Once a month I get really excited about getting mail. With all the bills that seem to come, getting the mail can get depressing at times. It seems like no one sends cards through the mail anymore, everyone sends e-cards now…YES I am guilty of this too. So the only time you get funny sweet cards is on your birthday. Well, that’s only one day a year…what about the other 364 days (minus Sundays and holidays of course). What gets you excited to walk to the mailbox? For me it’s simple…magazines!!! I subscribe to various photography magazines and other fashion magazines, but my favorite of all is “W” Magazine. I love the imagery in “W” Magazine, it is always unique and cutting edge. Their photography always pushes the limits and really makes you see “outside” the box. I love glancing at the amazing artistic talent that graces its pages. It is always a good day when “W” arrives…it puts me in a happy mood and inspires me as a photographer. Today was especially nice, since this issue showcased a photo of Brad Pitt. One word…YUMMY! On the cover is a beautiful black & white portrait shot by the renowned American painter and photographer, Chuck Close. Click here to read the interview in its entirety.
