Slideluck at the Splashlight Studio

Tonight is Slideluck Potshow VII (these are really fun- large projected photo slideshows, and yummy potluck food and folk) at Splashlight Studios. I will be showing some recent fashion and commercial work, unlike most Slideluck’s when I show all personal work. Many others will have slideshows too and lots of yummy food and folks. This month’s Slideluck is PDN’s “pick of the month”. Congratulations again to Slideluck’s founder, photographer, and friend, Casey Kelbaugh!
