Apparently I started to post this link back in December and failed to hit publish. It’s been nearly a month but they’re still good photos: I really enjoyed Tom Hussey’s series of photographs on the subject of Alzheimer’s. A meticulously staged and executed concept.

This recently made a big splash in the web. And I think it really highlights what I think is important and valuable about photography. She also has a follow up due to the response to the original post here. I know I am currently in a place personally where my status as a “professional” photographer is in flux: I’ve had to return to school and I am working on alternative career paths to provide for my family and our debt load but I found the piece touching and inspiring to continue making memories for those that I have the good fortune to be able to work for.

The New isn’t quite here yet (I guess it technically still has a couple of days). However, these 2011 National Geographic Photos contest winners make gorgeous wallpapers.

Imminent finals and the poorly named “dead week” are currently eating into my coherency. But I really liked this Star Wars themed engagement shoot. How much fun was that?

I know I blew up the website but will you cut me some slack if I share this gorgeous set of time lapse photos shot from the International Space Station?
