Richard Mosse is one of my new favorite photographers. I’ve been looking at his work lately and found he made this video from his Iraq coverage. I’d love to see something like this in an exhibition format.
He also has a recent series from the Congo where he shot using Kodak Aerochrome infrared film. Absolutely captivating stuff. You can see it all at his website.

Another one of my favorite minimalist photographers on Flickr. This guy’s stream is diverse, but there’s plenty of beautiful simplicity mixed in. The above is just his most recent photograph. This is another one of my favorites.
I took some photos out around some fields of corn end of July. They’re gone now, so not sure I got anything I liked, but at least I took pictures while they were up.
In preparation for a quarter abroad in Hong Kong, I figured now was the time to get a competent laptop on which I could Photoshop in addition to my usual online and entertainment activities. I had a few requirements in mind: Core i3 or better processor, dedicated/discrete graphics, and 4GBs of RAM, all for under $800. I was on the hunt for a few weeks before settling on the MSI FX600.
Really digging this image by Philip Dembinski. The light just creates this whole mystique about the scene, despite what is otherwise a mundane set piece. Be sure to check his website, linked above.
I am selling off a bunch of excess prints I have around the house/in the portfolio to earn a bit of cash, and also just to clean out unnecessary stuff. There are close to two hundred prints, of all shapes and sizes, loose and mounted, and conditions of varying quality – scratched, dented, undamaged, bad color matching, etc. I’ve got the first 50 or so up now and will be adding more each day.
As such, everything is being sold for either $1, $3, or $5, plus shipping. US domestic orders only, shipping rates are as follows (sorry it’s so confusing, but I couldn’t figure out a better way to handle this):
All payments will be through PayPal, or cash if you’re picking up direct. Prints will be reserved for up to 1 week until payments are received and cleared. Also, I can’t take returns/make refunds outside of extenuating circumstances, so please be advised. All prints with images, specific notes (such as damage, mounting, size), and corresponding ID numbers, are listed after the break.
You must send an email to prints [at] andrewhefter.com listing the ID number(s) of the prints you would like. Everything is on first come, first serve basis.
Everything is signed, some prints may have dates, and most prints are either borderless or have a 1-2 inch border. All mounting is on white foam core, and all matting is with white matboard, unless otherwise noted. The majority of prints are $1 and $3, depending on size. The few $5 prints are both large and virtually undamaged. No prints have major rips, tears, or severe defects on the image itself, and most prints, unless otherwise noted, have some degree of scratching and minor denting (usually noticeable only under direct light). When appropriate, specific damage has been indicated – you can ask for further details on a specific print through email. This sale is indefinite until everything is gone (or I determine nobody wants my prints). Thank you for your support!
It has been a while since I’ve posted anyone else’s work besides my own – one of the points of having this blog was to share the works of those that inspire me, and not just post photos that don’t make it into my portfolio. So I’ll be making postings of “inspirations” again, hopefully multiple items daily. Comment or email your own inspirations or favorite photographers/artists and I might put ‘em up on the blog.
I’ve had nuclearjazz in my contact list for a little while. He/she doesn’t post often, but each of their works is exceptionally deft in minimalism and elegance. Be sure to view the rest of nuclearjazz’s photostream on Flickr.
July was a pretty lazy month for me. I did get out a couple times though and started doing more New Topographic style work around my neighborhood. I’m hoping to fit more shooting in before I leave in September.
I spent my final day in Venice and Italy with a few friends from the trip who were staying some extra time on the island of Lido. The town we went to was Alberoni.
One more post of Venice after this one. It’s been a little over a month now since the trip. This post is actually a combo of two days. Essentially, at this point in the trip, I had reached the limits of my mental capacity for information and constant exploration. But that didn’t mean I didn’t stop appreciating the place.
