UPDATE -- Michael Sebastian's Career is Taking Off

New Orleans-born and Louisville, Kentucky-based photographer Michael Sebastian puts people to sleep for a living but his photography arrests our attention with his rich use of color and his exceptional eye for composition in his meditations on the Southern suburban landscape.

Sebastian is a Southern photographer we are just getting to know, but others have noticed.  He's just started a regular column on the fraction blog, here.

In 2010 alone, he was a featured photographer on One One Thousand, selected as a Critical Mass Finalist, featured on Flak Photo, chosen as a participant in the highly competitive Review Santa Fe portfolio reviews, featured in the Griffin Museum Virtual Gallery, and published in the The New York Times Magazine.

Congratulations to Michael on his work and on his well-deserved recognition. We look forward to seeing more of his work.
