Photo by © Mathieu AsselinI took to calling 2012 the “Year of Photobooks Online,” what with the slew of photobook-related websites that popped up. This year, though, I’m hearing about more real-life photobook meetups, whether it’s on some online feed or from people I know in Tokyo. In any case, I’m not sure yet whether to call 2013 the “Year of Real-Life Photobook Events,” but 10x10 American Photobooks is certainly giving me a push in that direction. read more100 American Photobooks, Available for Instant Browsing—Offline, That Is     show less

Photo by © Mitch EpsteinIn cities, trees are inevitably secondary to the man-made landscape that surrounds them. They're a garnish—something you're happy is there (and whose absence would be troubling), but often a backdrop. A non-participant. read moreA Fresh Look At…Trees?     show less

Photo by © Wolfgang TillmansWith Neue Welt, Wolfgang Tillmans released one of the best books of last year. If you haven't already bought it, I can recommend it without reservation. Still, if you're looking to get an introduction to Tillmans' work, you would do well to download some of the PDFs that Tillmans has just uploaded to his website. There are seven files in total, and they provide an excellent survey of Tillmans' work to date.

When the Boston Marathon was attacked last month, the staff at Boston Magazine wanted to do something special to honor the victims and pay tribute to a city that had been thrown into chaos. They settled on the idea of collecting sneakers from runners in the race and telling their stories. All the sneakers would be collected into a single photograph and put on the cover of the magazine. They hired veteran still life photographer Mitch Feinberg to get the shot. This is the story behind that shot.  read moreInterview: Mitch Feinberg On His Boston Magazine Marathon Tribute Cover     show less

Photo by Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSINASA's Cassini-Huygens probe has orbited Saturn since 2004. In terms of photographic output, it's a frequent stunner, due in no small part to its subject planet and its dramatic rings. But today's release is especially alluring. For the first time, the craft has photographed a mysterious hurricane at the planet's north pole. read moreMeanwhile, In Space: A Hurricane On Saturn     show less

Photo by © Alec SothA couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about Alec Soth in which I dug up an old interview of his that seemed related to the “How You Living?” series of interviews I’ve been doing, in which we learn how photographers support themselves today. He was describing his life just after college, and it did not seem all that different from the experiences I’ve heard from other young photographers so far.
