• The Spring issue of PDN/edu has an informative article on how 7 photographers discuss what they do personally to contribute to environmental awareness, and reduce their carbon impact.

  The group includes David Bowman, Michael Clark, Jim Reed, Daniel J. Cox, Amanda Marsalis, Rob Van Petten and Doug Menuez. I’m hearing a green trend in their color balance. Doug Menuez said, “Digital is the new green.” That’s from a guy who shoots a lot of black and white. Thanks to Jeanine Fijol and Jill Waterman for compiling these comments.
