Brian Caissie is a talented photog, comprehensive scrapbooker, and a tireless co-worker of mine. He’s having a photo show (his first one in 5 years) next week on Friday, June 5th that should definitely be checked out. I know first-hand how much work he’s putting into it, and it’s gonna be a dandy. There’s beer and music, too.
