BIG THANKS to Pieter Wisse for featuring me as today’s photographer on his 500 Photographers blog. Peter is profiling five active photographers a week for 100 weeks. It’s a very clever way of compiling the work of 500 photographers and shucks, I’m very honored to be Photographer #041…

500 Photographers has spotlighted the work of a number of familiar names like Todd Hido, Dave Hill, Marc Hom, Nadav Kander, Benjamin Lowy, David Maisel and Michael Wolf, but it’s even more fun to “discover” the work of someone you might not have been familiar with.
Pieter Wisse is a photographer based in Rotterdam. He’s owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore that publishes Four Eyes Photography Magazine and recently published his book ‘I believe in 88′. When Pieter is finished, 500 Photographers will be an amazing archive of photographers of the 21st century. Thanks for making me a part!

Lou Lesko of BlinkBid pimped me out today on the Livebooks blog about the future of editorial photography. I don’t necessarily share Lou’s views about encouraging blogs to use of your photos for free, unless, of course, the blogs are about with one of my two favorite subjects: photography and me...
Yet I certainly agree that blogs are a great way to get your name out there. Thanks for the blog love, dude!
