DANA SIMMONS, Providence, RI

With my site up only one week, I received a very nice call from Martha Stewart Magazines. A photo editor and an art director were so excited to see my wet-plate collodion images on PhotoServe, they came by the studio to see the originals, to get an understanding of the process, and to talk about an upcoming project for Martha Stewart Weddings.! …It's the quickest response I've had from any promotional vehicle in years.
MICHAEL MAZZEO, New York, NY

And I'm shooting my first assignment for SUNSET magazine 4-22-03, their photo editor found me on PhotoServe looking for fresh talent.
