Well...CEP has been on a bit of a hiatus as we celebrate the birth of our new little (All are doing great, thanks be to God!)...

That said, I couldn't resist the latest trend. Accurate right down to the Danner Mountain boots! 😆 🤣 😂

Attention all Art enthusiasts and curious souls!
You've likely seen the viral TikTok by now, but how much do you really know about the artists or this fascinating piece? Brace yourself for an extraordinary journey into the depths of human struggle and sacrifice with "Can't Help Myself: A Profound Exploration of Struggle and Sacrifice" or, as I call it, "La Macchina che Sanguina" (The Machine that Bleeds).

Prepare to be shocked, stunned and as some have experienced...even moved to tears (Just hopefully not by my writing:).
Sun Yuan and Peng Yu's mesmerizing installation was an absolute masterpiece that will ignite your emotions and challenge your perception of existence. At its core, this artwork showcases a robot arm, brimming with symbolism, fighting to contain its leaking hydraulic fluid, which sustains its very being. The battle for survival unfolds before your eyes, as every drop of precious fluid becomes a matter of life and death.

In a 15-minute read that will leave you pondering the human condition, "Can't Help Myself" delves into the profound questions that arise from our struggle for survival and the sacrifices we make along the way. It's a profound reflection on the battle we all face, the challenges that shape us, and the haunting beauty found in our imperfections.

Discover the captivating story behind this extraordinary piece by following the link below. Prepare to be immersed in a world where art meets existential contemplation. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with one of the most thought-provoking installations of our time!

Remember, great art moves us, challenges us, and leaves an indelible mark on our souls. Share this with your fellow art enthusiasts, ignite discussions, and let the world know about this awe-inspiring experience. Together, we can appreciate the beauty that lies within the struggle.

Looking for a good, "Sunday morning over coffee" kind of story that combines old Americana, historic authors, nostalgia, and fantastic pictures?
Look no further!

Alongside my passion for photography, I've also been honing my writing skills for quite some time too, and I'm excited to share my latest Medium piece with you all! It's a photo essay, and in it, I take you on a twenty-year mission to find a very special typewriter, and it's a journey that's seemed at times both Kafka-esque and yet ultimately fulfilling. So if you're looking for a great read and want to learn more about this particular vintage typewriter, head over to my Medium story, below! Plus, you'll get to enjoy some really great pictures too!

Hey everyone, have you ever heard of Kodachrome 25 film?
It's a classic film stock from Kodak that's been discontinued for a while now, but it still holds a very special place in the hearts of many photographers.

So, I recently wrote a Medium post (linked below) about how to recreate the iconic look of Kodachrome 25 using Adobe Lightroom. Check it out to see some of the more famous photos shot on this film, as well as some of my own street photography from Martha's Vineyard that I edited using this clone recipe.

And if you're interested in purchasing prints of any of my work, or even hosting a showing at your gallery, coffee shop, hotel, or restaurant, feel free to contact me through this page or via my Linktree (https://direct.me/clifforderich).

Elliot Erwitt is the reason I found, love and shoot street photography. I am so happy he is still with us, and still shooting in his 90's!
This is a lifetime retrospective put together by the Musée Maillol museum in Paris. I wish I could see this in person....

The Maillol Museum in Paris devotes a stunning retrospective to the iconic American photographer Elliot Erwitt, and to Magnum Agency he had worked with. The exhibition takes us through a full career made up of moments of fun and turning points in history.
