Burns, who originally wanted to be a feature film director in the style of John Ford, was exposed to the potential of the still image by his photography professors at Hampshire College. “I decided to explore with an energetic camera’s eye the entity of that photography,” Burns said. He’s been at it ever since. “I have spent my life trying to express history in a broad, popular way.” Burns emphasized that he tries to liven up the history that...
Usher is back and more woman than ever. Yes, you heard me right. Your favorite piece of male eye-candy has returned with another steamy video, “Trading Places.” In this, the newest single off his fifth album, Usher has managed to reinvent himself in an unimaginable fashion.
