Noleo Fantastico!

Chris Nolen, an extraordinary art director and surveyor of all things cool over at his blog, Noleo Fantastico, wrote a really nice little article about my love of Lomographic cameras, in particular the Diana F+. I’ve really been stepping up my Lomo use with my latest project documenting artist William Goodman’s creation of his new show, “Erotic Serenity”, opening Thursday, May 6 at Fischer Galleries in Jackson.  It’s an amazing show, and you’ll also be able to see the photo documentary, including some brand-spanking new color Diana work that I’m extremely happy about!

But in the meantime take a look at Noleo Fantastico. It’s a fun site full of Chris’ thoughts on design, music and anything else he finds cool or interesting. I promise you’ll really love his Awesome Sauce!

It’s hard to believe that this winter wonderland is Jackson, MS on 2.12.2010.  It was a gorgeous snow.

I’ve been given an opportunity to review and photograph gear for one of my favorite websites, Gear Patrol.  This is a huge honor for me, and I’m very excited to be working with great bunch of folks.  Check out the review I did of one my favorite pieces of photo gear, the Domke F-2 camera bag
