Thanks to Pix for featuring me on their Tumblr page.

Tony Fouhse

Yesterday I came across the work of Canadian photographer Tony Foushe. His work with addicts is amazing. There is an honesty and respect to his pictures that I think is really important when making this kind of work. Check out his User series here. Also congrats to Tony, one of the portraits from this series was selected for American Photograpy 27.

Thank you to Resource Magazine

They recently did a little post on me. Check it out here.

Mom visitor portraits...

The day before my mother had to leave LA we did some visitor portraits. I like seeing multiple ones gridded out like this. Something I might repeat in the future. After this post I am all caught up.

Homies series featured on This Is the What

Photo editor Kate Osba has been a long time fan of my work and I appreciate it so much. She gave me an interview a little while back you can see here and today she made a really nice post about my Homies series as well as some other kind words about me and my work.





Also, I have some posts of snaps, 4x5, and visitor portraits of my mother coming up soon. Sorry for all the promo posts, but its been super exciting!

Conscientious

Also just recently got a little love on Jörg Colberg's well respected photography blog Conscientious.






So excited about the attention that this project is getting.

Check out First-Stop

First-Stop is a new site for photography and illustration promotion. They're trying to keep down on paper waste from promo cards. I think promo cards are important so I don't see them going anywhere any time soon but this is a nice way to promote yourself.

Find my photos and give them a stamp of approval!













Also, my old friend Chad Griffith is on there, give him some love too.
