Jeremy Photos
I keep getting asked for them, so here they are: more Jeremy photos!
Flopping Ruins Soccer
One thing that drives me nuts about soccer — I mean other than the fact that I find it incredibly boring to watch (and, to put that in perspective, this is coming from someone who loves to watch baseball) — is when players fake being tripped (“flopping”) in order to try to draw a penalty …
Modestly Competent Photography
How to Shoot People (and Places and Things) The first two [photos] I showed in class this evening … were technically passable but artistically bland.
