Got this in my inbox from Blake with the following message: 

“As soon as I heard the first minute of this, I thought I HAVE TO SEND THIS TO JOSEPH MARTINEZ IMMEDIATELY.”  

haha, thanks Dr. B! This is DOPE!  

Anonymous asked: Joe - no question here, just want to say that I like the redesign. Keep up the great work! Kyle

Thanks, Kyle!  It was actually a bit of an accident.  Hit the “Use” button a little prematurely, and I it was done.  I might be changing it again soon, so keep an eye out!  

Yo Jessica!  We’re always looking for cool folks to audition.  I’ll send you a message with more info!

The fog last night in ATL was spooky and beautiful.

You guys.  This looks absolutely INCREDIBLE.  

From Gizmodo:

To celebrate the 200th birthday of the invention of the camera, photographer Dennis Manarchy built one of his own. It looks just like a classic film camera with a wooden frame, leatherette, and brass hardware but, oddly, I don’t remember cameras normally being 35-feet long.

Dubbed “The Eye of America,” this enormous, trailer-mounted camera will snap portraits of notable do-gooders around the country during a 20,000 miles tour of the USA. Despite a large plasma screen mounted on the back end of the camera—so that the public can observe as pictures are taken—it is a real film camera. Its negatives measure 6-feet by 4.5-feet—so big that a building’s windows must be employed as light boxes. According the the photographer, the detail in a single subjects eye is a thousand times greater than the detail in an entire standard negative or digital capture, and for good reason. The negatives need to be big because the resulting portraits will be blown up to two-stories in height.

The set up is so big that Manarchy actually takes the shots from inside the camera using the EoA’s film easel to control the camera’s focus, scale, lights, and all other functions. This 50-state tour is part of Manarchy’s Vanishing Cultures project.

Went to Asheville with some great people last weekend.  It was nice to get out of the city and enjoy some fresh mountain air.

The Making of ‘The Protester’ Portraits for TIME MAGAZINE by Peter Hapak

Another fantastic BTS video, this time from Peter Hapak and the making of latest TIME cover story.  Love the part about giving the protestor dog the sausage to make him stay.
