I’m delighted by the response to my Kickstarter campaign… In just one week the project is already over 30% of the way funded, thanks to 96 backers! Amazing! To those of you who have donated already, thank you so much for your generous support.

While the campaign is off to a great start there is still a long way to go to reach the goal, and I will need your contribution to make that possible. Here are just a few of the rewards that are available as thanks for joining me in this pursuit:

$12 pledge – you’ll receive a unique bookmark made from the proof prints for my upcoming exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. One-of-a-kind!
$25 pledge – you’ll receive a digital download with songs I recorded by musicians on the road + the bookmark.
$50 pledge – you’ll receive a signed 4 x 5″ print of your choice.
$65 pledge – you’ll be the first to receive the limited-edition photobook!
$85 pledge – you’ll get a SIGNED copy of the book + the digitial download + the bookmark.

There are also higher pledges for a Special Edition copy of the book with 8 x 10″ print ($250) as well as signed, editioned exhibition prints at various sizes ($500 and up).

Thank you all for your continued support!

I am excited to announce a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for my first book!

For those that aren’t familiar, Kickstarter is an “all or nothing” funding model. In other words, if I don’t achieve my goal my project will not get funded. So I can only make this happen with your help! Any amount of support you can offer is deeply appreciated.

In exchange for your kindness and commitment to this project, I’m offering a range of awards in return for pledges starting at just $12. There’s everything from a unique bookmark made from a strip of an archival print, to a digital music download, a screenprinted tote bag, a pre-order for the limited-edition book to come (signed copies too), as well as archival exhibition prints of various sizes! There’s a little bit of something for everyone and a few surprise rewards that will pop up throughout.

If you feel comfortable, please take a moment share this link with anyone you think might be interested (via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Getting the word out is a big part of the success of this project.
