LETTER FROM THE EDITOR NEW Year, New You... BS It’s MY Photo and I’ll Smile if I want to. I’ve never been big on this whole reinvent yourself guru mantra that gets spread at the beginning of every new year. Maybe it’s because my birthday always looms a mere few weeks...
THANK YOU FROM THE EDITOR Some would say this edition is a little late, that Christmas has already passed and we're on to New Years. However, being raised Christian by a Roman Catholic and Orthodox Ukrainian, the 12 days of Christmas takes on longer journey, or in my...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR I'll Take: Staying in New York during the holidays for $500, Alex. It's that time of year. Pumpkin everything, parades, gift nightmares, travel woes, and family drama. Have I covered it all? Not likely but you get the point. Me, I stick it out...

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR It was the second to last image we created*. (Editors note - I actually hate the word shot/shoot in this instance. Puts up a bit of a barrier in the collaborative process, of which most photographers will opine. Most famously Ansel Adam's “You...
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Likely our most imaginative, provocative and downright fun editions yet, I'm curious to hear the chatter on this Valentinian launch. Honestly, I've never put much stock in to Valentine's Day. Past girlfriends are quick to remind me of this with...
