    143: Jake and the Bridge
    Mar 31 2025
    Photographer Jake Ricker has spent six years shooting the Golden Gate Bridge nearly every day — not as a single project, but as a daily commitment to seeing the familiar in new ways. His work isn’t just landscape or iconic structure photography: it’s an interior view of a shared landmark filtered through lived experience and constant presence.

    141: Wallace Wilson and the Victims of Paradox
    Sep 5 2024
    I've long been fascinated by the photographs made by Wallace "Wally" Wilson in the 1970s-1980s; he was a professor of photography at the University of Florida when I was a kid, alongside other historic faculty like Jerry Uelsmann, Evon Streetman, Doug Prince, and Todd Walker. Wilson was part of an exciting time in the history of photography, as well as being a cool example of what I would describe as "haiku photography" -- although he would never have described his work that way.
