Holiday Sale: The BluePhoto.co Collective is the place to buy incredible pictures while supporting photographers (who keep 85 percent of each sale.)
For the holidays, most prints are between 10 and 25 percent off.
Take a look!

Bill Owens worked for a small-town Bay Area newspaper in the ‘60s & ’70s when he noticed the rise of a particular culture taking shape in the California suburbs, as the two-car-garage types met with waves of the counterculture.
Thrilled that Bill's work is now available for sale on Bluephoto.co.

In which the Wall Street Journal selects BluePhoto.co for its exclusive holiday gift guide, calling it "A new source of curated, affordable images." The @wsj.com highlighted this photo by Clif Wright (which is available on BluePhoto starting at $100).

Fresh from Paris Photo:
Extraordinary images by Marie-Laure de Decker, who died two years ago. Beauty and power and soul.

Personally, I don’t. The other way to look at it is that’s more inspiration than ever. But I do see a lot of folks doing a lot of the same things—better to focus on oneself and give IG a rest.

This is true

We launched BluePhoto.co last month to help people find amazing images for their walls and help photographers keep more money in their pockets. It’s working. (We sold another photo this morning!) Today, we’re announcing BluePhoto gift cards, and as we head into the holidays, look for more offers.

Recently, I launched the BluePhoto Collective, a highly curated platform for buying incredible pictures for your walls…while helping photographers keep more money in their pockets. Here’s what’s new on BluePhoto.co: avani rai, Dave Green, anne Skoogfors.

some News: “Todd Webb: Paris, A Love Story 1948-1952, a photobook I edited and wrote the text for, hits the shelves in two weeks. If you aren’t familiar with Webb’s quietly brilliant work, this is a great introduction. Paris never looked so good. Available from Damiani Books or @bookshop.org

One of my all-time favorite photos (by the great @louisstettnerestate) goes up for auction on October 30 at the @leitz_photographica_auction along with other gems. Register here: www.leitz-auction.com/en/Photograp...

Today on my IG feed, the heart-tugging work of Ghanaian photographer Carlos Idun-Tawiah. Carlos recreates images from his old family photo albums but also creates images from moments that he WISHED had happened but didn’t. It’s beautiful work. On display atParis Photo at the Galeria Alta booth.

My favorite photo auction—the Leitz Photographica Auction—just dropped its online catalog and there are too many extraordinary images not to share.

I interviewed the great photographer Ragnar Axelsson, whose work I have been following for the last 20 years. The story appears on a just-launched, supremely ambitious, really cool site called The Photographic Index, and you can read it here: thephotographicindex.com/blog/the-man...

Today on my IG feed, a few outstanding photographers whose work you might not have seen. Here, a small sample: Alex Harris, Anne Rearick, John Simmons. See the rest on @billshapiro

SOME NEWS. I’ve got a new project. It’s called BluePhoto.co.
We all know how unstable the photo world has become—galleries closing, Instagram chaos, the A.I. shitstorm, etc.—so we created the BluePhoto Collective, a site that values true photographic talent and honest-to-God curation.

Thanks a million, mark!

I was recently interviewed by @eyeshot_magazine about my years at LIFE, how I look at pictures, some of the common missteps I see, and a ton more. (They asked fantastic questions!) Take a look:

Watch.

This is real.

So far…breezy, shallow, entertaining, frustrating.
