Heads Up: Photography Posts Are Back

by Jonathan Blaustein

Well, hello there!

Fancy meeting you in a blog like this?

How’s it going?

Did the summer treat you well?

(I’m asking because I want to know, so feel free to drop your response in the comment section, or hit me up on social media, should you care to.)

I got to photograph Lil Mike and Funnybone in early August, which was a highlight of my summer.

Today’s blog is all about getting back up onto the horse.

I feel like that’s what I did on the last post, (maybe a month ago,) but since I’m the boss, I’ll take any complaints under advisement.

As to what I’m here for today, it’s mostly to give you a preview of where things are headed this fall.

And the answer is… back to photography posts.


On Monday, for the first time this year, I participated in an online portfolio review event, for LACP. (An organization with whom I’ve done a bunch of collabs over the years.)

I must admit, it was different, re-engaging with the process after a 9 month break, but different in a good way.

All the work I’ve done on myself these past six months, (largely out of the public eye,) meant I was more patient, happy, and engaged than I’ve been in quite some time.

Lots of new things, since I last wrote, including my son becoming the kicker for the Taos Tigers. (So we went to our first game on Saturday.)

Back at the portfolio review…

…watching the photographers get visibly pumped up (on their computer screens,) as I offered motivational, inspirational, creative advice, reminded me that I still feel a deep connection to photography and photographers.

And fortunately, I saw a few really cool projects.

So over the course of autumn, I’m going to share some portfolios with you, and introduce a handful of artists.

(Like I used to do back at A Photo Editor.)

The truth is, there is a dearth of photography related content these days, so we’ll use Sunshine and Olly to help arrest the decline.

There’s your heads up, and hope all is well.
