So with the new book in the works, a new website and a new direction, it follows that the brand ID was due for a bit of a facelift. I’ve been working with the very talented group over at Skaggs Design to bring the essence of this new work to the printed page and [...]
The New York Times reported today on the front page of the Arts section about 126 Rolls of previously unseen work by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour during the Spanish Civil War that the ICP has uncovered and scanned for preservation.

PDN’s photo of the day features seven images of Mark Leibowitz’s Backstage series at John Galliano’s Fall 08 and Spring 09 shows in Paris.

While pornography and tobacco aren’t really breakfast table conversation material, the comparison between the two struck me. Mary Eberstadt, of the Hoover Institution, compares the two in a fascinating piece about what she calls “reversal [...]
So now that the bulk of the real work has been done (the shoot, editing and post production) the fun bit begins. I’m about halfway through printing the new book (3 in total) and its nice to see how the images are coming together. Some I’ve seen already way too much, and others [...]
