigantic visitor’s spike in my google analytics dashboard? That was on the day David Hobby, aka The Strobist, pimped me out on twitter. …his handle is @strobist for those reading this post who didn’t find me through him. 1,835! that’s how many people checked out my blog July 15th, [...]
The Strobist for The Howard County Times
Sometimes photographing another photographer can be intimidating. …sometimes it can be annoying. But I felt neither emotion when I got to photograph David Hobby last week. It was
Brad Trent. Fun translates on a shoot.
Brad Trent is super bad ass. Giving Credit to where credit is due, The Strobist recently pimped him out, discussing his regularly practiced fourth-wall-breaking “Artificial Portraits” series. So, that’s where I heard about him. Now… I’m a big fan. and I LOOOOOOVE his wackadoo style. It seems like Mr. Trent just likes to have fun. [...]
10am Update: Shoot whatever you want, just not their faces.
A new playground for the abused and neglected children of The Ravens Courage House had an opening ceremony Friday January 20, 2005. For the children’s safety none of them are to be identified in the photo. So, what do you do when you can’t show faces? — thank your lucky stars for the sun location, [...]
Holy Smokes! I’m in 2nd place.
I know this sounds like I’m bragging — and well, I guess I am a little, but not in a cocky way. It’s more like a “super excited” kind of bragging. I did really well in the recently judged September clip contest. The monthly clip contest doesn’t really go in order. December’s already been judged, [...]
Shoot the Emotion!
If I was to give myself some professional New Years resolutions, this is one of them. “Shooting the emotion” weighs heavier to viewers than cool, graphic images. Using rad light and a bad-ass compositions, don’t cut to the core. They’re just eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOOOVE eye candy. When I look over [...]
