End Frame: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, USA, 2009 by Sebastiao Salgado
Its effect is not unlike being punched extremely hard photographically in the face, whilst simultaneously enjoying a thorough and detailed conversation with your mind, your heart, and your soul. more
Northern Exposure
My dream of spending several months in Alaska rose anew last year when I was in between permanent job positions and with a free summer ahead. more
End frame: “Below South Crofty” by Jem Southam
For some this picture is a mysterious invocation of the spirit of place, and yet for others is little more than an undisciplined snapshot, barely worth consideration as a "landscape photograph" at all. more
Trophy Hunting in Utah
Don’t knock trophy hunting, it’s OK once in a while, and they are trophy shots for a reason. more

For the Joy of Photography
Like all art, our photography develops as we change and progress in our lives. more
Endframe: Uluru Dreaming, April 1990, Uluru National Park by Peter Jarver, AIPP
Most of us have probably seen Uluru rock as this intense and bright orange rock, but in this photo, because of the intimate framing and the natural vibrant colour, it was completely different. more
