New Post: New Post: Broadway Sings For Aaron Lazar

Broadway stars came out to the Bell Theater in Holmdel, NJ, to help raise money for their friend, Aaron Lazar, who is battling ALS.

"There is not love of life without despair of life." Albert Camus

I've been posting to my blog since late 2008...my latest post, this week's Visual Week In Review newsletter, is now up!

This week, I'm saying good bye to summer, but making the argument September is a great time to reset, refocus and get things done.

Also at on the newsletter this week, a couple of good things from Grant over at UN of Photography; the National Audubon Society Bird Photography Awards; an interesting essay from John Wooten about knowing your value as a creative; another interesting piece, this one by Justin Neuman, about keeping stats about everything - gamification - is risking our creative play time...so stop; a piece over on PetaPixel about a new Harvard photo exhibition with the thought-provoking title "The Way We Never Were"; and looking back at the career of photojournalist Jean-Francois Leroy, who recently passed away.

Also, a photo from Chantel Marie Photography that inspired me and a wonderful Miller Mobley set via Alabama Creates; and some favorite lines I read, coming from the comic book artist Frank Miller autobiography. Stellar read.

All this plus what I'm reading this week (started in on a Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel); what I watched, and what I'm listening to now (Hint: a Jersey Girl now in Nashville).

“There is not love of life, without despair about life.” – Albert Camus Another September starting. Another summer gone. I go “back to school” through my kids. My started her Soph…
