“Open For The Stones: Vol. 2” was just written up on one of the local art blogs. Read about some of the artists in the show and the concept behind this traveling exhibition. Click here to read to the blog entry. The photo above is one of my Hank 3 images that will be included in the show.
‘Tis the season for openings! I will have a never before seen Hank 3 photo in the second installment of this traveling group show. Please join us at the incredible Harper’s Books in East Hampton, NY for an opening reception May 26 from 6-8pm. I will have work hanging alongside some incredible artists such as Larry Clark, Peter Dayton, Daniel Johnston, Richard Hell, Lou Reed and Christopher Wool. I kid you not. Come share a glass of something sparkling with me on Bonac turf.
If you are in NYC tonight please join me for the opening of this show I have work in. The opening is tonight, December 8th, from 5-8pm and the show will be up through January 3rd.

NOWNESS features my photos of Hank Williams III
NOWNESS just posted some of my recent images of Hank 3 on their site with an interview with the man himself. The concept behind the shoot was to explore the stage clothes of three generations of Hank Williams’. Check out a few images showcasing everything from the suits to the goat skull masks that have been worn by Hank Williams Sr, Hank Williams Jr, and Hank Williams III. Love the post and pass it along! On a personal note, thank you to all who helped make the shoot possible. It may be only me that shows up to take the pictures, but I have a whole team of dog watching, gear lending, honky tonk recommending folks supporting my projects. A tip of the cowboy hat to you. Most importantly, love and gratitude to Hank 3 for welcoming me into his home and giving me access to some of the most amazing articles of clothing I have ever seen. His new albums are available on his website and iTunes.
Went down to Nashville over the weekend to shoot Hank Williams III at the Haunted Ranch. Photos are staying under my hat for now but stay tuned for a real treat featuring some spectacular shots capturing 3 generations of Williams family stage clothing (from Hank Sr’s suits to Hank III’s goat mask!). Also check out his site for upcoming tour dates and news- I got to hear some of the tracks he is releasing in September and it is not to be missed.
