Earlier tonight I gave a talk to a group of smart, engaged, and all around nice students in Mark Slankard‘s class at Cleveland State University. Fun times!

Dr. Rebecca Scott Bray included a discussion of work from Unmarked in her piece Rotten Prettiness? The Forensic Aesthetic and Crime as Art in the Australian Feminist Law Journal, 40:1, pp 69-95 – published 6 October 2014.

I’m honored to have my work be part of her research.

Our fundraiser to support student scholarships (via the generosity of David Hume Kennerly and his donation of fifty-three of his magnificent photographs) was an incredible success.

We raised nearly $30,000 to create the first endowed scholarship for photography students!
