Can you spot how many photo shoots are going on in this one image? The incredible thing about these images is not the images themselves. The incredible thing is that I managed to ruin $75 worth of Impossible film during …
Read: First Stop in the New World
I have to admit, my view of Mexico City was similar to author David Lida’s when he made his first trip. “Ah, Mexico City…crime, pollution, kidnappings, etc.” And after reading this book, yes, true to some degree, but perhaps not …
Dispatches: Myles Haselhorst
The past few years have seen an incredible rise in the range and relevance of the photography book. Thankfully. And when I say “book,” I don’t mean JUST the expected, beloved, hardcover behemoths we have come to know and love …
Print: Art Book Collaboration
Okay, this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Edition of one, one-of-a-kind art book. One person works on it, then the next, then the next, etc. It travels the world. Artist, painter, photographer, author, illustrator, etc. “I …

Read: The Devil’s Highway, Luis Alberto Urrea
I dare you to try and read this book without crying. I’m a total badass, so I could do it, but most people will burst into tears by about chapter two. As an experiment I explained the plot to my …
