Terry Richardson, being one of the dopest photographers ever, does things in his own time. We told you about Terry’s crazy Pirelli calendar a minute ago (link appropriately), and now he’s gone all 2000s on us and started his own blog!

A ton of random stuff happened in the last year, from deaths of superstars and some pretty close friends. We got a new president, and a bunch more reality TV which started to mirror the scandalous lives of sports figures. 2009 may have been the most historical year for changes in many ages, but there’s still really not much else to say about these dramatic shifts — other than LET’S PARTY!

Photographer Ryan McGinley originally shot these photos for The New York Times, documenting the 2004 US Olympic Swim Team. His images of Michael Phelps, Ian Crocker, Aaron Peirsol, Diana Munz and Jenny Thompson were stunning examples of McGinley’s prowess behind the lens, capturing the team underwater in a variety of states of play.

It makes perfect sense for Terry Richardson to shoot the 2010 Pirelli Calendar. I mean who else but the lecherous but oh-so talented model photographer would be the first to be tapped to shoot a bunch of really hot women in the jungles of Malaysia (?).

Walter Iooss and Neil Leifer are two of the most legendary sports photographers. Their work has become part of the cultural lexicon, as well as inspiration for new generations of photographers as well as athletes aspiring to be captured so artistically. Iooss is best known for his portraits of famous athletes like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Brett Favre, Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky. In his career, he has covered virtually every major sports event, including all 43 Super Bowls.

People come to California, expecting a perpetual sunbathed beach front that glide right up to the Golden Gate bridge — a beautiful, exotic locale. However, there’s a big expanse between LA and SF, which is filled with some of the best agricultural and natural land in the world. Don’t get me wrong, there’s some incredible sights along the coast. However, there’s also one city, the equivalent of the flyover states for California, a town called Fresno. Nicknamed by many “the armpit of California”…

My trip into the dust and my adventures on the playa led me to taking a few photos on bona-fide cellulose film. The trip was my first time out, and truly amazing. I narrowed the stack of photos I took down to 12 and wrote a little about each one. Enjoy!

From Ian Curtis to Liam Gallagher to Morrissey, Manchester has produced its share of rock and roll legends, and photographer Kevin Cummins has been there to document them all. Indeed, Cummins’ shots have proven instrumental in forging the infamous, indelible personas of some of the most incredible Mancunian music icons…

Now, we know Khan is a creative genius – in addition to her incredible, evocative songwriting, she also thinks up and art directs many of her innovative videos and album covers, bringing high visual-art élan to everything she does. But we had no idea she was such a great landscape photographer until National Geographic recently published a series of Khan’s Polaroids documenting her travels through the American West.

Ari has been shooting the zeitgeist that is his life, from snowboarders and skateboards that he calls friends, and the obligatory downtown characters, for over 20 years. He came up alongside the Haring and Basquiat, and had deep connections to the art community that nourished his raw talent.

These particular young cyclists are bringing their own flavor to the singular tandem jumping on rooftops, strolling with their pets and promenading along Regents Canal.

It’s already that time of year where we get to see a year of shockingly cool pictures from our friends over at Vice Magazine. Beatles fame photographer Harry Benson took the cover shot featuring Terry Richardson…

We’re honored to have this intimate up close and personal GALLERY of Booka Shade shot by our good friend Tim Dobrovolny on July 17th as the boys travel to perform live at the excellent Glade Festival in Winchester, UK. Tim, based in Berlin has a long and fruitful history in the music biz and he’s clearly on the way to a fruitful photographic career

Sports endure as one of photography’s most fertile subject matters – so many classic images of athletes remain timeless. At the same time, the greatest sports photographers manage to capture both the excitement of the event itself and the soul of athlete in competition. Asia Kepka is one of those photographers.

Bertoli, the Swiss born photographer began shooting abandoned tennis courts ten years ago, after stumbling upon one around the town where he grew up, near the border of Italy. The rustic and often unkempt quality of these courts speaks a different language than those found in the tidy backyards of Palm Beach or Beverly Hills.

There were numerous people who ‘were there’ at unique moments in history, but Jaffe was central to the flash points of culture as the consumate hyphenate — artist, filmmaker, producer, photographer, and musician.

Baile funk, the down ‘n dirty party music once only heard in the favelas, has certainly come a long way – what with Diplo being one of the top advocates as well as our good friend Daniel Haaksman releasing a huge diversity of baile funk …

St. Louis-based photographer and skateboarder goes back to high school to shoot a familiar subject to him, cross-country running. The intimate, earnest quality of his photos — everything from fellow skateboarders to kids being dropped at rock concerts — Worful has a unique talent for capturing ‘high school’ moments. On the radar of such photographers as Tim Barber and Tobin Yelland…
