Packing and shipping for all the orders of Gratuity included is now done. All international orders shipped Thursday and Friday, and all domestic orders shipped today. Thank you everybody for making this a great success! Printing for the second edition is about to get underway. And now I need a drink, wanna join me?
Hand numbering and signing Gratuity Included /
The Gratuity Included books arrived last night and they look and feel awesome. I managed to number and sign all 150 copies last night. Next step is prepping them for shipping!
You're Invited! Gratuity Included Book Release Party and Exhibition, Fri., Mar. 27 /
Even though Gratuity Included has sold out online, I did have the foresight to save 20 copies for the upcoming Gratuity Included book release party and exhibit at sPACEycLOUd in Adams Morgan in DC on Friday, Mar 27. In addition, my good friends in the bands Zealot RIP and I Against Eye will be performing. This will really be off the hook as sPACEycLOUd is a great space filled with cool skate decks and lots of Russian, Ukrainian and Eastern European beers. Hope to see you there! Here is the Eventbrite RSVP.
Fresh from the Bindery! Gratuity Included on the Production Line /
Here are some production photos of Gratuity Included going through the bindery process. The books are being shipped to my house today. Then I need to hand-number and sign these before I ship them out to you!
At this point there are only 13 copies left for online sales - don't miss out!

I recently had the opportunity to answer some great questions for Megan M Kwasniak's This Photography Life blog including what constitutes style in photography and whether identifying with a genre of photography is more limiting or liberating.
I met Megan at StreetFoto San Francisco and then again at The Miami Street Photography Festival (MSPF) last year. She was on the DC SPC street battle team against the Burn My Eye collective in Miami with her friend Sonia Goydenko, another awesome photographer. I admit because I saw some of their work in SF I knew I stacked the deck against Burn My Eye. I credit both of them for our win!
Oh and I only have 17 copies of Gratuity Included left for online sale! You can grab the last ones here.
