@bmoreawaire Perfect.

Today Ken Potts turns 102! Happy Birthday, Ken. Ken is one of two living survivors from the USS Arizona. I photographed him at his home in Provo, back in September when he was only 101 years old.

@CCH360 @SundanceResort Holy toledo! What a wild scene.

A friend just shared this with me. Avalanche at @SundanceResort. Just now.

@emmaspacelynn That's so funny.

When someone emails “we just need a few shots” my experience is that (generalization alert) what they're really saying is, "we want you to give us really good work and the high quality you always give, but we just don’t want to pay for the process it takes to get there."

"We tend to think of the artist's work as the output. The real work of the artist is a way of being in the world." - Rick Rubin from his book The Creative Act.

Portrait workshop this Saturday and I'm so excited. Still a couple spots left if you have an interest. More info here: justinhackworth.com/workshop2023

@provocity If a person has a power line that is down and hanging loose in their backyard, and that person calls to let the city know so it can be repaired, how many days will typically go by before it gets repaired?

March 25, The Authentic Portrait Workshop where I'll teach you how to add more heart and life to your portraits so they stir others and live long in their memory. All the info is here: justinhackworth.com/workshop2023 If you feel like your current work could use improvements, join us!

My 11th year working on this project I enjoy, I take self portraits on my birthday, as many portraits as the age I'm turning. Yesterday I made 55 self portraits and here's the link if you care to take a look. justinhackworth.com/blog/self-port…

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” – Aaron Siskind

"Man, when you lose your laugh, you lose your footing." -- Ken Kesey from One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

Photographer Buck Ellison creates staged images, fictions, to show the lives of ultra wealthy. I gotta say, these images make me uncomfortable - artreview.com/buck-ellison-a…
