San Antonio Express-News staff photographer Nicole Frugé is leaving the paper under her own terms to pursue freelance work. I’m sure she will do amazing things in the future.

“It’s so hard to say goodbye to so many close friends. But I’m very excited that I have an opportunity to follow my passion and hopefully I’ll produce some meaningful stories in the process. I’ve made the decision to go freelance so I can focus on conflict photography and documentary projects.”

You can follow Nicole’s work through her blog The Last Picture Show.

Also, you can see Nicole present her work with a amazing lineup of photographers at the “best little underground photo conference out there” – GeekFest in St. Petersburg, Florida this September 11-13. If you have the means at all, you’re a fool not if you pass this up.

Introducing Steven St. John Wedding Photography

May 4th, 2009 by Steven St John

ALBUQUERQUE – As a freelance photographer, I have documented many of my friends weddings. Weddings are a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work too. Well, I’m pleased to announce that I finally have added a division of my website dedicated to just weddings. Please stop by my documentary wedding site by clicking on the link and let me know what you think.

While I’m at it, I want to plug my website designer, Electrophonic Design, who have done a wonderful job with all my website design needs. I could not be happier with their work.

Here is the main gallery of photos from the new site.
