Life and work

Andrews was born in Berkeley [2] and grew up in Briceland, California. [3] He began photography in 1993, a year after moving to Portland. [2] In 2004, he joined the Portland Grid Project, [4] in which a number of photographers have continued to photograph Portland, square mile by square mile. [5] [6] After moving from Portland to Eugene in 2006, [7] he worked in the similar Eugene Grid Project. [8]

Andrews became a member of the In-Public street photography collective in 2006, [2] and is also a member of Portland-based collective Light Leak. [9]

Andrews mostly works in black and white. His "finely tuned black-and-white photographs" are "so subtle that you need to double-check that you haven't missed something. This is a rare quality. They are a quiet homage to the weird, and often feature children. . . . His style is both subtle and original." [10]

Andrews' blog B is "widely popular" and "one of the most respected in the photographic community". [10] Andrews has been writing it since 2007. [2] Pete Brook said in 2010 that "Andrews' sideways and irreverent commentaries are refreshing in the photoblog zeitgeist." [11]
