My Big List of Lists 2009

Posted on 10:00 by election
2009 was an ass-kicker of the highest order.

Birdfeeders and Evolution

Posted on 09:37 by election
Domesticated was born largely from my interest in evolution after reading The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time. I became fascinated with the concept of evolution in real-time and wanted to explore the grander implications of subtle and gradual human interventions within ecosystems.We tend to think to think of evolution as something that has happened in the past. We see the...

The Future of Photobooks

Posted on 17:33 by election
Andy Adams of Flak Photo asked me to weigh in on the 'Future of Photobooks' conversation initiated by Livebooks. Most of what I've read on this topic has centered on technology and it's impact on the process and distribution of photography books. Technology has lowered the barrier to entry and the Internet has changed the distribution model, but does this represent a significant advancement of...
