Snapixel Issue 10

Creativity is something you can try to avoid for a while, but you can never escape it. 

I used to write, interview, design and edit for the photography magazine Snapixel. The following three articles are from Issue 10 of the magazine. 

I particularly liked writing and designing Edward Olive's story - his wedding photography is defiant and sexy, highlighting the undercurrent of desire that is often downplayed in that genre. In contrast to Olive's smoldering B&W photos, fashion bloggers streetpeeper & theSFstyle provided bright and colorful images that were fun to play around with. Finally, I did a Q&A with Instragram co-founder Kevin Systrom that's featured at the end of the issue. Instagram was launched in October 2010 and we did this Q&A with him at the end of that year. Pretty cool looking back at those thoughts before Instagram became the heavyweight that it is today.

Life is crazy and hectic and heartbreaking and exhilarating all at the same time. It's hard to know what you want out of it and even more difficult to admit what you're lacking. 

Before joining the corporate world, I had a job at the now-defunct photography magazine Snapixel, where I used to write, interview, design and edit. It was a pretty amazing gig, except that I couldn't pay rent.
