August Recap

August has been an exciting month! Not only did we bring some of the content recapped below, but we closed on our first Call for Entry! It was a lot of fun working with so many great photographers – on a daily basis we got to see fresh work come in. We’re incredibly excited to launch our Kickstarter for the resulting book. It will show work from 100 photographers, produced with offset printing. In addition, we’ve got some very exciting ideas for unique pieces to collect from the Kickstarter, and truly cannot wait to show these great artists to the world!
