Alec Soth stays sane by staying put – City Pages (Minneapolis/St. Paul)
: If Beverly Hills has a Main Street, it’s Rodeo Drive—three blocks of palm trees and designer boutiques with names like Armani, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton.

But it was…

Golfweek's Bland Rage – Blogs Design and Production @ FolioMag.com via PDN Pulse
: Lots of buzz online about the termination of editor Dave Seanor over this cover, which refers to a thoughtlessly stupid remark by golf anchor Kelly Tighman.

MoMA.org | Exhibitions | 2008 | Jan De Cock | Interview
