I was strolling around in my favorite bookstore the other day and stopped by the ‘heavily discounted book’ table. There usually isn’t much there, other than books nobody wants, being sold at 60% of their original price.

Just in time for Christmas, I received the long-awaited yearbook from the world-acclaimed (at least, by me!) 1x.com website. The book, called 1×2, gathered photographs from 210 photographers who contributed to the 1x.com community over the years. The photos in the book cover all the categories present on the website, and demonstrates the tremendous creativity of this website’s members. It is an honor for me to be part of the book and hope to make it for its next edition! […]

Like most people who have chosen to live by a mountain, the bike/ski combination gives you the opportunity to enjoy […]
An iconic figure of contemporary photography passed away yesterday, Wednesday, October 7th, 2009, in Manhattan, New York. His work includes portraits, fashion and still life.

His diverse and extensive work is widely respected by his peers. His latest publication is a compilation of tradespeople portraits taken over the years.
