During the Photography 2.0 Town Halls, I rhetorically asked the question of whether there was any joy left in photography given the static day rates, diminishing photographer rights, and pricing deflation. Marcus Swanson turned that frown upside down, and showed the work that he's doing in Portland, OR for clients like Nike, Coca-Cola and even pro bono projects for various local charities. Marcus shoots a lot of atheletes, which I love, and does some cool stuff underwater (time to start saving for that housing!).
And like all the photographers we met around the country, he's totally down-to-earth and humble....must be that left coast love.

Great talk about photos and the art of photography. Marcus Swansons imagery is the bomb. They has such a great point of view and always seems to have such deep stories attached to them. So cool to hear him talk about it all. mad respect and props!!!
