We collaborated with Smart Car on a billboard that’s being painted right now. As part of a project they’re doing about the “future of the city,” Smart asked six magazines to interpret what that phrase meant. Each design is going up as a billboard by Collosal Media at a different location on the city. For [...]

RIP Corrine Day
August 28, 2010 – 2:28 pm
Photographer Corrine Day is rumored to have died. She was only in her forties but has been suffering from a brain tumor, so, though I hope the rumor is wrong, I’m feeling like it might be true. For those of you not familiar with her, she took the loveliest early photographs of Kate Moss, capturing [...]

Viktor Longo at the Apollo
August 24, 2010 – 5:52 pm
I went to the Apollo for the first time last week for the premiere of the Nike Air Force 1 documentary. I was excited to be there and also a little surprised by how small and cozy it was. And even with the coziness, I can’t imagine the weight it carries as a performer to [...]
Aurel Schmidt at The Fireplace Project
August 20, 2010 – 3:31 pm
It’s August, so I’m going to assume that a good number of you will be in the Hamptons at some point. If you want to check out some art while you’re there, Aurel Schmidt has a solo show opening tomorrow. It’s at The Fireplace Project, a contemporary art gallery in East Hampton, and will be [...]
Crystal Renn
August 20, 2010 – 12:43 pm
I shot Crystal Renn a few years ago and found her to be hands-down one of the best models I have ever had the chance to work with. She takes her job incredibly seriously and thus is seriously good at it. Plus you can’t take a bad picture of her, which I know people say [...]
Well Done, Judge Walker
August 5, 2010 – 1:17 pm
As you have probably heard, on Wednesday Judge Vaughn Walker of California over-turned Prop 8, the 2008 law which rescinded the right to same-sex marriage in California. Thank God. It’s not by any stretch a final victory, but at least it rectifies the wrong perpetuated by a lot of far-right and Mormon money a few [...]
The Accidental Egyptian Book Launch
August 4, 2010 – 12:17 pm
The book The Accidental Egyptian and Occidental Arrangements features over 25 photograph-based collages of xerox imagery on cut paper. Culling from the personal image collection of the authors, Timothy Hull and Paul Mpagi Seputa, the collages talk about personal relationships and arrangements, with repeating portraits and images of coastal Maine, rainforests and ruins. The book is [...]
Open Air Movies
August 3, 2010 – 11:14 am
One of my absolute favorite things in New York in the summer is outdoor movies. Last summer, as you may remember, it rained every single weekend, and every Thursday as well, so I never managed to get to see any of the movies at Brooklyn Bridge Park. This summer I’ve been traveling so much I [...]
Pamela Love and the CFDA
July 28, 2010 – 6:23 pm
Our good friend and Dossier contributing editor Pamela Love is one of the ten finalists for this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award. Talking to her about it a few weeks ago, I realized how much I didn’t know about what it is, the process for applying, and how the award itself works.
The basic deal is [...]
