Everybody Has a Story: Day 5-Justin Hackworth-The Inspirer

We thought it would be most appropriate to showcase the person who gave us inspiration behind our project we are doing. Since we had to travel to Utah this weekend, we contacted Justin to see if we could meet with him and finally meet him in person and get a few shots of him. We were not disappointed.

Meet Justin Hackworth. We first learned about Justin when Jeramy's cousin tweeted about a photographer from Utah. Jeramy went online to his website and liked what he saw and then ran into a project he did last summer called "30 Strangers". Justin did the project again this year and also turned into a fund raiser to help the Center for Women and Children in Crisis, in Provo. If you have not seen this years or last years posts, follow the link. You will not be disappointed. He is also putting together a gallery display from this years' project July 2nd in Provo, UT. you can check his blog for more information. It will be worth your time.

Today we meet Justin for the first time--we have only talked with him through e-mails and we blog-stalk him:) As we were not disappointed with his work and his project, we were not disappointed with meeting him in person. Justin is a very laid-back, kind and fun-spirited person. Justin has always been very willing to talk to us about photography and help us out wherever he can. He even gave us some more inspiration today.

We both were a little nervous about taking his picture, but he made it better when Shelley pulled out the camera and he said that he was nervous about getting his picture taken, plus Shelley told him we would make him look like a rockstar.

Thanks again Justin. We look forward to working with you again and to seeing more of your work. Thanks for the inspiration and we hope you like the pics--you are a ROCKSTAR (and he touched our camera)!!!





Can anyone see the pregnant lady?
