Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

And then all of a sudden, next is now.

This afternoon will officially be my last shoot in association with Redux Pictures, who I've had the pleasure of working with for three years. I've decided to leave the agency for a lot of reasons - personal, practical, and professional - but I will always have a ton of respect and love for the wonderful people there. Many thanks to you all, and I'm sure we'll be in touch (god knows photography is a small world!).

At some point in the future I'll try to use this change as an opportunity to discuss the role of agencies in the editorial market, and my thoughts about what makes the relationship between agency and photographer so complicated. But right now I'm still just trying to let it all sink in and sort through my plans.

Soaring many thousands of feet above the Gulf of Mexico last night, on our way back from a quick trip to L.A., the girlfriend was asleep on my shoulder and jazz was in my ear. Being out West with Judy was a great way to find some perspective and peace after a couple of weeks of distraction, and I felt like I'm returning home (to a really busy week) with a buzz and energy about moving forward.

And since change is in the air, I'm also happy to unveil another new project of sorts that I've been slowly working on for the last few months. There is still a ton of work to be done for sure, but here is a very small taste of the new wing of JLPFL headquarters devoted to advertising and commercial photography. There will be much more to come on this development. All in good time...
