You've heard about Girl Hunter by now.
It's time to meet Girl Texidermist.
Her name is Beth Beverly and she is amazing. My sweet brother introduced us via the internet a little while back and since then we've become pen pals. The notion of a young woman making artistic creations out of the parts that I don't…
I just spent 48 hours with Todd and Diane from White On Rice. They are so many things... photographers, videographers, artists, visionaries... and they bring joy wherever they go.
I've been through a lot of photo and video shoots this year for one reason or another and what I've learned most is that the people…
