I rarely ever, mostly never accept gifts from people I photograph for editorial jobs. something I learned to take seriously in Phil Seib's Ethics class at SMU. Today was an exception. Thanks Bill. I will keep this forever.

So I photographed this man a few weeks back for the Houston Press. The Dallas Observer ended up running it as well. Cool seeing two different designers take on a very dark story.

I am super excited about my latest sticker drawn by the one and only S. Britt. If you buy a zine, you'll get a free sticker. Or just ask me for one next time you see me. They are orange and cute and inspired by this!

I am excited to report that my stash of Zine 3 is more than half way sold out . The zine is also available for sale at Photo-Eye in Santa Fe and the Barry Whistler Gallery in Dallas. Check out so of the some sweet reviews here and here and here and here . Buy yours here.
