permalink 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.
