I’m very pleased to have finally launched a new website!

The site includes a very small preview of some new work in-progress, a commission for the High Museum of Art‘s “Picturing the South” series, of which I’m absolutely honored to be involved in. Past commissioned artists include Emmet Gowin, Sally Mann, Richard Misrach, Dawoud Bey, Alex Webb and Alec Soth. An exhibition will be on view at the museum in 2012 with newly commissioned works by myself, Martin Parr and Kael Alford.

In addition to the design update, the new site now seamlessly integrates the / Journal – something I’ve been meaning to do for a long, long time.

If you have a moment, take a look around and feel free leave a comment on this post with your thoughts.

The Photography Post is a new website that aims to deliver the most current discussions on the state of photography by featuring live feeds from various fine art, commercial and fashion photography websites/blogs.

Along with the nicely designed “Live Feeds” display (which updates regularly with the latest posts), visitors to the site can sign up for an account to keep track of their favorite feeds. It’s a great idea that has been implemented in other forms already but never with such a clean design or with such fine people on board.

In addition to the live feeds, Editors Rachel Hulin and Kate Steciw as well as Publisher Danielle Franca Swift will be contributing original content to the site’s own blog as well as their Museum of Online Photography Collections.

Lots to see, so get to it.

There are only two days left to bid on the works in Daniel Cooney‘s latest Emerging Artists Auction. Again, some of the highlights from the photography section include Alexander Binder, Alison Malone, Grant Willing, Aaron McElroy, Bob O’Connor, Jake Stangel, Lyndsy Welgos, Noel Rodo-Vankeulen as well as one of my own.

Browse all of the works here.

The auction ends on February 4th.

Photo-eye Magazine just published The Best Books of 2009, which brings together the selections of 25 prominent photographers, bookmakers, editors, publishers and critics. I’m happy to say that Lay Flat 01: Remain in Light was one of the featured titles, selected by Daniel Espeset (Contributing Editor at Photo-eye).

Have a look at all of the selections here.

Artist Book Database, “an online database of artist books, zines, catalogues and independent publications,” was just launched by David Schoerner (of Hassla Books). The website, which is updated daily, now has over 500 titles and 250 artists and looks to be a excellent, growing resource.

If you have a book to add to the database, write to info [at] artistbookdatabase.org

I think my nerdiness just reached new heights… say hello to Stereogram Tetris.

Tim Barber‘s online curatorial project Tiny Vices just got a fresh new design, and with it some cleaning up. At the moment there are just three portfolios from photographers Aaron Huey, Asger Carlsen and Michele Abeles. Don’t worry, though, all of the old content will return! As Tim writes,

For the re-launch I’m going to re-introduce all the content on the site bit by bit, day by day, along with new content, updated portfolios and other posts. So everything from the old site will get re-posted over the next few weeks/months…

Don’t miss the links page as well, which has become quite the photographic resource.

Well done, Tim.

Photographer Taryn Simon gave a TED Talk last month which worth checking out if you’re interested in either her An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar or The Innocents projects.
