Letter from the Editor: Let’s Make Art and Smell the Color 9

Forget forcing the issue, let’s go absurd for a moment. Dare to try with us as we use other senses to explore life outside of preordained ways of being. Rather than getting wrapped up on what has to happen, or being consumed by how something should look in an image or experience, let’s let go of control, just for a moment if you will and explore the unknown.

Whether it’s making art in the studio, or a pathway to some other worldly goal of achievement, there is no one right way to go about things. In this issue, we dive into multiple pathways to model-dom, healthy living, accessory styling satisfaction, saving yourself from password heartache, and a tip on a better photo. Giddy Up!

Letter from the Editor: 15 Years a New Yorker…

Light and sweet, please, I say to the counter gal at the Italian bakery down the street from me in Astoria. If you're a New Yorker, you know what's up. Milk, 2 sugars, Bunn brewed coffee with that orange handled carafe, that tastes better than any bougie coffee you could think of when coming back from a 6am street shoot in FiDi, and suffice it to say, I know bougie, and coffee. I've had my fair share of cups of coffee over the years. When I was a printing apprentice with Chuck, who was from India, the bodega across the street made his coffee like the kind he had living in India... half a bag of sugar, 3 creams, splash of coffee and a Marlboro Red to go. I'd have the same, sans cigarette.

Letter from the Editor: Flowers and Photos with a Capital H

In the hearty face-maskless days pre-Covid I found myself in face to face meetings about 10 times a week. Most of these meetups business oriented, with occasional dabblings, (yeah that's right, dabblings) in dating often had me with a camera on my person. Like a gun in the Wild West, or your cup of coffee as you race out the door, a camera is always on me.

Don’t Iron the Shirt

I know, controversial, right? But seriously, don't over think it. What's your day to day outfit of choice? Do you spend 30 mins (+) organizing your outfit, or do you roll out of bed and step into your casual uniform of jeans, t-shirt and comfortable shoes? Obsessed with Fashion, or vaguely aware of it on your commute to work?
