Ed Glazer, founder of Glazer’s Camera in Seattle, died June 8 at the age of 95. Glazer launched his business in 1935, from a location on First Avenue, not far from Pioneer Square. With the goal of becoming Seattle’s finest photography resource, Glazer moved the store to Third Avenue in the 1960s, followed by another move to its current location at Eighth and Republican in the early 90's.

Many internationally known photographers, such as Bob Peterson and Chuck Kuhn, credit Glazer with helping them through the early days of their careers, and recall many...

With the recent passing of photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson at age 95, I had an interesting realization. It was the power of Cartier-Bresson’s work that almost single-handedly influenced me (as I’m sure it did many others) to examine the creative possibilities and opportunities of the medium. I first saw his book, The Decisive Moment, when starting college at age 17, and it changed the course of my life.

As the years passed, I became familiar with the works of many other celebrated shooters, but Cartier-Bresson was the one who remained my model for the kind of photography and photographer I wanted to emulate: a humble observer of humanity adventuring to some of the most interesting and exotic countries...

Can you see me now? The high points and hang-ups of cell phone cameras.

I finally found at least one reason to have a camera in my cell phone. Recently, my wife gave me a shopping list that included some knee-high stockings. The description on the list didn’t match anything on the shelves, so I called her to get more information. She gave me a better description, but I still couldn’t find what she wanted.

It then occurred to me: “I wish I could send her a picture of the products on the shelves so she could choose...

Find out how this digital photography pioneer claw his way to the top of the greeting card industry with his inventive, whimsical and furry animal creations.

His chickens don't just cross the road, they blast along it as speed-demon motorcycle mamas, leaving a trail of feathers behind their black leather. A demure white rabbit shoots skyward on a red pogo stick. A cat can water-ski, ride a bicycle and, yes, even wield a chainsaw or a whip (the latter as a dominatrix in tall black boots and a merry-widow corset).

Sound kinky and silly, and impossible to shoot? Welcome to the animal antics world of John Lund (johnlund.com), a studio photographer and digital imaging pioneer whose zany creations have spawned an empire of highly successful greeting cards, books, calendars, posters and gift merchandise such as mugs, figurines, frames, magnets, jigsaw puzzles and stationery...

Chris Jordan's industrial ode to American consumerism.

Thousands of people pass by them every day in most major cities – auto junkyards, mountains of shipping containers, the rusted piles of relics at the end of their life cycles. Few people even notice their existence. Seattle-based photographer Chris Jordan wants to change that.

These images from the half-forgotten industrial graveyards of south Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., are the beginnings of an ongoing photographic series by Jordan in which he attempts to illustrate the unintended effects of a runaway consumerist society. Rather than bludgeoning the viewer with bleak and ugly vistas of chaotic debris, Jordan finds bright colors and bold geometric patterns within the detritus, revealing a hidden and sinister beauty behind the blight...

Winter has a way of transforming even the most recognizable places into fairy-tale fantasies almost overnight. Just turn down the temperature a few degrees and the lush greenery of Oregon's famous Multnomah Falls suddenly resembles a scene out of Norse mythology. Photographer Janis Miglavs captured this frosty image with his medium-format Mamiya 645 camera, using Provia 100 film, during an unusually cold winter in the Portland area. "This is one of the most visited, most photographed tourist spots in the whole state of Oregon," he says. "But on that day, I was the only one around. I never saw any footprints. It was just this wonderland of snow and ice."

Miglavs is a well known adventure travel photographer who has seen some of the most exotic lands on the planet...

Photography business tips from ASMP’s executive director Eugene Mopsik.

I’m 11 years old, standing with my family at the rim of the Grand Canyon at sunset. I can’t take my eyes off the landscape, and I marvel at the beauty of the light. What’s my father doing? He’s furiously operating a Super-8 movie camera and an Argus 35mm still camera, racing against the clock.

Fast-forward several years. Inspired by my father’s hobby, I graduate from the University of Pennsylvania in the spring of 1970 and declare myself a photographer, albeit with no formal photography education and ...
