oh, grant me...

I'm working on applying for a project grant to help fund a new body of work (more on that to come). Whether or not it's successful, it's been a good way to organize my thoughts and the photographs from other ongoing projects, mainly the Fast Food and Early Places series. Here's another image from the Fast Food series, one of four pictures which will be in the American Photography book this November.

people actually SAVE books, don't they?

As opposed to magazines, I mean.

I heard recently that I'll have work published in the upcoming American Photography 23 annual. I'm thrilled, because: as noted, it's a book!; this is my first time to be selected in the AP contest; and it's extra sweet that the work is from a personal project. I've been photographing closed-down fast food restaurants for a while now, and this will be the first publication of any of the pictures. And I'm beginning to conspire with Susana Raab, who shoots her own fabulous brand of fast food pictures, on the idea of a two-person show somewhere...

So, warning: If you're related to me, make some room on your coffee table.
