Creative: Look3 Journal One
Fireflies. Streaked like missile trails. Incoming through the muggy Virginia lush. I want to love it here. Rolling, these hills. Like you would want them to be, but mountains on the horizon through the streaked windshield revealing my ignorance. The …

I love being blamed for things. Such is the case with “Armed with Rubber Chickens” a book brought to you by photographer/editor Andrew Molitor. This is a custom book. An 8×10 softcover, a collaboration amongst photographers, then edited, designed and …

Print: ebb+ by Chloe Ferres
I’ve featured Chloe Ferres here before and I’m sure I will do so again. She makes great books. In fact, a book we did together last year, with Andrew Kaufman, was recently up for a book of the year award. …

I heart Magcloud. This is a very slick platform that is worth your time and energy. I prefer the “standard,” or magazine format, and I also love “Digest,” which is what you are seeing here. Inexpensive, great printing and very …
