Beautiful new images from Henry Domke. He spent the night disguised as a field mouse to get the shot above.

Photography
Matt Howard is a talented photographer in Kennett, MO (my home town). Matt’s day job is personal trainer so I guess he’s technically an amateur but certainly in the best sense of that word.
I stumbled onto Matt’s flickr page recently and was immediately taken with his haunting (for me) images of the flat, empty fields I remember growing up.
I got him on the phone for a brief (15 min) chat this afternoon during which he explained his passion for photography started with a book rather than a camera.
AUDIO: Interview with Matt Howard 15 min MP3
You can see some of Matt’s photos here and a few of his shots of the recent ice storm here. If you fall in love with one of Matt’s photographs and would like to have a nice print for your office or home, you can leave Matt a message on his flickr page or email him.
Charles Jolliff –another Kennettian with a camera– shares a few hundred photos of the ice storm damage.

I only have 2,300 photos on my laptop, which has become my default computer. The other kids I play with have many, many more than that. But I don’t know how I’d keep up with a couple of thousand photos without iPhoto. I’m not saying it’s the best way to manage your images, only that it’s the best for me. And the new version includes two new features that I really like.
Faces attempts to “recognize” the people in your your photos and group them. This little video tour ’splains it better than I can but after playing with this for an hour or two, I’m reminded that people (and places) are the way I think about my photos.
Sure, I could go through 2,000+ and tag photos of Barb. But I’d never get around to it. iPhoto 09 pretty much does it for you (with a little help).
I’ll talk about Places in a later post.

Regular readers will know that I grew up in Kennett, Missouri, and lived there until 1984. A great place to be from, if you catch my drift. The landscape is so flat you can see the curve of the earth. And the crop chemicals made for spectacular sunsets. But I never thought of the area as beautiful… until I stumbled across some photos by mshhoward. It appears he has enhanced the images a bit but I could be wrong on that. Doesn’t matter. They’re really striking.
I’ve emailed asking for an interview to find out more about the photographer and his work. Watch this space.
