I’ll be on the road for the next 2 weeks. This week I’ll be in New Hampshire, Maine, and New York City, and next week I’ll be in Vermont. Give a shout if you want to catch up!

Where the Wild Things Are was one of my favorite books as a child and I’m very excited to see the movie because of it.
Interesting fact: Shawn Records is a Pause, to Begin photographer and Max Records, his son, is the lead character in the movie. Shawn may have or may have not told me this when I visited his house in Portland back in May, 2008, and I may have or may have not been told to keep it under wraps until the trailer’s release.
Congratulations, Max, Shawn, and family!

There are always photographs that don’t make the cut, like this one. But I still like the way the colors in the sky shift from left to right and the way the tree seems to sway with them.

The Rocky Mountain News published it’s final edition on February 27, 2009, closing after publishing newspapers for 149 years and 311 days.
I have never read a single printed-copy of The Rocky Mountain News because I have always lived in New York or Maine, but the photograph I will most remember from the newspaper is this one by Todd Heisler:
This was a ground-breaking photograph in my eyes because it showed an aspect of the Iraq War that the United States government was preventing the mainstream media from publishing: that soldiers were being killed in combat.
The picture is part of Heisler’s “Final Salute” that won both a 2006 Pulitzer Prize and First Place in the 63rd Annual Pictures of the Year International Competition. It is a must-watch.
The moving multimedia piece below shows the final days at The Rocky Mountain news and is worth watching.

I’ll soon be making the move to New York and have been reading a great deal on the internet about portfolios, agencies, etc. The first website I checked was Avisualsociety where I found these:
Avisualsociety has recently quieted down and I wish she would bring forth more content as myself (and presumably many others) read most of the great insight she openly provided.
