PHOTOGRAPHS NOT TAKEN - Book Signing at ICP, March 23, 2012

Here's part of the gang that made it out for the book signing and that were still around for a photo.

Apparently the first printing is already sold out and a second printing is already in the works with twice as many. ICP, Daylight, and a few other spots may still have some...get them or pre-order now.

Great to reconnect with people and see younger photographers so engaged with the essays.
