Want to rent a studio?

One of the most interesting photography places on the net. Good enough that I actually paid them! You can find my work there if you do a little search.

If you really want an interesting time (and a chance to meet Art Wolfe for free) check out the winter Digital Festival. I've been to several and they are well worth your time. I've taken time off of work to go up and never regretted it. It's free and you'll learn a lot! People come from all over for these.
