The Mystery Deepens
Oh dear. After my scoop “identifying” the source photograph and photographer of Shepard Fairey’s iconic HOPE poster, Purchase College digital photography teacher Nathan Lunstrum came up with a different image that appears to be a better and less convoluted match.

SKATE BOOK VOL 3 FEATURING BART SIMPSON
One of the skate world’s best-kept secrets is the ultra-collectible but hard to find SKATE BOOK. A 350+ page hardcover “mag,” from the minds of skaters SALMAN AGAH and MIKE BALLARD, the refreshingly formatted quarterly periodical is a welcome departure from the copycat skate mags that could once call themselves cutting-edge.

Editor's Note – National Geographic
Sometimes it takes the worst to see people at their best. For Bobby Model, a photographer who has worked for this magazine and a world-class climber, the worst happened two years ago while traveling in Cape Town, South Africa, with his sister, Faith. A concrete block crashed through the windshield and struck his head, causing massive brain injuries. Doctors doubted he would survive. Though never solved, the case was investigated as an act of random violence. That’s the darkest side of humanity.

photo-eye | Magazine — Ward 81
Mary Ellen Mark has the rare ability to make her empathy visible. I believe, but cannot prove, that this is rooted in how she connects to her subjects. The photographic artifact is proof of that connection. This is not rooted in photographic skill or artistry—Avedon did not have it, nor does Penn, and I very much admire their work. Robert Bergman does, as did Diane Arbus.
Working for Mary Ellen was a rich experience on at least two levels: First, by expecting serious attention to the work at hand she made me a better printer (and a better photographer). Second is the not insignificant pleasure of working with good photographs.

Designing Dispatches
Gary Knight says he wanted dispatches to be “highly portable,” so each issue is a blocky little book 5 ¾ X 7 ¾ inches, small enough to fit in a camera bag, briefcase, or jacket pocket. The magazine, which has published lengthy photo essays by Yuri Kozyrev, Antonin Kratochvil and others, is distinguished by its modest, plain brown paper cover.

Everything is Terrible
Everything is Terrible explain their utterly perfect name: “The way I see it, there can only be great movies and terrible movies. Mediocre movies are the absolute worst. The fact that our name ends in an exclamation point is because we love the fact that the world sucks. We want to rub our faces in it.” Or, if you prefer more of a battle cry, “Terrible, which is everything! Therefore everything is worthy and thus every quality of everything is Terrible! Hence forth and so one making everything Terrible!”
Here are some of my favorites so far – all featuring really creepy men.
