One of the things I enjoy most about the images from regular contributor Chris Suspect is the way his photographs make me ask questions that have no answers. For example, “What the…” or “How the…” This image is no exception. Stacked on top of a pretty seaside backdrop, the layers of this photo are bizarre and funny. We can only imagine what was playing out in real life, but the photo is likely much more interesting than the reality.

Jim Darling’s Portraits
A snapshot of a another person is a simple takeaway of a moment, meant to capture a passing second of time. A portrait is more special. A portrait can share insight about the subject, and the photographer. Jim Darling’s portrait work shares with the viewer a deeper sense of the subject and of himself.

In Frame: October 7, 2013
Photographer Tony Ibarra took advantage of being high over his subjects to capture these long shadows. The result is that the shadows are far more interesting in the frame than the people themselves.
