Hello All,

I'm now a contributing photographer and concert reviewer for the Chicago-based blog What to Wear During an Orange Alert? The feature is called Paint The Town Orange and all of the reviews and images can be found here. The blog was recently named one of the top web sites in Chicagoland by Chicago Magazine. Last year I was a featured artist on the site, but I'm thrilled to be a part of the exciting things happening over at Orange Alert.

On a different note, last fall saw the passing of my mentor, professor and friend, Peter Feresten. I learned so much about photography from Peter and not a day goes by I don't think of him. Peter dedicated his life to documenting African-American life in Fort Worth. Not just a great photographer, Peter was also a wonderful teacher. There are hundreds of photographers who were fortunate enough to have him as a professor. His knowledge and passion for the the art and craft of photography carries on in each of us.

Peter Feresten 1945-2007
