A dispatch from the road&#8230; I&#8217;m somewhere in the middle of Nebraska working on my &#8220;Pioneers&#8221; project; loosely following the immigrant trails and therefore the Platte River as it ribbons it&#8217;s shallow way ever up through increasingly rougher western terrain. It&#8217;s not yet lunch time but because I&#8217;ve been waking up long before the sun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The personal photography project is one of the most fragile pieces of the new freelance landscape. A project must be allowed to breathe and evolve, but many photographers allow only a select few into the developing stages. We are not only protecting our egos (and reputations if the work isn&#8217;t any good) but also potentially [...]]]></description>

Now once again breaking down boxes (we only moved 3.5 miles this time to Columbus Circle) I thought it would be helpful [...]]]></description>

I too tuned into Conan&#8217;s last Tonight Show and have also marveled at the class he&#8217;s displayed during this media storm/NBC meltdown over the last two weeks. On Friday&#8217;s show he took a moment to step it up another level by not only being kind to his employer of so many years, but to also [...]]]></description>

But if I did have a tattoo it would definitely depict the ancient symbol of a serpent eating it&#8217;s own tail, Ouroboros. I was thinking about the dragon today in relation to this [...]]]></description>

There were lots of portraits I&#8217;m pretty sure, a bit of travel, some strange little bits I shot for myself, several compelling stories and failed experiments, some work on personal projects, and yeah a bunch of portraits, of athletes and authors, executives and educators, scientists and [...]]]></description>

Last week supremely talented shooter and stand-up guy Tim Archibald wrote a deceptively succinct post about a condition that just about all freelancers know well, something that T.A. calls &#8220;The Silence.&#8221; I&#8217;ve certainly endured those (and just like a recession you don&#8217;t realize you are in/out of &#8220;the silence&#8221; until months later) and his post [...]]]></description>

After plotting the demise of the printed portfolio most of the summer in favor of a digital version I put the finishing wraps on my new beautiful 11&#215;14 self-printed book earlier this month.  You didn&#8217;t read that incorrectly, I did a 180.  After a lot of tinkering and informal research I came to the conclusion [...]]]></description>
