InStudio -- David Landis
I've picked up working on my InStudio project again. I've been talking to a few people, and I hope I'll be able to shoot a few more in the next few weeks.
The latest artist to allow me to take photographs in his studio is David Landis. He creates these amazing large scale sculptures from metal, cement and stone.

When I visited his studio, he was working on a public art project. The logistics of getting something like that done, much less installed, seem incredibly complicated to me. And it's gorgeous.
Sights from #SlowExposures 2012
Last month I went to the Slow Exposures
photo festival in Pike County, Georgia. It was the second year I
attended. I almost didn't go. There is a juried exhibition, which I
didn't get into this year, and the prospect of going and not showing
something didn't appeal to me when I first got the email notification.
But when I got the rejection letter, one of the organizers had added a
handwritten note, saying she hoped I came anyway. I had a good time last
year, so I decided to go anyway.

I'm glad I did. There were several good photography shows to see, interesting panels to go to, and good parties, too. I'm going to have to make this an annual trip, even if I don't make the show.

Joy Walker, a supporter of Slow Exposures, who just happens to be the first woman pilot for Delta Airlines. She has fantastic stories. I'd buy a book she writes in a second.
