Writer and Oscar-winning documentary maker Errol Morris talks about the nature of truth, art and propaganda in photography. Drawing examples from the photographs of Abu Ghraib and the Crimean war, cited in his book Believing is Seeing, he argues we’ve often underplayed the link between photgraphs and the physical world
Sometimes when I shoot an image I not happy with the result. Over time and as my skills evolve I sometimes revisit older images and re-edit them to see if I can achieve the look and feel I was attempting in the first place. Here is am example of a rework of an older image that I did some fixing to remove distracting elements. The model is Kerri Taylor Enjoy!!!

Big night last night, stepping up to shoot professional MMA at Bellator Fighting Championships 34 tonight at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood Florida.
I have to say the MMA Bellator Fighting Championships 34 where great. They know how to put on a very professional event. I spent the night cage side shooting for CagePotato.com thanks guys for the hook up.
I have to say the Fujii/Frausto match up as a war! It was a 5 round slug fest, those ladies left everything in the cage last night.
Bad luck for Florida’s Igor Almeida, he lost by TKO via doctor stoppage for a very nasty gash over the right eye. Hope to see you in the cage again soon. Hope to see him in another Bellator Fighting Championships match up.
I received this offer from Ken Allen Studios, I am going to try and get an hour of time to print many of my new images I shot while in New York.
I hope you are well, and will take a moment to read about an event I will be having at my printing studio in Brooklyn.
60 Minutes of Printing for $60
I have a lot of overstock fine art paper from 60″ rolls down to 8.5×11″ cut sheets that I want you to use up. There are a variety of papers many of which I ordered just for testing… and a few surprises.
On Thursday August 19th we will have ten (10) one hour appointments to print as much as you can.
You arrive for your appointment, look through our overstocked papers, give us your image/s and we will print as much as we can in your time slot. Prints have to finish by the end of the hour so we will determine when to send the last file to the printer. Some papers may run out so you may end up with prints on different papers. It’s up to you if you want to print a few big prints or lots of little ones.
To reserve your one hour slot you must email us starting at 9:00:00 AM on Friday August 13th. The first 10 emails that we receive and make a confirmation deposit will reserve their spot.
Respond to this email if you are interested in this offer even if you cannot make it on Thursday the 19th. It is possible that we will have another promotion. Feel free to contacts us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Ken Allen

This is interesting story about the last roll of Kodachrome film. I have been working with a families collection of images from around the world.
I had an image select to an image of the day from One Model Place (OMP). I am highly flatter, OMP has some of the most talanted photographers from around the world. The image that was selected is from my up coming series of images taken underwater. I wanted to technically challenge myself and really wanted to explore the etherial look of underwater images.
