“Christopher Wray-McCann began making photographs at the age of 16 while attending the Interlochen Arts Academy in the north woods of Michigan. In the years since, he has gone around the world several times, photographing musicians, celebrities, corporate executives, athletes, criminals and artists in over 30 countries. His images have appeared in such diverse publications as Vogue, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Spin, Variety, Conde Nast Traveler, GQ and Esquire to name a few.
Wray-McCann compares photography to cooking, believing that the essence of both depends on bringing together the best ingredients.
Currently Wray-McCann is editing a documentary called “Operation Aloha” which is slated for release in the fall of 2008.
Christopher Wray-McCann lives in Hollywood, California.”
Welcome to the newest member of our photoblog community, Diane Varner.
Photography by Diane Varner
“What was once a casual past-time with my beloved dog, Boomer, is now a healthy, daily obsession. Almost every morning I can be found hiking the coastline and mountain trails, taking photos of the beautiful Northern California terrain.
My daily walks often take me on paths that lead to other worlds… mystical ones… where quietness, oneness and a sense of peace prevail. I’ve discovered that while paying attention to the small but miraculous details of nature, one can actually tap into the beauty and expansiveness that exists within each of us….read more about photographer Diane Varner.”
Very few photographers are able to create masterful photography across such a cross section of subject matter as G Dan Mitchell . The G Dan Mitchell photoblog is updated daily and showcases beautifully crafted images. I particularly like the poster-style border placed around each image.
Like many photographers showcased in our community, Dan Mitchell get his start in the world of photography at an early age:
I started doing photography at a pretty young age. I can’t tell you what year, but I’m sure it was in elementary school. My father was a professor of instructional technology and a talented amateur photographer. He had camera gear (including a big old Graflex) and a darkroom he would set up in the bathroom. He taught me to print black and white and he gave me good advice – that I probably didn’t appreciate nearly enough at the time. For example, he always told me to step closer to my subject. What he was really suggesting was that I had to think beyond how cool my subject seemed to me, and to visualize what it would ultimately look like as a print.
In high school I shot a lot of black and white, developing the film myself and printing at home or (better yet) using the equipment at school.
If you like stunning landscapes, eye-popping urban & industrial images, peak moment sports pics, than you must check out the G Dan Mitchell photoblog!

Today, I have (7) new additions to the list. It is interesting to see how many photographers actually post on a daily basis. This posting technique allows you to build up quite a body of work over time. The photoblog is a great way to compile photo projects and to review your development as a photographer. Keep clicking!
New additions for today are as follows:
– “Passionate photographer from Slovakia, 2nd year student of economics in Prague, Czech republic.” – Software engineer shooting in the California area. – “I shoot mostly with a 12mp Fuji S5 and strobe lighting. Most of my really personal work is shot with an Epson R-D1 digital rangefinder camera for the portability and awesomeness of working with a rangefinder.” – “Daily photos from Kitakami, a small town in Northern Japan, and its surroundings.” – “In November 2004 I set up a photoblog with wordpress and since then post one photo a day. My current images range from trips to North America and Europe, landscape and buildings in the region and also American football from my local team (the Braunschweig Lions), portraits from friends and family and some tabletops.”
