About Jörg M. Colberg I was born and grew up in Germany. After attending university and receiving a doctorate/Ph.D. in astrophysics I moved to the US, where I now work and live with my wife Karen and our four incredibly spoiled cats. In the late 1990s, I created what has since become the standard visualization technique for supercomputer simulations of cosmic structure formation. My images have been reproduced many times in magazines (such as Scientific American) and books (see, for example, the cover of this widely used textbook). I got interested in photography on the last day of 1999 when I picked up a camera and started to take photos. Since mid-2002, I have been compiling Conscientious, one of the first and now one of the most popular weblogs about contemporary fine-art photography. In 2006, American Photo named me one of their Photography Innovators. Interviews from the blog or articles by me have appeared in numerous magazines in the US, the UK, Holland, China, Singapore, Spain, and elsewhere. I have been curating photography exhibitions, the latest one being Bare at Michael Mazzeo Gallery. I wrote the introductory text for Hellen van Meene's monograph "Tout va disparaître", for Greg Girard's "In the Near Distance", and for Andrés Marroquín Winkelmann's "Conditions". In addition, I was a member of the review panel of Critical Mass, a jury member of the 2008 International Hyeres Festival for Fashion and Photography, and a portfolio reviewer at Atlanta Celebrates Photography, PhotoNOLA, the Griffin Museum's review, and Fotofest. Since Summer 2010, I have been a faculty member of the International Limited-residency MFA Photography Program at Hartford Art School. Services I am available as a consultant both for professional photographers and for collectors interested in building and/or expanding their photographic collection.
