Brilliant film about the wonderfully talented but tragically short lived life of the lead singer of Joy Division, Ian Curtis. Directed by Anton Corbijn, this evocative biopic was beautifully shot in black and white. There is even a photobook where you can be mesmerized by the amazing cinematography of this film of a tragic genius.

“Tribes is a book about marketing, apparently, except it’s actually about leadership.

1. Helping other people helps me.
2. Having guts always works out for me.
3. Thinking [...]

The first shots we did were just working with available light, shooting towards the sun and playing with slightly over-exposing things. I Photoshopped this one up on-site, just to give people an idea of what one can do to the shots out of the camera. Basically wound-down the blue g […]

- Letter to a Young Photographer…. November 9, 2009Lectured last week at the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism. In the photojournalism department, the students all had that traditional mix of energy, enthusiasm, angst, and doubt so typical of that time in your life when you have just picked up a camera and are looking at it, wondering where it will lead you.
