If critters don’t speak to you or your camera, then perhaps you’re not the Dr. Dolittle type…or at least in photography terms anyway.

As photographers, it’s our job – no, it’s our duty – to capture images [...]
As the saying goes, “the night time is the right time.” And the photographers that submitted their images for November’s Night and Light assignment couldn’t agree more. Many thanks to those who braved the dark and the cold and came through with their “homework” for this assignment. Great work! If you are interested in submitting [...]
For many people in the United States, the primary goal this week is to make it through a few days of work so the Thanksgiving festivities can begin. We understand this is a lofty goal and shouldn’t be taken lightly. However, once you have successfully achieved it and are looking to redirect your attention from [...]
