Experimental photographer Matt Callow interview in Michigan in Pictures
Experimental photographer Matt Callow, aka Matt Blackcustard, was just interviewed by Michigan in Pictures.

You can see more of his work on his own Web site, mattcallow.com, Flickr, LiveJournal, and Tom Persinger’s f295 Pinhole Forum.
