Rachel Hulin has a nice interview with Lincoln on her popular photography blog. Read the post
to see the grizzly bear skin rug wearing a fedora from Lebanon. In addition to what they discuss,
Lincoln enjoys traveling, cooking, running, cycling and snowboarding with his wife, Lauren.

Not many people can say they went to high school with Marilyn Manson (Michael knew him as
the shy "Brian Warner"). Burn Magazine, curated by Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey,
recently showcased Michael’s emotional project about a family’s reaction to terminal cancer.

as posted on our blog. Aaron has a BFA in Photo-Illustration from R.I.T. When asked what his
hobbies are, he (half) jokes: "meeting client deadlines and delivering projects within budget."

She’s owned 58 working cameras. As Katherine puts it, she "grew up in her daddy’s darkroom
in Memphis, Tennessee." She loves Elvis, Martin Luther King, white beer, and black-eyed peas.
Also boasts about making a mean pesto. She’s even done the Balinese Monkey Dance.

Took first photo at age 7. The subject: his tabby cat. Began school in the science department at
Brown University. While studying, he worked with rats, researched sleep, and held down the fort
at a locked mental health ward. A single photo class at neighboring RISD changed all of that.

His twin passions are music and photography. Pursued the latter during his military service.
Ultimately led to his post as official photographer of, then Prime Minister, Lionel Jospin.
Recently documented the archives of the East German secret police and the Berlin Wall.

Was the school photographer and worked in a camera shop during high school. Disappointed
his parents by not finishing business school. Works out of a four-thousand square foot studio in
Atlanta’s historic Inman Park neighborhood. Close to good restaurants, too, for your next shoot.
