So, little things keep making me smile about my hometown. (And, yes, other little things continue to make me grimace. But I'm gonna be a Dad soon—I gotta start focusing on the positive.) So I'm starting an irregular feature on the ol' blog. When I see something cool that someone local has achieved, I'm gonna link it up and celebrate the fact that Columbus has got a lot going on, some of which surprises even me.

And the inaugural item is this. Bryan Fenstermacher is a local guy, and a helluva good photographer. I think I first spotted his work on my friend Rob Duffy's (now defunct?) weColumbus site.

But Bryan was recently published (photos and article) in JPG Magazine: a story about his love-affair with his Crumpler camera bag. And he got a photo into Popular Photography in February as well.

Hot damn! Way to go Bryan—good on ya! And way to keep Columbus cool.
