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!

For the past six years, with variable attendance, my buddies and I have gone camping in the dead of winter.

We pick a remote site, cook amazing meals (think roasted suckling pig), drink fantastic cocktails and, mostly, just bullshit next to the fire until our skin is smoked and we collapse into a boozy sleep. This year was our largest group to date and it had special meaning for me since I was returning to the East Coast for the first time since we moved to Iowa.

And if you’re wondering why we camp in winter - just think about swarming bugs and sweating inside a hot ass tent.

Thanks guys for a great trip. I can’t wait until next year.

I know the feeling. It’s snowing here in Iowa - again. #nochildrenwereharmedinthemakingofthisphoto

So, I didn’t really know know Robert Polidori’s work (yes, my failing) in 2009 when the wife and I visited Versailles. Now, after recently viewing his work at the fantastic Falconer Gallery at Grinnell College, I’m only slightly obsessed with him.
