Five Photographers

Plus, a final call for my "Flashes of Brilliance" giveaway

Sorry to be out of touch, friends — I’ve been in Little Rock, Arkansas, this week producing a journalism conference for Outrider, the nonprofit foundation where I work. It’s been an exhausting yet exhilarating experience, and I’m glad to finally get a chance to breathe. 

I don’t know about you, but I get the itch when I’m away from photography for too long, so I figured I would send some pictures today. I haven’t written a Five Photographers post since June, so it’s way overdue. I’ll let these images speak for themselves. Grab a cup and take a look.

As always, if you know someone I should feature here, please drop me a line. I’m always looking and love seeing new work. And if you’re new to FlakPhoto, I hope you’ll subscribe. Happy weekend!
