It has been a long, hot summer here in the desert. Takes its toll on us sometimes. Creativity can be a little stifled when it is 120 degrees in the shade… heh.

And yeah, I do have a studio to shoot in, but like that old adage about being careful what you wish for, the studio doesn’t hold much interest for me these days. Yes, it is cool to have a full cove and 45′ cyc.

I wish I had inspiration to shoot on a full cove. I really do.

On those days when I am not sure what the hell I am doing, I occasionally call a bud and chat about photography. I love to discuss photography, and images and the entire spectrum of making images.

Here are three of my buds sites, and there are of course others. I will feature them as well at some point, but today it is Steve Korn, Keith Taylor and Jan Klier.

Steve Korn is a photographer in the Seattle area, and his work is editorial and advertising. I love his subtle, and very appealing portraiture. It is quiet photography with an eye for design and color.

Keith Taylor is a great guy and a wonderful photographer in Atlanta. His work is fresh and classic, as he makes images from his heart. Not one to follow trends, Keith makes it look really easy, while bringing a cool aesthetic to his work.

Jan Klier is also from Seattle. He is new to the scene, but making great strides and getting his name out there. I have had the delight of watching him grow, and his new work is quite fresh and remarkable.
