The Firecracker Alternative Book Award (FAB) ceremony took place at the glamorous El Rey Theatre this past April. A part of the Book Expo America convention, the elegant, invitation-only awards bash was a veritable who's who of alternative and indie writers, authors, publishers and photographers.
Categories included fiction, non-fiction, poetry, politics, and art/photography. The Beauty of Fetish, by photographer Steve Diet Goedde [the featured photographer in FETISH issue 8 - Ed.], was nominated in the art/photography category, and won - to thunderous applause!
A big, beautiful "coffee table" photo book, The Beauty of Fetish (Edition Stemmle) features text contributed by Goedde's long-time friend and muse, Fetish Diva Midori, who was also in attendance that evening as Goedde's luminous and lovely date.
Our congratulations to Steve Diet Goedde for a job well done - and an award well deserved!
