© Patrick RomeroI received an email today from J. Wesley Brown announcing a new blog (a new blog!) about the photography scene in Los Angeles.

Register Now for Critical Mass 2008
Posted on 18:18 by election
© Peter van AgtmaelEntering Photolucida's Critical Mass program was one of the best decisions I've made in my career.
