JPG EARLY ISSUES
JPG Magazine
In January of 2005, Derek Powazek and Heather Powazek Champ
ignited a spark. They saw an opportunity in the quality of images on
photo sharing sites like flickr.com; they saw unrecognized capability

of the 6" x 9" paperbacks was arranged through a print-on-demand
website so that Derek and Heather could put this collection together
on their own, as a labor of love, with the community contributing an
enormous pool of great images.
JPG has come a long way since its beginnings. JPG is now printed by
8020 Publishing six-times each year as a full-sized magazine delivered
to subscribers and newsstands around the world. Over a million
community votes were cast on 10,000 photos and stories submitted
to the last issue. But the creative energy, the talented community, the
passion for showcasing excellent work: all of these elements originated
in the Early Issues and continue on today. From Issue 1: Origin to Issue
6: Oops, this collection embodies the spirit of the fun in photography:
the moment, the capture, the creativity, the experiment, the accident.
The Early Issues served as the inspiration for the magazine and
community that would follow, and we hope you enjoy them.

tHE FIRSt PHotoBLoGGER?
An IntERvIEw wItH EMILIE vALEntInE
There are thousands of photoblogs on
the web – sites dedicated to personal
photography that post new images every
day. Part photo portfolios, part visual
journals, photoblogs hold some of the
best new photo work online.
In 1995, there were no photoblogs. The
word “blog” hadn’t even been coined
yet. But there was Snap City – Emilie
Valentine’s oft-updated site of photos
from San Francisco and New York City. In a time when most people
didn’t know what the web was, and the photographers who did were
afraid to give it a try, Emilie was shooting, printing, scanning, and
uploading her work for 14.4k modems everywhere.
Was her site the origin of photoblogs? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure:
Today’s photobloggers could learn a thing or two from her experience.
We asked Emilie to answer a few questions on the web, photography,
and the origin of memory.
JPG: Tell us about the birth of Snap City.
Emilie: I was working as a webmaster for a San Francisco company
and SnapCity was created as a feature on their site in 1995. I created a
“Snapshots of San Francisco” section providing visitors with a peek into
the city. It quickly grew into a site of its own. At some point it’s name
changed from “Snapshots of San Francisco” to “SnapCity” but it was
always the same project.
The site’s popularity is what kept it alive. I loved doing it, but it was
the dialogue that it created that continued to fuel the project. There
was no way to keep up with the correspondence I received, but reading
mail every day about someone’s reaction to a particular image – or the
site or how it motivated them with their photography – was great. I
didn’t know of other sites like it at the time, but would often hear from
other photographers saying: I’m gong to start a SnapCity in London or
Amsterdam or Chicago or wherever.

What was it like running a photo site in 1995?
The theme of our first issue is “origin.” What does that word
mean to you?

Some origins are thrust upon us, some we
choose. For our Origin issue, we wanted to
feature a photographer whose work explored
what it means to really be from somewhere.
For Noah Grey, that means documenting his
new home, California, where his life started
over.
ARtISt StAtEMEnt
Standing with my bare feet in the wet sand,
looking at the ocean for the first time in
my life, I knew I belonged here. The life I
have, as I now know it and love it, started
that day. I wasn’t born here in California, but
it is where I feel my life began – and every
new side of California that I’ve seen since,
every aspect of its silliness and sublimity, its
gaudiness and its grandeur, its wildness and
its warmth, brings me back to that first day at
the ocean, the day when I first knew just how
full life could be. These photographs are all
taken in, and represent different aspects of,
my California – my true origin – my home.

ISSUE 2
LOST


JPG MAGAzInE ISSUE 2: LoSt
You know the feeling. You’ve got someplace to be and it’s getting
late. The sun is setting and you can’t quite read the map. The light is
green and the cars behind you are honking. Face it, you’re lost.
But the word “lost” means more than that. It describes a unique state
of being. A bad feeling in the pit of your stomach. A class of people.
Coming in second place in a game of horseshoes.
We wondered, what does all that look like?
For Issue 2 of JPG Magazine, we present 43 photographic
interpretations of the word “lost.” And each tells a different story.
From the political (Erik Olsen and Joshua Mitchell, pages 18-19) to
the automotive (Grace Szekeres and Erica Shires, pages 24-25), to the
distressed (Sam Javanrouh and Travis LaFleur, pages 38-39).
We’re also thrilled to present six photographs from our featured
photographer, Ryan Keberly (pages 26-33), whose photos of the
dispossessed on the streets of Detroit are direct, powerful, and
emotional. And finally, on pages 48-53, is our interview with Adriene
Hughes, who is using her photography to document her battle with
cancer and allowed us to publish some of her most intimate photo
diary entries.
Together, we hope this issue paints a more complete picture of what
it means to be lost. We encourage you to linger on each photograph
as we have and imagine the stories behind the images.
And may all who feel lost someday be found.
– Derek & Heather

Ryan Keberly’s work is proof that
sometimes the most powerful thing
in the world is the simplest: Just
saying hello. His photographs of
people on the streets of Detriot
capture a community that is often
discussed as a block – “the homeless”
– and not as individual people. Far
from anonymous street photography,
Ryan engages with his subjects, asks
for their stories, and listens. The
result is a reminder that no one is too
lost to say hello to.

An IntERvIEw wItH AdRIEnE HUGHES BY dEREk PowAzEk
There’s very little I can say to introduce this interview without falling
into cancer clichés. Words like “bravery” and “courage” fall too easily
without meaning enough. So I’ll just say this: Adriene Hughes is going
to kick cancer’s ass, and she’s using a camera and a website to help do
it. You can follow her journey in the excerpts from her photo journal at
left and ongoing at softservegirl.com.
When did you start taking photos? When did you start your
website?
I started taking photographs 14 years ago when I signed up for
a photography course at a local junior college. It was immediate
pleasure, the instant gratification of the silver-gelatin print. I started
my photoblog site in April of 2003 in response to my own internal

before Thanksgiving. Two weeks later I had my breast removed and
reconstructed with a temporary implant. I wasn’t sure what those
two weeks were about as it is still a blur, but I began to document my
visitations to each and every appointment: the barium drink, the chest
-ray, the bone scan, the cancer surgeon, the oncologist, the plastic
surgeon, and even the signing of the surgery papers.
Every technician, doctor, nurse, and patient in the waiting room
seemed more than willing to be a part of that process. Everyone was
supportive. Three days before the surgery I finally had the time to post
an image of “Mr. Spots” who marked the spot on my breast during the
MRI. Mr. Spots denoted where my cancer lived. And that was the start
of something I have no regret sharing.

What’s next?
Though I fantasize about my future, it seems a vision such a long way
away. I wish I could say I have grand prospects. But mostly my plans
for the future are simple: returning to ballet class, being able to read
without having headaches, and having wonderful meals that I can
actually taste!
I am excited to be a part of a group venture this summer for young
women Middle to High School age who are learning documentary
filmmaking. The San Diego Women Film Foundation will be adding
photography to its range of documentary arts. And I will be their
teacher. I cannot tell you how excited I am to be teaching photography
to young women still nestled in the crux of their youth. The ability to
photograph one’s life, externally and internally, is without a doubt the
most powerful tool to freedom. Freedom to exercise one’s life through
the lens is empowerment of the mind and soul. And in my case it has
certainly proven to be true.
First Day of Chemo, 01.06.05

Today is the first day of many days to come where tubes will be connected to my
arm, and a delicate poison sweet something will pass through my body to kill
the possibility of fast growing cells. A fast growing cell has many faces: it is a
cancer cell. It is also the hair on your head and the lining within the stomach and
digestive track. That is why hopefully any cancer traversing through a person’s
blood system will be killed by the application of chemo, and along with it the hair
on your head and the lining of your stomach. Sweet something is what I call it.
That sweet something will be something in no time, letting itself be known better
than any lover’s arm wrapped tightly around one’s waist. I cannot lie and tell
you that I hold no fear. I am afraid of the unknown, the side effects, the place
of limbo in which I will live for the next four months of my life. How will I
change because of this? Who will I become during this time? Will I lie in my bed,
face up, counting the spots on the ceiling or will I see visions of my life for the
value of how it should be lived from this moment on? My physical therapist is a
Buddhist. He treats me twice a week. His hands rub cream on my back while we
discuss “fear.” He tells me fear should be acknowledged, to not shove the thought
away but rather look at fear directly and ask by choice for a place of acceptance.
It has taken me days to understand, conceptually, how to ask, and I am still not
sure if I understand. So today I ask My Fear to walk with me, our hands clasped
like soldiers in conflict. Please sit with me in the light of a stark desert and blow
your gentle winds in the direction of the northern star so the twinkle of sweet
something will only be a twinkle, and not the big bang of celestial beginnings,
demanding, mystical and overbearing.

JPG MAGAzInE ISSUE 3: FABULoUS
Our last issue was, let’s face it, a bit heavy. As themes go, “Lost” is a
word that doesn’t inspire many happy songs.
For this issue, we wanted to do something more upbeat – something
that focused on the joy of life. So we asked you to tell us what you
saw in the word “fabulous.” And the response was clear. Like soylent
green, it’s people.
From Erica Shires’ take on Dorothy on page 12, to Ben Hays’
summertime spin on page 37, to Edward Thompson’s chicken man on
page 39, it’s the people in our lives that make the world fabulous.
But fabulous doesn’t just mean “good.” Fabulous is a state of mind.
It’s about noticing the little things that take you out of the ordinary.
Like Michael Cobra’s Laundromat on page 14 and Gautam Naranng’s
bling on page 20.
And what could be more fabulous than inviting your friends over and
turning them into rock stars? That’s what our featured photographer
Robin Jean did. The resulting portraits make even the most ordinary
people seem fabulous – and to prove it, she did us, too. (See below.)
We hope this issue of JPG Magazine inspires you to notice the little
details that make your life fabulous.

RockStARS
BY FEAtUREd PHotoGRAPHER RoBIn JEAn
The Rockstar series began when one night, out of
boredom, I started playing around with studio lights
and taking pictures of myself. After snapping a few,
I realized just how fabulous they were and emailed
all of my closest friends to come over and become a
“rockstar.” Soon more and more people were lining up.
The Rockstar series was shot half in my home studio
San Francisco, and half at Quixote Studios in LA.

NO ThEME


JPG MAGAzInE ISSUE 4: no tHEME
This issue marks the end of the first year of JPG Magazine. To
celebrate, we cast off the shackles of our usual theme and invited
submissions on any topic. Just send us your favorite shot of 2005, we said.
But the funny thing is, themes emerged anyway: everything from
water (Veanne Cao, page 8) to family (Bryan Boyce, page 37) to youth
(Jamie Goodridge, page 56). But the overall theme seemed to be
memory. Whether it’s remembering the fallen (Deborah Lattimore,
page 42) or just marking time (John Carleton, page 36), photography
is all about remembering. Why else do we click the shutter than to
say, this is a thing I will not forget?
Memory means more than simply recording. Our memories are
fuzzy and subjective. That’s why we asked Kevin Meredith to be our
featured photographer for this issue (page 24). His photos are as
saturated and evocative as our own favorite memories.
For this issue’s interview, we decided to talk to Youngna Park and
Zack Klein about their photographic and social experiment, Candy
Cane for Your Portrait. Their experience shows that when you’re
making memories, you’re rarely alone.
For us, this issue marks the end of a wonderful first year of JPG
Magazine. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase these
photos. Thank you for reading, for pouring over these images as we
have, and for participating in the magazine. And, of course, thank
you to all the amazing photographers who submitted their work this
year. We wish we could have printed every one.
We’ve learned a lot making JPG this year, and we’ve got some
exciting things in store for year two. Until then, just keep shooting.

kEvIn MEREdItH
The way I shoot really changed when I got my
first compact camera, the Lomo LCA, in 1998.
I got it from the London lomo ambassador,
Fabian Monheim, a strange but friendly man.
Back then, when you got a Lomo, you didn’t
just buy it online. It was like joining a cult. I
started attending the lomo events and taking
part in the competitions, which really taught
me to stop thinking about what I was doing.
When I take a photo, I’m never thinking about
the narrative behind it or any hidden meaning.
I’m just capturing a moment that might
otherwise be forgotten. I’m just thinking of the
shot. I believe the rest will follow.
I have friends now who are studying for
photography degrees and ask me the meaning
behind my images. I can’t give an answer. They
are what they are, and you can take from them
what you want.

Photography of people is an inherently social process. You can’t
take a camera out in public without someone asking what you’re
doing. So why not include the audience in the fun? One day last
December, Youngna Park and Zach Klien did just that. They put up
a sign that simply said “Candy cane for your portrait” on a wall in

was wonderful: a parade of people passed in front of their lenses, got
a candy cane, and walked away happy. We loved the portraits, so we
asked then a couple questions about themselves and the project. We
hope that their story will inspire more street corner photo shoots.
JPG: Hi! Please tell us a little bit about yourselves.

Youngna: I grew up in this small town in upstate New York
called Niskayuna, which means “field of corn.” My parents
gave me a camera for college graduation in May, 2004. I’d
never taken photography seriously before – just your average
snapshots. I was accepted to a PHD program at Brown, but
took a year off and just started exploring New York City
through pictures. I’ve been taking photos for about a year and
a half now. I’m still not at grad school.
Zach: I am 23 and I live in Downtown Manhattan. I’ve wanted
to make photographs ever since I took my first airplane flight
as a kid and saw everything from above. It felt like looking in
a mirror and realizing for the first time that you were seeing
yourself. My parents gave me a Nikon SLR before I left for
college and I’ve had a camera on my hip ever since.

“notHInG to SEE HERE.”
I was walking past a theatre in Sydney before the opening of a new
Hollywood film attended by various stars. More interested in the crowd
than the celebrities, I framed the watchers and snapped a photo.
“Move along please, sir,” said a security guard.
“Yep, okay, just let me take a couple more photos of the crowd and I’ll
be on my way,” I said, smiling as diplomatically as possible.
“No, you’re blocking the footpath, please move along.”
We were standing at the edge of the widest space available, on a public
footpath. I considered arguing, but I just stood my ground and said
something about it being a lawful activity.
As I raised my camera to continue shooting, the guard moved to block
my photo and snap.
“Thanks for that,” I said, with a smile. The guard then called over a
nearby policeman to complain.
I explained my intentions. The officer thought for two seconds and
said, “Yep, take your photos and then move along.” Which is what I’d
wanted to do all along.

onE BUSH StREEt, SAn FRAncISco was built in 1959 and is a testament to modern
architecture. The building is a delicately arranged composition of glass, steel
and aluminum. Its shining accomplishment is a small jewel box lobby that
looks magical at night.
On July 27, 2005, I was shooting it when a security guard came out of the
little jewel box and asked me to stop. I was taken aback. Who would want
to hide this architectural beauty? I left the property and began shooting
from the street instead. Again, security guard told me to stop.
I’ve had my share of run-ins with security guards, but this was the
first time I’d actually been told to stop shooting from a public street. The
guard followed me around, putting his hands in front of my camera, and
threatening to call the police. One thing I’ve learned about myself over the
years is that telling me not to do something only makes me want it nore. I
got all the shots I wanted and left.
The next day I talked about my experience on my website, and the story

dozens of photographers showed up to shoot the building. By this time, the
incident had received a tremendous amount of attention and the building’s
security did nothing to prevent the photos.
So often we photographers are told that we can’t shoot things, and many
of us oblige without a second thought. But it’s important to remember that
we live in a free country with a free press and that we challenge authority
figures when they overstep their bounds. I did get my night photograph,
as shown here, but I also got a lot more. It was a victory for photographers
over yet another over zealous security guard, and a reminder of our rights.

photographing some storefronts on Main Street when a woman came out of
the jewelry store, stomped over to me, and demanded to know what I was
taking pictures of. I asked why, and she told me that the jewelry store had a
no photography policy. I told her that photography was my hobby, and any
policy held by the jewelry store did not extend to public sidewalks. She got
flustered and went back into the store.
About 10 minutes and a few blocks later, a police car pulled up and an
officer got out. He asked what we were doing. I held up the two cameras
in my hands, and told him I was taking pictures. He asked of what. I told
him of things I found visually interesting. (How are you really supposed to
answer that question? I’d taken about 50 photos so far, of many different
things.) He asked why. I said that photography was my hobby. He told me
that I wasn’t being very cooperative. I pointed out that I had answered
everything he’d asked. As much as I wanted to, I did not add that I wasn’t
obligated to answer such questions in the first place.
At that point, my mom asked him what law he was enforcing. He
responded with, “Look, if you would both just cooperate and answer my
questions, I will let you be on your way.” My mom said, “Let us be on our
way? I think we’ll just be on our own way now.”
We walked away, and he called after us, “If I get any more complaints,
I’ll come find you again.” I called back, “You won’t have any reasonable

In the legal fight over photography, subways are
the front lines. Nowhere is the clash between the
photographer’s right, the public’s privacy, and the
spying eye of government so pronounced.
No one rides the subway because they want to.
We’re all on our way to someplace else. We let our
guard down and drift off in thought. The desire to be
left alone, to be private, is understandable.
Yet our subways are not private places – they’re
very public, so photography is legal. Besides, we’re on
camera from the moment we walk into the station.
Closed-circuit video covers every inch of every train
ride (for our own protection, of course).
There are good reasons to be paranoid. One only
has to remember Madrid in 2004 or Japan in 1995. But
since 9/11, the fighting over photography in subways
has risen to a fever pitch. From New York to San
Francisco, bans have been proposed many times. And
though few, if any, have actually gone through, they
never fail to cause a ruckus.
So, for this issue of JPG, we asked Edmund
Leveckis to share some of his beautiful work. His
dark photos of New York City’s underground subway
passenegers are haunting. Not only are they a great
example of the art we stand to lose if we let our
paranoia run the photographers out of the subways,
but their grim darkness seems to speak directly to the
fear that’s crept into our nation from below, seeping
first into the subways, and working its way up.

In the 19th century, photography
eliminated the need for drawing or
painting to provide documentary
evidence of people. It was believed that
photography provided an objective truth
and it quickly became the favored method
of identification.
In the 20th century, psychoanalysis
introduced the idea that people were not
books to be judged by their covers, as was
the case in the practice of phrenology.
The combined effect of these two events
brought about new notions of art and
portraiture.
I want to deconstruct what we
think of as a portrait. By eliminating
color, expression, and other background
distractions, this body of work may be
reminiscent of the forensic interrogations
of the early phrenologists. But I’m
attempting to shed some light on the
personalities of my family members and
the physical and emotional space between
us. I hope that these images evoke a
sense of familiarity, understanding, and
intimacy.

I was in Sumqayit, about a half hour from Baku. It used to be the
headquarters of the Soviet chemical industry, sort of like the New Jersey of
the USSR. The town had the highest infant mortality rate in the world.
After the collapse of the USSR, most of these factories shut down, and
there is a stretch of several miles along both sides of the road leading north
out of town that looks just like this – all rusted hulks and broken windows.
We thought nothing of just hopping out of our taxi and walking straight at
the factory, snapping away. That is, until my cohort said: “There are guys in
camoflage coming!”
They were not happy with us. We tried to leave, but they showed us
their guns and said no. Long story short, after looking at our passports, and
the pictures on my digital camera, our explanations of “we’re artists” and
“we don’t have factories this big in the U.S.” seemed to win them over.

If you look back on the terrorism incidents over the past 10 to 15 years,
“prohibiting or restricting photography would have stopped none of them.”
know YoUR RIGHtS
AN INTERvIEw wITh BERT KRAGES, ESQ
Years ago, the American Civil Liberties Union began distributing Bust Cards,
pocket-sized cards with instructions on what to do if you’re busted by the
police. It was their way of distributing knowledge – sticking up for the litle guy
from afar.
In February, 2003, Attorney Bert Krages was a member of an internet forum
for photographers. When a member of the forum was stopped by the police
after photographing an oil refinery, he lamented to the list, “if only there was a
bust card for photographers.”
Krages was up to the challenge. He produced The Photographer’s Right, a
downloadable PDF that outlines the rights of everyone with a camera. He put
it online in and the rest is history: It’s been downloaded millions of times and
now travels the world in countless camera bags. (There’s also a copy on the
next page for you to cut out if you like.)
We wanted to meet the man behind the PDF and Krages was generous
enough to answer a few questions.
JPG Magazine: Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
Bert Krages: I am based in Portland, Oregon, and have practiced law for
eighteen years. I have also been taking photographs since high school. I have
eclectic interests but have done a lot of nature and street photography.
JPG: Have you been hassled for photography?
Krages: Once I was asked to identify myself by a construction manager while
taking photographs of a Superfund site cleanup. A couple of days later, an
attorney called me and asked why I was taking photographs. I told him that I
always take photographs of things that interest me.
JPG: How was The Photographer’s Right received?
Krages: Many photographers have expressed thanks for making the flyer
available. Quite a few have contacted me about incidents that have happened
to them.

ISSUE 6
OOpS!


oH, cRAP.
Photographers, let’s be honest, are control freaks. We obsess over our
equipment. We master our technique. We clean our lenses and go out into
the world looking for that decisive moment when everything is just right.
And then all hell breaks loose.
The shutter fires too early, or too late. Something zooms into frame,
or out. The light changes, people blink, we make mistakes. Basically,
everything eventually goes wrong.
And yet there’s magic in mistakes. There’s something special in the
spontaneous. Because it’s in those moments when photography becomes
more than just a document. It becomes something real.
We asked you for your favorite “Oops!” photos, and you really came
through. Whether it was faulty settings (pages 8 & 9), old film (page 32), the
random photo on the last frame of film (pages 38 & 39), or the last photo
a camera ever took (page 37), you sent in some of the finest slip-ups, freak-
outs, and happy accidents ever captured on film or pixels.
We’re also joined by featured photographer Rion Nakaya (page 20),
who’s spontaneous swing-set ejection photo graces the cover this issue, and
who shares some of her favorite serendipitous photos.
And what better way to defy our control freak tendencies than to
literally let go? That’s what camera toss photography is all about. We have
a chat with the founder of the Camera Toss Flickr group, Ryan Gallagher,
about what’s going on in his head when his camera is spinning through the
air (page 41). And if you want to give it a try, he wrote a little How-to for
us. We encourage you to give it a try – just don’t get mad at us if you break
your camera, okay?
In the end, we photographers can’t help being detail-oriented. We notice
things. Our eyes can’t help but frame reality. It’s what we do. But it’s always
good to remember that control is an illusion, and sometimes the best
photos don’t have anything to do with us. They’re just accidents, and we
were just lucky enough to stumble into them.
We hope you enjoy this issue of JPG.

When I began my photoblog in late 2000, it was filled with blurry
snapshots of my life in New York City, meant to be shared with family and
friends in faraway Los Angeles. They were all hipshots with my Digital
Elph, and they were all examples of serendipitous “oops” shots.
Over the years, my photoblog has become less about my daily life, and
more about capturing what’s going on around me. Part of this exercise
comes from a simple idea: show other people what you’ve witnessed, and
in turn, remind yourself.
Often, this results in street scenes, neighborhood and building details,
friends and family snaps, and travel photography. Basic stuff, but as our
cultures and cities change, and as we grow older, that documentation
becomes more important. In just a month what I’ve shot will have
changed, and without a photograph to hold time still, it might not be
remembered.
Sometimes, with persistence and focus (and some luck), I discover
something more: that moment when one shot out of a thousand captures
a satisfyingly indelible image. For me, that might be a painfully intimate
expression on someone’s face, or some intersection of unrepeatable
actions, captured and framed to tell a deeper story.
In pursuit of those illusive moments, I watch, wait, and keep shooting.
I’ll talk a while with strangers to earn a chance at a portrait without
artifice, and I’ll take rapid-fire street shots to ensure I have enough of the
action.
And then there’s the surprise – a factor that affects all of the above.
When the shutter clicks, there’s no way to predict what else could
happen in that fraction of a second: revealed emotion, a stolen flash, the
background action, details you never saw, how the bokeh spreads, how the
light falls, who walks into frame at the last second, how the story changes.
For me, “oops” is the serendipity of unpredictable circumstance. Big
or small, happy accidents can make images better, and can surprise the
audience and the photographer. I’ve come to learn that serendipity creates
my photographs as much as I do. And now that I expect the unexpected
when I shoot, I’m always looking forward to the next Oops.

Rion Nakaya has been witnessing and documenting moments as a
street photographer in New York City and abroad since late 2000.
As a kid surrounded by professional and amateur photographers,
Rion began shutter-clicking around the age of six. She continued
to shoot film in high school and college, feeding her journalistic
interests of trying to portray authentic experiences, and to be a
storyteller through images.
Recently moved to Paris with her husband, Rion currently
freelances as an information architecture and web design consultant
for clients in NYC, and continues to document her observations
throughout Europe and abroad. Her web site, www.rion.nu, remains
an evolving sketchbook space for photographic storytelling online.

An IntERvIEw wItH cAMERA toSSER RYAn GALLAGER
Ryan Gallagher is not the first person to open a
shutter and toss a camera in the air. But he brought the
technique to a whole new generation of photographers
when he started the Camera Toss blog and Flickr group.
He took time out of his busy schedule of displaying his
work internationally and being interviewed by every
media organization out there to answer some questions
for us.
Please tell us about yourself.
My name is Ryan Gallagher and I am 28 years old. I
am currently living and working in Austin, Texas. My
backgrounds are in design and the arts, specifically
lighting design for theatre. I often work as a lighting
technician for theatre productions in Austin and it is
still my primary occupation despite my growing interest
in pursuing photography and my art more and more
seriously. I had been exploring photography off and on
with film equipment, but it wasn’t until recently that
I got my hands on some cheap digital cameras that camera toss experimentation
became a more constant pursuit.
How did you get started with camera tossing?
I spent a lot of time awake at night around Austin, and capturing pictures at night
was something my inexpensive digital camera was horrible at. But the one thing it
could do was capture light-trails during exposure. I, like every photographer, had
played with what is often considered “light painting.” These images, although fun,
really didn’t hold any lasting appeal for me, but I continued to experiment with it
and one day was throwing my camera out of my hands to achieve the motion. It
was these first “free-flight” results that struck me as containing a representation
of motion that was extremely compelling. There was something about the elegant
lines that were only possible when the camera motion proceeded undisturbed by the
photographer.
What draws you to camera tossing?
The fact that the physics of the flying camera can be captured so elegantly. It is this
organic aspect of the camera toss photography, lacking in most light painting and
long exposure work, that continues to draw me and keep me exploring it.

Why did you start the Camera Toss site and Flickr group?

theme apply to camera tossing?

photography communities feed off each other, specifically on Flickr. I wanted to
