Gin Rimmington Jones
Perhaps encountering landscape with what you feel and sense rather than what you think and remember, will open up a deeper engagement with land as a space of interconnections, of co-existence and infinite wonder; a place of revelation and encounter. more
Project European Canyons
The unknown of European canyons was one of the main reasons for me to start a new book project on this subject a few years ago, besides my fascination for (the power of) flowing water, my interest in mountains, rocks and geology and my love for rough, unspoilt nature. more
Viktoria Haack – Portrait of a Photographer
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Viktoria’s work is how she can cross-pollinate multiple sub-genres of photography to differentiate herself from the rest of the pack. more
Save Yourself
If nothing else, with such things at stake as avoiding suffering and living a more meaningful life, at least consider the possibility that whatever value you may get from photography today may pale in comparison with other kinds of value available to you. more
Past Masters and expressive photography
There are people who collect beautiful pictures of views in an attempt to make pretty pictures and those who explore further and try to express themselves through photography. more
Paula Pink
In the last couple of years, she has been experimenting with alternative photographic processes. The latter, most notably cyanotypes, have become popular recently. more
Eric Erlenbusch – Portrait of a Photographer
I believe that this approach is central to Eric’s ability to “harness the chaos” in a pleasing way as it allows him to try many different ideas and approaches to making an image without the expectation that something good comes of it. more

Limpets in the Landscape
Although limpets are widespread and can be easily observed at low tide in many places along the Atlantic coast of Europe, the life of limpets is completely unknown to most people. more
Transcendent Forms and Noble Lies
I wrote this article as a possible first in a series themed “Philosophy for Photographers.” My hope is that it might help photographic artists understand photography in the greater context of historical thinking about art. more
Mattias Sjölund
I live close to Stockholm, at a glance in the middle somewhere but actually 17 hours on a train from Abisko in the far north and 6 hours south to the middle of Sweden. more
Michael Bollino
I feel there were a series of small events punctuated by a few big moments that all worked together to shape my life into something new and unexpected. All of them involved either being in nature or challenging myself in the natural world. more
Tristan Todd – Portrait of a Photographer
Tristan shared with me that a lot of his photography is conducted in the lush rainforests accessible by a short bus ride from his home and that this closeness has allowed him to become much more familiar with the terrain. more
The Prospect of Happiness
Mostly this has to do with the idea that happiness is a relative state, rather than absolute. In this, it is meant that happiness may only be brought about by alternative factors in life, rather than life itself bringing about happiness. more
Classical Photographers and Jazz Photographers
Ansel Adams spent much of his early years training to become a classical pianist. He often mused about the ways his musical training has influenced his photography. more
