I tracked Storm Dennis for a week. Chiara had hit the UK and Northern Europe hard, right before I left for Amsterdam, and I was concerned. Schiphol Airport had been interrupted, with many flights delayed, and there was flooding across England. So yeah, I was worried. Throw in the wall-to-wall scare coverage about the coronavirus outbreak, and I was more than worried. I was crap-my-pants-frightened as I left my house for the big trip. Fucking Storm Dennis was looming out there, a Bomb Cyclone. The European version of a hurricane. Yet when I asked people about … [Read more...]

Please note: This thread is not affiliated with any company; I’m just featuring projects that I find.  Please DO NOT send me your work.  I do not take submissions.   Today’s … [Read more...]

  Steve Peixotto Heidi: Did you stage this bowling alley image, tell us how this photo came to be. Steve: It seems like almost always; shoots are magical.  We work really hard to create the opportunity for chance to go the right direction and somehow it works.  Yes this image is staged, BUT there was no shortage of magic. Do you grow up bowling? I’ve been connected to bowling as long as I can remember. The couple in the photo was on a team in “The Twilight Twirlers”, the Tuesday night league my mom and dad bowled in for something like … [Read more...]

Peter Yang Who printed it? Madison Print Solutions Printed on with a 4 color process on an HD Indigo 12000 Who designed it? David Calderley of Graphic Therapy Tell me about the images? Andy Samberg: This was shot quite a while back at Sun Studios in NY. It was one of my favorite spots and was sad to see when they closed. During the Andy shoot, I noticed this really cool spot architecturally and thought it would be funny to see Andy’s head peeking around the corner. It kinda reminds me of a moment in an old cartoon. It was actually a pretty tough shot to execute, … [Read more...]

  “The very basis for the existence of human society has become corroded with brutality, doubt, cynicism and distortion of truth- and the end is not yet in sight.” -Albert Einstein   I’m the last guy you’d expect to defend Donald Trump, right? Of all the people you know, (if this counts as knowing me,) you’d never predict that I’d go the mat for old DJT, would you? Except it happened last week, and I was as shocked as you are. The conversation wasn’t even about politics, but a like-minded, similar friend, (liberal, … [Read more...]

  I’m keeping it super-short today. (Like, for real.) If all goes well, as you read this, I’ll be on my way to Amsterdam to supervise printing of my first book. I’m a ball of nerves, if I’m being honest, but the upside is, I’ll have lots of new things to write about for you. Between the global panic over the corona virus outbreak, and the fact that I’m flying into a bomb cyclone hurricane, (Storm Dennis,) I think you’ll allow me a rare quickie. To balance the brevity, though, we’re going heavy. Here’s the … [Read more...]
