I am extremely honored to be the co-chair, along with Hannah Frieser from Light Work, for the Society for Photographic Educations' 47th National Conference, March 4-7 in Philadelphia. We hope you'll join us for what may be a most important and culturally relevant photo conference. Details are below and on SPE's website.

A warm thank those of you that donated to our year-end appeal, this year's programs will be stronger thanks to you.
