Peter Kearns

In the comments on my last post, Aline Smithson mentioned the work of Peter Kearns, whom I’d seen in Vewd recently. I spent some more time looking at his work and we exchanged a couple e-mails about projects of this sort. He’s a good guy, and I really dig his work. Check it out.

Here’s some of what he says on his site about the project:

I met Krista on Labor Day at a friend’s Jell-O wrestling party in 2004. It was lime flavored and she was wearing a pink wig. After getting most of the Jell-O out of my hair, we spent the evening drinking, laughing, and flirting. She took me home to her apartment where we shotgunned cans of PBR and listened to old country records. Sometime that evening, probably when she was dancing around in her red cowboy boots while singing along to a Hank Snow record, I fell in love with her.

And here are some of my favorites from his series Krista, about his wife.
