I’m heading up to NYC for a quick visit tomorrow (Fri. the 20th). I’ll have my books on me in case any of you purchasers of art out there were interested in seeing my Polling Places Project et al. Share on Facebook

So the wife and I just returned from two wonderful weeks touring Spain and Portugal. I’m not sure that I would classify it as a relaxing vacation (we put close to 1500 miles on our little rental car), but it was a great trip and we saw A LOT of the Iberian Peninsula: Galicia, the [...]

So, I got my first taste of the power of the Internet the other day. My little project about unique polling stations in Philadelphia received a bit of attention on Tuesday after being touted by a few local (and national) bloggers. A big Thank You has to go out to Catherine Lucey (who, in full-disclosure, [...]

Philly Mag’s Design Director Michael McCormick gave me what might’ve been the best assignment ever: shoot photographs of the local beer scene in and around Philadelphia. So began two weeks of hanging with some cool beer writers, brewers and pub owners. Not to mention, the awesome couple of days spent trying to get that perfect [...]

Just a quick note that the Selected and Chosen winners of this year’s American Photo 26 annual have been posted. I’m honored to be included for the 2nd year in a row. You can see my image from the Louvre in Paris in the Chosen gallery: http://www.ai-ap.com/cfe/APss/ If you’d like to see more images from [...]

Got notice via my daily “Ryan Donnell” Google alert this morning (side note: if you’re a creative who licenses his or her imagery, you should have one of these setup) that I had a new clip waiting for me on Smithsonian Magazine’s website. I haven’t seen the physical magazine yet, but I thought I would [...]

Be forewarned that I might get a little sappy here. I’ve been known to do so. The March issue of Philadelphia Magazine marks the end of a small epoch for me. Since November of 2005, I’ve been given the honor of making the opening photograph of the calendar section in Philadelphia Magazine. I haven’t made [...]

Photo by Chris Hamilton. Sweetwater, Texas, rattlesnake round-up. ca. I-Have-No-Idea. WARNING: This is long and rambling. And this is the NY Times article that spawned the rant. 11-years ago, my first job in photography was as a part-time photographer at the Arlington Morning News in Texas, a small suburban paper owned by the Belo Corp., [...]

Went out with my lovely wife while she did some reporting and made a few new images for my Polling Place Project. Unfortunately, my Hasselblad is on bed rest right now after a frightful accident and it couldn’t come off the bench in time for this election cycle, so I’m testing a new digital technique [...]

Tracking down my PECO ad on bus shelters in the hinterlands of suburban Philadelphia was a really difficult endeavor. Shooting a picture of the shelter ad was hazardous, involving a frogger-esque event of running across four lanes of traffic and standing in the road to get a decent angle, but alas, I finally have proof [...]
