For AARP Bulletin: The Faces of Social Security …and then some.

Dr. Timothy Modlin, Social Security Recipient

AARP Bulletin DOP Michael Wichita called me up a few months ago — actually, while I was in Denver for Geekfest – needing an in-house mock up made so he could pitch an illustration idea to his bosses for a big story they’re doing on the kind of people who use Social Security. He needed it [...]


Scary Self Portraits, Part 2. The importance of mood.

The !El Mateo!

I recently realized that I when I listen to music I respond waaaayyy more to the mood a song creates than I do to its lyrics. I always hear how the vocals are sung and never hear what’s being said. Maybe that’s why I like metal? It didn’t take too long for me to understand [...]

25th Annual D.C. High Heel Drag Queen Race

DC Drag Queen High Heel Race, 2011

Dozens of drag queens raced down 17th Street, between P and S Streets NW near DuPont Circle Tuesday October 25th, 2011. The race is 25 years old! How’s that for stick-to-it-ive-ness? While you’re looking through the photos, I want y’all to play a game. It’s kinda like “Where’s Waldo,” but we’re gonna call it

Screen shot 2011-10-24 at 12.34.41 PM

In case y’all haven’t heard of The Image Deconstructed blog, it’s an amazing resource! It deals with photographers’ mental processes & as a whole, gives insite into how photographers think — and sometimes feel — when they’re making pictures. It’s the brain child of Ross Taylor, who — and it should go without saying — [...]

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 [...]

The Other Matt Roth The Photographer

So, yeah… there’s another photographer named Matt Roth out there. Professionally, he goes by Matthew Aaron Roth, but to all his friends he’s Matt Roth. Luckily we shoot different subjects. I’m more of a portrait & editorial guy, and he’s an “adventure” photographer. Our only overlap is

Mychael Wright

Mychael Wright, a friend of mine, agreed to let me make a few lit portraits of him about a month ago. It was a few days after Hurricane Irene came through and his power was still out. So, I used a portable battery pack. Recently I’ve been trying to make as many
