I’m a little late on getting the news out, but this image from my Behind the Curtain project has been selected to appear in the upcoming American Photography 29 book, which is due out in November:

From 9,075 pictures entered by 875 photographers, magazines, agencies, publishers and schools, the jury selected, by a majority vote or better, only 300 images to appear in the book and represent the best pictures from 2012.

The image ran in Fortune Magazine last November and a lot of the credit for this accolade go to the crew over there for submitting the image. So, thanks to Director of Photography Mia Diehl and Photo Editors Michelle Wolfe, Armin Harris + Michele Taylor. Thanks!

Just in case anyone actually reads my Tumblr, I’m sorry for the pause in posting recently. I’ve just moved homes (yet again!) and work in Iowa is picking up more than I anticipated.

On that same note, check out these random BTS shots from a VERY cool recent editorial shoot in rural, straight-road Nebraska. It was so tiring even the dogs were sacked. I’ll have more on that shoot in the future.

Thanks to fine assistant Patrick Geske for the shot of me. (If you’re ever in need of someone in the Omaha region - look the guy up. He’s great.

 What inspired this series?
“Well, it’s an idea that’s been bubbling below the surface for a while, and that I’ve only recently started finding the time to start. I think some of the big infrastructure stories—Katrina, I-35 bridge collapse, more recently Sandy—sort of jolted me into looking more deeply into the infrastructure problems facing this country. When I started digging a bit, I began finding all these little issues that added up to a huge problem. And like a lot of things in this country, when tragedy strikes, we mourn, rebuild and we go back to not worrying about the underlying problems.” - Ryan Donnell
