C4FAP + Crista Dix present Low Tech

I am excited to be teaming up with the Center for Fine Art Photography to jury their upcoming show, Low Tech.

As anyone who has seen wall space knows, I love well crafted images. This is a great way for me to see new work, to experience great work and to support the tremendous efforts of C4FAP, who's mission is to celebrate photography. My thanks to Hamidah Glasgow and Azarie Furlong for inviting me to be participate.
