End frame: Cape Light – Joel Meyerowitz

Portrait of a Photographer – Eric Bennett
It has become quite apparent to me that Eric’s goal with his photography is purely selfless – he wishes to inspire the world to take better care of wild places. more
Is Pictorialism a dirty word?
Is it a style of photography that you look down on? It is associated with a particular period, but we are still influenced by it. more
