Dre Davis – For Education Week
Posted on 26. Apr, 2012 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
A major hurdle, in documenting anyone’s life, is to first make a connection to earn even the thinnest sliver of that person’s trust. Though infrequent, there are folks that swing wide the door into their lives by seamlessly making the connection and gracefully clearing the hurdle for you. Wyoming high school student Dre Davis, 17, [...]
This Land – Great Sand Dunes National Park
Posted on 20. Apr, 2012 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Sand. Obviously, lots and lots of sand. Sand is the literal take-away recorded in my most recent trip notes for ‘This Land’, an ongoing project exploring the US National Park system and the people who occupy their spaces and landscapes. I’m still finding those notes, grinding and crunching away, scattered about my life. Our route [...]
Dr. Scott Hammond – For The Wall Street Journal

Thanks to Dr. Scott Hammond, his patients and his welcoming office staff for allowing me to wander. You can read the story, here. Scott Hammond is trying to give his patients the kind of hands-on care that everyone from insurers to policy makers say they want. But the costs may outweigh his practice’s ability to [...]
a politician – for reuters
Posted on 07. Feb, 2012 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
I’ve always found the most pleasing part of photographing political news events are the photos that I take for myself. Those are the photographs that keep me grounded, exploring new ways to visually bracket the goals of political stage craftmanship and in love with photography. I’d rather make a ‘bad’ photograph while trying something new [...]
#OccupyDenver – For Reuters
Posted on 21. Nov, 2011 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
To be honest, I have not followed the Occupy Wall Street movement as closely as maybe I should. Between shooting, editing and finishing up a long term project I’ve covered the basics of the principals behind the movement’s goals. Though I think those goals are noble and must be addressed I feel that the time [...]
Repost: Those Who Serve
Posted on 11. Nov, 2011 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Today is 11/11/11 – a day like no other. The day, significant for its unique arrangement of digits, is also unique in the fact that it’s Veterans Day. Thanks to my grandfather, father and brother for serving. Thanks to all who have served in wartime and in peace. A special thanks to the millions of military [...]
From The Archive: The New Face of ‘Personhood’
Posted on 09. Nov, 2011 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Every morning, I pour myself a cup of coffee and start my day by reading headlines, catching up on email and skimming through my Twitter feeds. I used to read all the political blogs, reports and breaking news with the same urgency as a rabid sports fan. This year has been different because I’ve started [...]
School Cutbacks for Education Week
Posted on 08. Nov, 2011 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Wow. It’s been a while. So this is what my blog looks like. It’s nice here, I’ll have to visit more often. This summer has been busy with shooting a video / stills documentary project in Wyoming – which is still yet to launch, on the client’s website, so it’s still in hush-hush status. Excited [...]

Green Schools – For Education Week
Posted on 26. May, 2011 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
“Green schools” are better for students, teachers, the environment—and the bottom line, a report released this month concludes. Published by the American Institute of Architects and the U.S. Green Building Council, the report—which resulted from a three-day meeting at the Sundance Resort in Utah in November—details what mayors, superintendents, and other local leaders can do to [...]
