Some work in Turkey

“Offset Work” – 35mm black and white photo-essay
Nearly a year ago I spent some time with a press crew of five as they printed a newspaper on an old Goss Community offset press. The job was one of the crew’s last to operate on the 70-year old machine, as they would soon move to a new facility equipped with a fancy new press that, despite its efficiency, provides none of that Mad Max charm.
Retaining consistency in presentation with vertical images
Most of the time I hold a camera normally, but sometimes a vertical shot is the most appropriate. Occasionally I will perform a vertical crop of a horizontal image (but not often – this knocks out a lot of image data).
In presenting my photo work in sets meant to be scrolled top to bottom, as I like to do, I encountered a problem with the integration of vertically-oriented (“tall”) images into groups of horizontally-oriented (“wide) images. Only around five percent of my photos are tall, but they are no less important.
Trip to Kyiv, Ukraine
I watched the developments out of Kyiv, Ukraine in late January 2014 with great interest. After the explosions stopped and the fires went out, media coverage cooled. As I read more about the incredibly complex political situation on the ground there, I decided to travel to Kyiv in order to discover what was happening.
