Select photographer Michael Eudenbach’s photos for Sunrise Trail were published in the winter issue of Rails to Trails magazine. Here is what Michael had to say about the shoot. ”Being asked to shoot the “Sunrise Trail” in winter meant putting all the pieces together to tell the story in a single photo for the magazine cover: snow, sunrise, and people in action on the trail. It started out to be a winter weather waiting game. Ice storms and extreme cold temperatures had kept even hearty Mainer’s indoors for weeks, but finally a fresh snowfall before a sunny weekend allowed it all to come together. Once arriving on the trail, I discovered why these converted old railroad routes make perfect skiing and biking trails, carving a beautiful path through coastal towns and the rugged woods. I hiked along with my camera, chased after snowshoers and skiers, dodged a few high speed snowmobiles, even brushed up on the Down East Maine accent. Turns out you can get there from here, if you stay on the trail!”

Select Photographer Tyrone Turner’s images of New Orleans Beyond Bourbon Street are now featured on Smithsonian.com. Randy Fertel, the subject of this photo, speaks of these less traveled areas of New Orleans, saying,  ”I take friends on what I call the ‘Fertel Funky Tour’, meandering through sites the tour buses mostly miss. Once, some Parisian guests politely asked, ‘What ees thees ‘fun-kee’?’ I explained that “funky” means smelly. Buddy Bolden, arguably the first jazzman of them all, played at the Funky Butt, a music hall named for his song that begs us to ‘open up that window and let that bad air out.’ But funky also has come to mean the music played by groups such as the Funky Meters. Full of soul, it’s the kind of music you gotta dance to—unless there’s something wrong with you.”

Aurora Select gathering

We held a small gathering last Friday at the Aurora Select Office in New York city. Photographers, editors and friends alike gathered at a casual, get-to-know-each other environment; where work takes a back seat to a more relaxed, social setting.
