UPDATE FROM THE PRODUCER

On June 19th, we shot an interview with the multi-talented artist Timothy Drury. Timothy's photography work encompasses a world of abstract beauty, utilizing natural light and composition that remind one of the great French impressionistic painters. When we thought of who we wanted to represent the world of photography and creating this art spontaneously, Timothy came immediately to mind. Our interview with him will reveal an in-depth view of his creative process and discuss some of his beautiful works.

Along with Timothy's brilliant photo work, he also an accomplished musician, having recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in music. Just some of his credits include The Eagles, Bryan Adams, Melissa Etheridge, Stevie Nicks and currently, is a member of Whitesnake. He is also preparing a mulit-media performance for this fall, which will feature both his original music compositions and his photography.
