Check out my latest post on The Captured photoblog on TheWeek.com. Micaela Walker is an amazing photographer, mother and Vice President of Extreme Kids and Crew. Influenced by an image of Picasso from Life magazine shoot by photographer Gjon Mili, Micaela did a photoshoot of "Light Writing" with the children at Extreme Kids. This post is her story and those pictures.
This past summer when I received a cyanotype and bundle of sage in the mail, I knew I was part of something special. For years, Insight photography program has been bring students to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Here the participants learn and experiment with a variety of photographic techniques, including printing photographs onto cyanotype cloth to create photographic quilts.
This year the 2014 Exposures Program includes youth and partnering educators from Oglala Lakota Sioux Little Wound High School in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, youth from the Eagle Rock High School in Colorado, and youth from In-Sight Photography Project in Brattleboro, Vermont.
I encourage you to donate what you can- this is a gift that will reach far beyond this summer.
...but instead I got to write about photographer, Matthew Brandt who resurrected animals from the La Brea Tar Pits using dust from the actual pits! Check it out here.
I miss my K1000. Setting up shots, shooting through plastic...creating effects with light. Sure, all the cellphone after effects are fun and make a lot of people look pretty damn pro. But there is something to be said for a little dirt on the window of a moving train.

A few weeks ago we decided to bring our newborn son on his first beach walk. It was brutally cold and we had all of Sandy Hook Beach to ourselves. Or so we thought....
In the distance I saw a brightly colored figured but could't make it out.
As he drew close, I had my finger poised on my camera to get a shot. He turned directly at me as we passed.
Apparently his friend had dared him to wear the outfit...he thought he chose a spot no one would see him.
