Projects like Summer School don’t happen without incredible support from lots of different people.

Starting with an almost instinctual ability years ago, good buddy Clay Blackmore possessed a talent for taking a collection of images at a wedding and turning them into a story. Photographers are the ultimate storyteller and Clay has [...]
