Nick Brandt, born and raised in London, studied Film and Painting at St. Martins School of Art. He started photographing in December 2000 in East Africa, beginning the body of work that is his signature subject matter and style. He has had numerous one-man exhibitions between 2004 and 2006, including London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Santa Fe, Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco.
I found both those through stumbleupon…very awesome. I especially loved the Brandt photography…

Chalk is great to create with and to eat so you know i love it. They did some really cool stuff on the side walk at IVC a little bit ago in chalk.
