While I’ve never watched The Wire I’ve been interested in the city of Baltimore since I visited a friend there back in 2001. What I never realised from my brief visit is that the city really does seem to have a dark side. Nina Marie is from Maryland and her photos caught my eye because of her photos taken in some of the poorer parts of Baltimore. I’m not a photojournalist – and I admire photographers that risk their personal safety in the pursuit of photographing something interesting.

I decided that it was time to go digital back in 2006. To start, I bought a cheap Olympus digital compact camera. I was so pleased with the results that I never used film again.

Not so much in a technical sense – there’s no way that the quality of an image from the small sensor of a compact camera can match the quality of photos taken with digital SLRs.

Fine Art photographer Jessica Hilltout travelled to the mysterious African island of Madagascar. The stunning results can be seen in her latest body of work, IMPERFECTION.
Beautiful colour…subtle tones….clarity of vision…all of these things attracted me to Jessica Hilltout’s IMPERFECTION series of photos. Then I realised that the photographer was someone that I went to college with. It’s interesting to see how people have progressed since that time, how their photographic vision has matured, what paths their careers have taken, what places they’ve been to.
In college I never thought about the future, or where we would all be in ten years. Jessica’s life journey is particularly interesting because it involves my two passions – travel and photography. And it’s always nice to see someone succeeding. Her photos are beautiful – enjoy them.

I came across Mitchell Kanashkevich’s work after following a link from the Travel Photographer blog and I was blown away by the atmospheric quality of his Sulfur Miners photos. They were so good that I instantly knew that this was a photographer that I wanted to interview. I also recommend that you check out Mitchell’s blog.
