Photographing the young people of Seoul was my essay for the Magnum Korea book. The previous picture on this thread for the same. I hadn’t worked in Korea prior. Studied history and the demographics of course but the big jump for all who photograph cultures outside their own is to be sensitized to that culture. …
Seoul, Korea from my unpublished series “Dream Hotel”. A fictionalized sequence that only exists as a slideshow. A sketch of an abstract idea based on a real hotel where we stayed. I’m headed East in a few days, so I was simply looking at all my work from Japan, Vietnam, Korea, and Thailand. I’ll be …
There’s a big hole in the roof of my darkroom. A water leak necessitated ripping the roof off and making repairs. Normal stuff. On the coldest day of winter so far of course. Yet winter is when I love the darkroom most. On a hot summer day I’m heading for bike and beach. Winter I …
I do portfolio reviews every day one way or another. I always tell myself I don’t have time to be looking at the work of emerging photographers, yet I always cave in. I just put myself in their place. Young photogs pop into my NY loft every afternoon I’m there and a few at OBX …
Happy Birthday to Lyla Maryanna Harvey!! đTwo years ago today she made me actually love the word grandfather. I am so proud of her and mostly of mom Michelle and dad Bryan who have set up a mutual model of parenting to only be admired. We were all just now shooting working playing in Puerto …
Isabela , Puerto Rico. Join me for a photo workshop in Puerto Rico in late February when it’s going to be freezing in northern latitudes! I’m doing a workshop for the first time in SanJuan because I just returned and it’s just a great place to shoot and learn. I’m doing all of my workshops …
Guanajuato, Mexico. I always love photographing cowboys and most especially in Mexico during a cabalgata when hundreds form a religious procession. This one somewhere between San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato city. These men ride hard, drink hard, and pray hard simultaneous. Their wives and children are also part of the mix, yet usually …
Thai boxing in Pattya beach town. I’m headed back here soon to shoot a segment of BeachGames. The tiniest kids will box. Seemed dangerous to soft children skulls to me but I’m a photographer not a judge. #thailand #thaiboxing #pattya
It’s unseasonably warm and foggy here in the outer banks. While usually folks here are complaining about the cold this time of year, they seem oddly uncomfortable with the warm. As if something is seriously wrong. El Niño is the rationale. While I like warm more than cold, winter here is relatively mild compared to …
