Your Story: John Batdorff
I’m not quite sure what to say to introduce the author of today’s post, other than to say that I hope my homage from yesterday is enough to do both him and his photography justice.

Your Story: James Brandon
  In case you missed the last post in the series, this is an ad-hoc collection of posts I’m calling “Your Story” — where photographers can talk about what photography means to them personally, and why they shoot what they shoot.
