Everyday Photography, Every Day

143: Jake and the Bridge

Jake Ricker has been shooting the Golden Gate Bridge everyday, all day, for the past 6 years: an interior view of something we usually only experience in exterior.

142: Arthur Drooker, Staying Curious

Today we get to know Arthur Drooker, a creative photographer I first discovered with his brilliant "Conventional Wisdom" -- peering inside some niche gatherings. But today his book of 37 Views of the Golden Gate has sold out, and we look at his interesting career.

141: Wallace Wilson and the Victims of Paradox

I've long been fascinated by the photographs made by Wallace "Wally" Wilson in the 1970s-1980s; he was a professor of photography at the University of Florida when I was a kid, alongside other historic faculty like Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Streetman, Doug Prince, and Todd Walker. Wilson was part of an exciting time in the history of photography, as well as being a cool example of what I would describe as "haiku photography" -- although he would never have described his work that way.

140: Can Composition Be Taught?

Today we're joined by John Lambert and William Loftus, successful tech professionals and excellent amateur photographers, who were recent students in Rubin's experimental "The Art of Composition -- Reimagined" workshop. The group discuss the difficult topic and what it means to be a photographer.

139: Elliott Erwitt, with Rick Smolan

The great photographer Elliott Erwitt passed away last November, but we sat down with his son-in-law, the Internationally acclaimed photographer Rick Smolan, to discuss Erwitt's life and work. Few have had such a close vantage on this inspiration to so many photographers today.
