If you're looking to fill a blank wall be sure to arrive early (doors open at 7pm sharpish - Facebook event link).

Collect.Give mastermind Kevin Miyazaki and several talented friends are at it again (in addition to raising over $28,000 for charity), this time with a brand new website and book, celebrating the first 50 of us photographers with essays by such cool cats as Darius Himes, Miki Johnson, and Alison Zavos, among others.
$22 gets you in on the fun - you can take a look and buy here. Not yet convinced, well why don't you peek over at the new writeup that the Time.com Lightbox blog gave to C-dot-G which happens to feature my print of a really, really large (and now decommissioned) space rocket. @johnloomis

Clearly I haven't been paying as much attention to the "real" blog this year. But if you are interested in seeing a bit more about what I've been up to the best way has lately been on InstaGram, an iPhone app/image community. Of course I also can be followed on Twitter and Tumblr (which has replaced this blog for small updates, new personal projects, travel snaps, etc.)
Back to InstaGram (these grids were shot/shared over InstaGram - make sure to click to see them larger - and represent some favorites from 2011 thus far), there is a growing group of interesting people using it and if you are glued to your iPhone as much as the rest of us you should really check it out. I'm definitely not the guy who is looking for more ways to fragment my attention/audience/content/life, but InstaGram might get you using the very decent iPhone camera to jumpstart your creativity, which is a pretty cool thing. And if you're already addicted you should check out Gramfeed, which is a great way to check in on your feed while on a desktop.
This blog is going to stick around and I'm hoping to share a bunch of new stuff over the next couple of weeks, but InstaGram/Twitter/Tumblr have been much a much better tool for how I've wanted to share content over the last year. I don't want to think about what every step I take means/is... sometimes I just want to send a new idea out into the world and see what it bounces off of and sort of take it's temperature.
Rituals I
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
To be responsible for your own time is both a joy and occasionally a strange burden. What to do with yourself when you have infinite hours to use, spare, or waste. Of course it seems like a miracle to anyone with a full-time job, but just like that feeling on vacation when you start to go a bit crazy without a schedule, freelancing needs structure in order to remain full and fulfilling.
I began yesterday (and most days) by putting the bright yellow tea kettle on the range while reading NYT headlines as it approached boiling. Four and a half scoops of course ground beans went into my well used french press carafe. Then I filled up half the press and stirred for 20 seconds, then the rest and another 10 seconds stirring. Staring at the beans I was struck by the ritual of my morning and the way it gives shape to my day, my work, my life. My ritual and it's quirks and changes isn't special at all, but after 8 years of full-time freelance I can definitely say that it is important. More snow

It's hardly news that the northeast has been covered in snow most of the winter. Anyway, took a walk early this morning through Central Park... didn't take many pics but I wanted to share this tree which mesmerized me. Nothing really to add, so beautiful.
The fun part of wandering that way today were the dog walkers out in droves; hundreds of dogs bounding through the drifts.
