The little girl, 12, has been missing since March 28 – vanished on the way to a friend’s birthday party.

Quicker Than Dreams
Posted on 08. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
A blog post from last year, regarding an ongoing project that stemmed from a daily assignment from The Denver Post. I was assigned by the Denver Post to photograph a column by Terry Frei about the state of racing in Colorado. Frei was pegging two of the Jockeys, Don Lee Frazier and Russell Vicchrilli, who [...]
#iPhonegraphy, Staying Creative
Posted on 08. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
In an effort to stay creative I take a lot of iPhone photos. The little camera forces you to look at the world differently as you would through the lens of a 35mm. Your only zoom is manual, engaged when you shuffle your feet closer to the subject. I’ve started to look at lines and [...]

This Land
Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
It’s hard to explain a project that you didn’t realize you’ve been working on your whole life. It’s not like these photographs were shot on autopilot. I was just shooting in an attempt to show the beauty of our National Parks. Only in the edit did I start noticing a trend, which I’ve been feeling [...]
New Music Suggestions, I’m Asking You
Posted on 04. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
OK, asking you all for new music suggestions does not technically have anything to do with my ‘On Assignment‘ blog, but music is something that I feel is important to the creative process. I’d want to be a song writer and a fiddler in an old time string band should the photography bug ever leave [...]
Quake Center – For The Wall Street Journal
Posted on 01. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Seconds after the Haiti earthquake struck, Jan. 12, 2010, a handful of earth-bound GPS stations in the region registered the huge tremor and relayed it to satellites overhead. The data then zipped to a small facility in Golden, CO, the National Earthquake Information Center. Computers there rapidly calculated the number of people exposed to the [...]

Last year, Renee Legro, was viciously attacked by two sheep dogs owned by rancher, Sam Robinson, who was convicted in September of owning dangerous dogs. Legro was attacked while riding her mountain bike, a sport she can no longer fully enjoy due to the extensive injuries suffered during the dog attack. Here she sits near [...]
Ted James – For The Los Angeles Times
Posted on 01. Apr, 2010 by Nathan W. Armes in Blog: On Assignment
Before his wife’s Prius suddenly accelerated uncontrollably to 90 miles per hour on a mountain highway, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of Toyota than Ted James. A middle-school science teacher and ardent environmentalist, James won a $10,000 education grant from the Japanese automaker in 2000, was feted at its U.S. headquarters [...]
