If you find yourself in NYC tomorrow night (Nov. 12) and fancy some fine photographic offerings then please stop by the 2011 Art From The Heart show at 25CPW, in which I'm proud to have a print included (quick preview snap seen above, from my Dirty Dozen series, fancily printed on metallic paper). Just $200 buys you a tag, which (first come, first served) allows you to "tag" your favorite piece in the show and take it home. 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.

Yes indeed things have been pretty quiet on the ole blog. If you live here in NYC you probably understand the feeling that winter may actually never end, and that it makes simple sense to build a giant fort out of blankets, couch cushions, pillows, and c-stands and just watch Netflix straight for the last 4 months... which often does not inspire blog updating (or love from your wife). But the spring rain is here, the Yankees are bombing away, and I've decided to finally come out from hiding to talk about what's been going on.
First off I've been doing a bunch of meetings armed a stack of new portfolios (sorry for the ghetto flip through vid quality, you can also check out PDFs of the books here). In addition to the usual job stuff I've also been spending a lot of time researching, editing, and shooting a handful of personal projects. Some of them have found a home on my newly updated website (there is a first edit of the Pioneers! project, restart of my Opposite of Love portrait essay, as well as new galleries Conch and Ballers, of Bahamian conch and pro ballerz, respectively.)
New stuff gets thrown up on the website all the time (I feel weird announcing each one like its a big deal) so come back every once in a while if you're interested. I should also note that there is now a "speed dating" version for all of you busy, busy photo editors and art buyers out there... just head straight to our "Elevator Pitch" and you'll be in and out in under 30 seconds - you guys are swamped, we dig it and just want to help!
In top secret news, and for those of you who hate my writing, I've actually been way more active on the JLP tumblr account (code name: Dixon), posting images from new projects and quite a few iPhone snaps. If some of you like to get down like that please join us over there. And speaking yet again about personal projects (basically my bag in 2011), Pioneers! was recently featured on New Landscape Photography (seen above), run by Willson Cummer (Thanks!)
Lastly, in travel news I'm heading south to the Sunshine State for work, family time, and sun on my pasty white body next week. I'll be all over Florida from April 11-22, so if any of you dear, sweet clients need something please give a shout.

Within a day last week I received an old postcard I made in 2001 during college as well as a shiny new copy of the American Photography 26 book, both from friends. It was 10 years ago now that I shot my first real freelance job (U.S. News & World Report), and that I made my first plans to leave Missouri. I certainly had no clue about the twists and turns my work and career would take.
It's super cool to have received such nice play in the AP book, and I'm surrounded by some class acts... Leavitt, and Lillegraven before, and my buddy Ben Lowy right after. Anyway, a nice way to start 2011 as I mull over my AP27 entry and begin a new year, decade.
