In this video I share my new magazine called PARABLE and the reasons why I've chosen to take on this challenge and move my photography in a more narrative direction as I attempt to focus on 'bodies of work' rather than the single image.

In this video I share some thoughts around choosing your focal length in street photography. My focal length journey took me from 85mm, to 50mm, to 35mm, to 28mm, and each had something to teach me as I worked to take better images on the street. Hopefully some of the advice I offer here will help you find your own focal length of choice.

In this video I share some thoughts on the cost we have to count when making the work we really believe in. Artists, at some point, have to decide whether to produce work which appeals to the widest audience possible for the sake of attention and "success," or communicate the message they really believe in on their own terms.

In this video I share the story of an image I took which was destined to become the cover of my latest book, but at the time of making the image I couldn't see its potential. We as 'makers' are only half of the equation. The other half are the responses we get from those who view our work and when we forget this we might miss the real potential in the things we make.
