Need a Photo Book? Call Mr. French.

What Are You up to, Finn O’Hara?

I first crossed paths with Finn O’Hara over at PhotoShelter- see my post here about his Underwater Hockey and Mountain Dew projects.
Finn has been steadily making rather kickass work since that time- work that spans many styles I might add- the dude is versatile.
