American Photography 30

So nice to have one of my favorites from Iceland chosen for American Photography 30 this year. It’s always impressive to see the winners slideshow. There’s so much good work out there.

See for yourself right here.

 

 

 

Cathedrals of Ice for The New Yorker’s Photo Booth

In February, I had the chance to visit the ice caves at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Northern Wisconsin during a trip with my Dad. I’m so pleased that the picture essay landed on the New Yorker’s photo booth blog where it looks so nice. Special thanks to picture editor Siobhan Bohnacker!

Telling the Story

My friend Matt Pearl, a  television reporter in Atlanta and an all-around wonderful person, started a really great blog and podcast where he writes and talks with storytellers in the journalism world today. I like that he doesn’t narrow his scope to just one area of journalism. He’s talking to reporters, photographers and bloggers involved with TV, newspapers and the web. It’s a great resource if you’re interested in learning more about how people approach storytelling.  I talked with Matt about my recent work at camp which you can check out here.

The Instagramming continues…

I’m about midway through my week of guest Instagramming on the New Yorker account and it’s been a great experience so far.  If you’re on Instagram, you can check it out at @newyorkermag or through my handle @erinbrethauer.

New Yorker’s Instagram

Hi all- I’m really excited to be guest hosting the New Yorker’s Instagram feed this week with iPhone images from Camp Lakey Gap that I took over the course of two weeks in July.  There will be a mix of images from a week of 4-10 year old high-functioning kids with autism and a week of adults with autism.  I hope you’ll check it out!

The New Yorker handle is @newyorkermag and my personal handle is @erinbrethauer.  Thanks for looking!

I just posted some images to my website of the show up at the Asheville Area Arts Council gallery.  If you can’t make it to the gallery before April 27th, take a look here.

Dr. Gilmer for This American Life

This American Life has a great episode this week about the intertwined path of two doctors (both coincidentally with the last name Gilmer).  I got to take this portrait of Dr. Benjamin Gilmer for their website at his clinic on Cane Creek Road just outside of Asheville.  His office is actually just down the road from Jeremy and Amanda, the Cane Creek Valley farmers I followed for a growing season back in 2009.  It was neat listening to the episode having met some of the people and visited some of the places in the story.  Really grateful for the opportunity to help in a small way with this story – thank you This American Life.  I’m a big fan.

Check out the story here.

Asheville Area Arts Council Gallery

Friday was the opening for my show at the Asheville Area Arts Council Gallery.  It’ll be up until April 27th so if you’re in town, please check it out!  There are twelve images from last summer’s visits to Camp Lakey Gap (a camp for people with autism in Black Mountain), five images from New Orleans and five images from Hayward, Wisconsin during the Birkebeiner ski race.  Below is a photo of Jon hanging the show.  And below that is a group shot at the end of the night Friday.  Thanks for taking a look!
