NEW Q&A: Is it time to stop assisting?
While the becoming a photographer doesn’t have the clear career progression some professions do, there is an ideal order to things: assist your idols and eventually leave the nest when you’re ready.

Offensive Legos?
Just because you can take a photo of something, doesn’t mean you should… or that it’s a good photo. I recently ran across Mike Stimpson’s images on the Daily Beast.
