Photolucida Portland Talk

Next week I will be giving a talk at Photolucida on Thursday, April 23rd at 11:15am with fellow photographer and all around amazing person Robbie McClaran.  If you are attending Photolucida, please come on by – we hope to at the very least be entertaining!  We will both discuss how we got started, the difference between personal and commercial projects and how they can be related (or not), along with tales from the field.  I worked as Robbie’s assistant in the 90′s and later we shared a studio together.

I’ll be showing a mix of my personal work and my editorial work.

See you then!

I’m signing off until the rains return.

Enjoy this glorious weekend!
