Finally, some new stuff...



So the arm is back together.. and I finally got around to updating the site. New galleries include a day spent with the crew setting up a County Fair (more cows, the chicken girl, and yes, cows.) An old Gas Station that we passed driving from Richmond to Dover- which was interesting enough to turn around, chat with the owners (who tried to sell it to me..) and take a few pics. Have you ever been to a tractor pull? This is how they do it without monster trucks.. and The first of several Forts along the Delaware river that I shot this fall.. more to come.
Cheers + Happy Holidays--

Its been a long time...


I just got a few emails over the last month asking why I haven't updated the site, blog or published anything in the last few months.. so now that I can actually type, here is my really, really good excuse for not getting much work done... that mess up there is my new, improved right shoulder!
I say right shoulder, cas those of you who know me well, know that I had the other one done a few years back. So I have been couching it for the last few months, but before that, I did travel and shoot quite a bit.
So stop back at the site in a week or so, I am going to add galleries for the projects I was working on before the sudden shoulder explosion... we chased actual chickens and farm animals, toured a bunch of old Forts, travelled from Mass to Virgina and more... I will post up some jpegs of assorted stuff in a bit..
Until then- special thanks to all who helped out over the last 2 months, friends, family, surgeons, and especially my wife, who has the patience of a saint.
New stuff soon! Cheers-- NIC

I'm Not Nic Nichols, I am Nic Nichols!


Every once in a while I get an email saying just how much someone loves my work in National Geographic, and that they cannot believe that I would go to such lengths to get an image... Well, I wish I could take credit for that, but that was another Nic Nichols. His real name is Michael, and he has been an idol of mine since I first picked a camera up- not because we share the same name, but because he is one of the greatest photographers to ever pack his bags and head into the jungle. Have a good look at his work here: I am certain that you will recognize the photos once you have seen them... (* on a side note, 1. My real first name is not Nic, I am a 'fourth' and we have all been called Nic, since 1886. 2. I am not a motivational speaker, but if I was, I would sure be Nick Nichols!)

Aside from that, thanks for all of your emails, really. Even the odd ones are amusing. Cheers to all my mates in London who remembered the May Day Riots.. Thanks to Juxtapoz magazine for giving me a feature, and to PixelSurgeon as well.

If you would like to purchase one of the limited 2007 print series, contact Irisf64, who will be representing me on all online print sales. Thanks to Brent and Trevor for taking me on!

And if you are wondering about the image up there.. well, I started a new long term project on Delaware's Route 13- and trust me, it's a shithole! Hookers, Used Cars, Junkyards, and that was just the first morning.. check back soon for part one of the photos and essay.

Happy New Year?!


Ya.. so its 2007 now? Amazing.. I have to send a big thanks out to all the Magazines, Collectives and Sites that made 2006 the biggest year ever for my little site. We had over 500,000 unique visitors from over 70 countries. Thanks to File Magazine for featuring my beach series, to Zone Zero, Bending Light Magazine, Nothing Fancy Volumes, Boonika, Art Dorks, Light Leaks Magazine, ToyCamera.com, Wurzeltod.ch, NewsToday.com, Carl Designs, RoboCore, Heavy Backpack, Gouw.nu, NowGoCreate, Scene360, Featured.se, DrawerFlat, MoonCruise.. and to everyone's favorite German Fetish Blog: Hopsakee. And to everyone else who made it all possible.

I just got back from shooting a lot, and I mean a lot, of film.. its been crazy warm up here, and I finally got to start some of the new projects I have been putting off... Look out this year for a whole new site, hundreds of new images... and I (hopefully) me finishing my first book.

Thanks to all: and here's to a great New Year!
