Photographer Charles Brittin passed away this year. The LA Times has a nice obituary about him.  We're fans of his work.  In 1999 we collaborated with Craig Krull on a book of Brittin's work. We'd love people to see his photographs, so for the next few month we're offering the Charles Brittin monograph for just $8.95.
