My first stock of photographs is on the shelves, and now I need to start looking to the future: what's next?

Luckily for all, I already know what's next.

The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is drawing closer day by day, and I'm really starting to feel it. The weather is warm and the people are friendly. And it will only get thicker.

In that spirit, I'd like to announce the sooncoming of my series, "The Seven Huundred Acre Farm.", shot with my Holga last year at Bonnaroo 2009. The series is thirteen (13) prints long and consists of twenty (20) different images. Seven of the thirteen are diptychs, measuring a total of 6x13 inches between the two photos. The remaining six are single 8x8 prints. All images are, as per Holga, square.

Bonnaroo has really changed my life (and consequently my work), and this is my proudest work to date. I will be busy making all the preparations for its most careful printing and arrival. Each photo will be available for separate purchase, or the entire set as a whole, including the signed artist's statement and certificate(s) of authenticity, will be available at a much reduced price.

Because I have a special fondness for these images, I want them to be appreciated more than any others by those who i know have a strong kinship with their subject. Of all my work, I believe these to bring the most joy. For that reason I plan to expand the numbers available of each print (though they will still be quite limited edition) and keep the prices low, despite the much more time-consuming and costly process of film.

So look through them and start thinking which ones might look best on your wall, on your desk, or in your trailer at BONNAROO.
