I got to see Timothy Briner’s show “Boonville” when I was in New York recently, and it was a real treat.

My friend Kyle Beachy has a very nice interview on the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography site. Way to go Kyle!

Lauren Greenfield is one of my most favorite people, and her work has been a huge inspiration to me. She has a breathtaking and incredibly moving show up at UMSL’s Gallery 210 currently, entitled “Thin.” Please stop by if you can.

The Virginia House is a new gallery here in St. Louis, MO that I like a lot. They’ve got a new show called “Love & Hate” opening Saturday, February 20 if you can make it.

Robin Cameron and Jason Polan have created The Assembled Picture Library of New York City. They will be putting on a collaborative event and you’re encouraged to check it out and participate!

Peter Pranschke is a friend and an incredibly nice and talented person. He has a new show opening Friday, January 22nd from 6-9pm at PSTL Gallery here in St. Louis, MO. I’ll be in New York this weekend and can’t make it, but you should if you can! (Drawing by Peter.)

I went to college with Barry Johnston and he always made interesting work. I’m glad to see he’s still up to his old tricks. (Photo by Maxwell Williams.)

I’ll be at the New York Photo Festival coming up. I went last year and it was an amazing time, so I’m hoping this year will be fun too.

My friend Jimmy Dimarcellis (also known as Porous Walker) has a show at Receiver Gallery in San Francisco, California this Saturday, April 4th. Please stop by if you can, I’m sure it will be a fun time! (Drawing by Jimmy.)

The opening for “Here and There” in Johnstown, Pennsylvania was a great time. Thanks again to Justin Visnesky for curating it, and also to Jacob Koestler and Laura McAllister for having it at their space!
