Food For Thought
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Sitting in a coffee shop listening to a relative stranger tell her story, I was hooked. The story was the pivot of all pivots in a time when chaos ruled, and a virus had shut down life and seemingly hope... well not entirely. Everyone around the...
The Stress Test
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Everyone has a story. No doubt I’m not breaking new ground in that statement. Whether it’s a commercial/private client, or a test shoot, I’ve got to get the story, their story, generally because I’m curious about people and even more so of who’s...
Blossoming
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR So, it’s the end of May. Ideally we try to get these magazines out at the beginning of the month, but then life happens and you’re closer to Memorial Day than you are Mother’s Day. But all in all that seems appropriate for this month’s edition....

At Home with Bryan Wells
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...
Refracted Faces of David Skeist
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR No, this is not some exhausted ode to Al Pacino a la Scarface, however eyes are usually the first thing I notice on a new acquaintance, and that usually gets me curious as to what's behind them... what had made them. In David's case I saw a...
