NEWWORK MAGAZINE & Communication Arts
Those Olympic Diving images are still making the rounds late in the year. Very happy to see them picked for ISSUE #4 of NEWWORK MAGAZINE, a fantastic fine art photography magazine in NYC, and Communication Arts 2009 Photography Annual. Its nice to see the images in a different forum (fine art) than they were originally [...]

The traveling World Press Photo exhibit landed in Montreal last week, and some of my friends dropped by to check out the snaps. Thanks to Dom, Mike, Steve, Laure and of course Mama Cookson!
Sony World Photography Festival, gala awards dinner
So, the SWPAs have come and gone. What a whirlwind. I flew from Hanoi to Cannes, spent 2 nights at the very cool little 3.14 hotel, and flew right back to Hanoi. That’s about 48hrs worth of flying for roughly 48hrs on the ground. Worth it? Most definitely, even just for the baguettes. Although a [...]
An Evening with Elliot Erwitt
The Sony World Photography Awards hosted an evening with Elliot Erwitt tonight at the Miramar Theatre in Cannes.

First Place, Sport: Sony World Photography Awards

This is really exciting news, especially as the organizers are going to fly me out [...]

The work I submitted was shot during the Beijing Olympics Games in August, 2008. You can view the series on the World [...]
