Two of my photos have been selected for a juried show at the Vermont Photo Space called "Scene on the Street" (if you're viewing this post after the exhibition, the link may no longer point to the right place). The juror for the exhibition is Ed Kashi, a photojournalist whose work I deeply respect. The exhibition opens Dec. 13, 2010, but the reception will be on Dec. 19, 2010 at 3pm. Vermont Photo Space is located at 12 Main St., Essex Junction, Vermont. There are a couple of friends in the exhibition as well. Peter McCollough will have 3 pictures on the walls, and Peter Hoffman will have 1 in the show.

My photo of a dog butcher in Yangshuo, China, was featured as part of a discussion on eating dog meat in China on Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish blog for the Atlantic. Thanks to Chris, Katie, and the rest of the crew behind the scenes at the Atlantic. Long a favorite magazine--I've subscribed on and off (off when I'm out of the country) since high school--I'm glad to know there's such a great team behind the magazine.

I'm honored to be featured in the latest issue of 100Eyes magazine, China: The Past is a Foreign Country. Curator Andy Levin contacted me a few weeks ago looking for stories for the issue, and I thought China Everbright would be a perfect fit. This issue of the magazine is big, and it's been getting a great reception so far. I was very excited to see my image on the cover! Above, you'll find a few of the images included from my essay in the issue. Also included in the issue is excellent work by the following friends and colleagues: James Whitlow Delano, Markel Redondo, Katharina Hesse, Ryan Pyle, Xiqi Yuang, Wayne Liu, Carolyn Drake, Rian Dundon, Tim Franco, Eric Guo, Christian Als and Holly Wilmeth.

Thanks to Pete Brook, late of Prison Photography, Photography Prison, and Wired's Raw File, for including dvafoto in his coverage of the photography blogging community. Read the article, and learn about all the great blogs that are required reading. Dvafoto, a collaboration between co-conspirator Matt Lutton and I, has been a challenging and interesting project. What started as a place for Matt and I to post our work when we were just starting to make pictures garnering just a few visitors everyday (mostly friends and family) has blossomed into something of indeterminate size and scope with 100,000 readers a year. Since we've known each other, we've been emailing each other links to interesting projects, our thoughts on new work, and our own work--we thought others might be interested in what we were talking about. I never imagined that it would get as big as it has. We've both met so many people and had so many opportunities come out of our humble blog. I can't be thankful enough to our readers. We aren't done, either.

My thanks go out to Darcy at the New York Times National picture desk for calling me a few weeks ago to cover an interesting story brewing in Helena, Montana, on the subject of changes to the school district's curriculum guidelines regarding sexual education, anti-bully measures, and issues relating to homosexuality. You can see the story on the New York Times website. The shoot was challenging for a number of reasons: the main action of the story had happened a month before the shoot, many players in the story were unwilling to be photographed or go on record, many were unwilling to meet anywhere but a bagel shop (one subject wouldn't let a New York Times reporter in their house), school was out of session on the scheduled day of the shoot, the superintendent, who was the driving force behind the curriculum, was unavailable for pictures. Nevertheless, I feel the shoot was successful. I've also posted a few of the outtakes in the recent work section of this website.
