the black belt of alabama: a photographic essay.

You guys, I'm so excited to share this project with you. It's not my project, but some good friends of ours. Seriously. Watch the video and check out what Tom and Jennifer are trying to accomplish. I've known Tom for about 12 years (omg, for real? That long?), and Jennifer for almost as long. Since they've moved cross-country twice in the last decade, we don't get to see them all that often, but when we do, it's awesome. (Itty bitty Cayden in that link, btw.)

Anyway, these two are some of the coolest people I have ever known and talent just oozes from them. Sorry, oozes is a gross word, but for real, talent just emanates from them. We have a couple of Tom's prints hanging in our home. And we have a postcard that Jennifer mailed to us that she made hanging on our refrigerator. Talent, these two have it.

This book will, no doubt, be something people will treasure for a lifetime. If you live in Alabama, have family/friends in Alabama or have ever even passed through Alabama, I guarantee you'll be blown away by the beauty they can capture in photos. Please consider helping to fund this project. Even if it's just a few bucks. And also? Think of how easy this could make your Christmas gift giving this year. Easy, with a capital E.
