My Army vs. Navy project just went up on the Mother Jones Magazine website. Check it out here. Special thanks to Mark Murrmann for making it happen!

Josh O’Connor and I spent the past few days driving back roads from southwest Florida to Atlanta, where he starts a new job with U.S. Fish and Wildlife. It’s interesting trying to separate what you want and expect to see, and what you actually see. In the end, I found a collection of images that doesn’t really offer a narrative…but become a phrase or two in a larger story that I can’t quite get my mind around. That said, the BBQ was great. 
I spent yesterday at the Redneck Yacht Club with Greg Kahn. A couple of guys on a home-made swamp buggy took us under their wing and carted us around all day. The driver, Monty, loaned me a pair of his coveralls when I tore the entire crotch out of my pants when I hopped up onto the buggy. I guess if you are going to rip open your pants and expose yourself while shooting, this was the place to do it. 
Inspired by the landscape photography of Michael Kenna, I wandered around New York City after midnight with David Holloway looking for a descent frame. I can see why photographers spend their careers pacing this city. Part of me felt like all of it has already been done…but most of me felt like I was part of something bigger…maybe even a tradition of sorts. I am excited to be here.
Welcome to my new blog! It’s time for a change and my trip to the northeast seemed like an appropriate time to launch a new blog template.
I teamed up with David Holloway and Bill Putnam for some Army vs. Navy action on Saturday in Philadelphia. It was a great day with good light and cheese steaks on South Street afterwards.
