I’m an impatient person. I’m also very singularly-minded, so when I get an idea in my head, everything else gets put on hold while I’m pursuing it (and, often making a mess in the process). I needed some artificial ice cubes for a few personal photo projects, but I didn’t want to have to buy [...]
In the photography world, we’re pretty familiar with 52-week projects, although some of us have yet to ever start or complete one. Beamused Magazinewanted to encourage all artists to take up a 52-week challenge called an “endless book.” The premise is that artists create one page of their “book” per week, constructing them in such [...]

As someone who describes himself a “Facebook Enthusiast”, I have a lot of photographers in my timeline. Probably 100 are constantly popping up, some of them are friends, while others are in that list because of their work. Peter Coulson belongs to the latter part, and he is somewhat special even there, because I always [...]
How old were you when you took your first stunner shot? Photographer AidenBarger is 6, and is already with a few good photos behind him. Ok, so Aiden is getting a little bit of help and guidance from his dad, Eric, who is a civil engineer. But at the end it is Aiden’sideas and curiosity [...]
