Good Goddamn is on Andy Adams’s best of 2017 list. Thanks, Andy.
George Muncey has good taste in photobooks, and he can pronounce my name more or less correctly.
Good Goddamn is Photo-Eye’s book of the week. Thanks, Forest Soper, for such a thoughtful write-up.
“Like an outlaw country song, this book is bittersweet, brief, poetic, and incredibly moving. Also like a country song, this book paints a chapter in a man’s life. Kris’s story and Good Goddamn alike are both traces that become legacies — legacies that become legends.“ — Forrest Soper
’Good Goddamn’ made it on to some nice end of year lists
