Lean Into It!
Digital entertainment has redefined the way we view the cycles of our favorite aesthetics and designs. As culture and entertainment accelerates, we’re left in a constant, frantic frenzy of style invention, aesthetic perversion, and entertainment subversion. This is why when I edit a photo, I edit for the surreal.

Her Best Photo
This obsession had officially taken over. Her grace was gone, her confidence had withered and what was once a brilliantly white notebook was drenched into a hue of black. When Marlene Burkett first began this search, she never imagined that she would go this far or become this consumed within it. That night of her gallery opening became the most defining event in her 25 years of life. A life that was froth with perfection and beauty. A life that exuded the scent of privilege and utter acceptance in everything she did. Every photo she ever took, the classically beautiful and the unmistakably stunning, she couldn’t look at the same. The stylized descriptions she wrote in her notebook about these photos with her once exquisite penmanship now seemed vapid and unimportant. The descriptions, as Marlene took more risky and more vulnerable photos, were written with the hand of a lost, frustrated, and disillusioned person. It was a small and almost indistinguishable font with short blunt lines and mysterious black smudges all over the paper.

Capturing Beauty
My Highschool was lucky enough to have a series of photo tech class' that included access to a dark room. It was an elective that filled quick so I jumped at the opportunity to join as soon as I could. It was in that class that I learned what made an image appealing to the eye.

Nouveau Edit: The Wisdom of a Novice
It has been said that the most important tool that the armies of old could have at their disposal was not the quality of their officers, not supply lines, nor weapons; this conduit that connects victory and vision, this necessity possessed in spirit by the god of war, Ares, this grossly underestimated and yet so immensely impactful bludgeon of success against foe or enemy of an enemy of an enemy alike, is boots.

Artsy Fartsy
Editing starts long before a photo is ever taken. Every day, we are making thousands of edits to our lives. Choosing the turkey sandwich on brown bread instead of white, picking the darkly coloured orange instead of the lighter one with a green tinge. Choosing to wear your favourite t-shirt instead of the new sweater your grandmother gave you, the one with the too-cute fluffy white cats.

Another Side of Dubai 2# Creek Fishnets
My name is Matthew Baker and I’m an artist who grew up in York in England. When I make a joke to my friends from New York about the fact that we are the original they never take particularly kindly to it. Which is fair enough.

The Blueprint of my Hometown
Time is running out and I am at last realizing that there has been a black and white filter altering the first version of my town. That being said, the original account is no longer available in its full life edition. What has been recorded in memories, pictures, written proofs, and so on are all valid for the sake of this account.

Jersey Love - Essex County
Jersey has a different rep amongst different crowds. Unless you're in Atlantic City, Jersey is not really a tourist place. You might go to see the Devils at the Prudential Center and then hopping on the Path Train home. So what should one think of when they think of Jersey? Guidos and Italian food? Naughty by Nature and Fetty Wap? So many differences can make Jersey feel disconnected. One of the main stereotypes of Jersey is that it's dirty and industrial. South Jersey is much different from North Jersey. It's nearly like crossing the Mason Dixie line and going into a new state; Essex county, known for its urban arts, has a different vibe than Bergen County, the most expensive county in Jersey. How could a place so small be so divided?.. Well, why not?

Greensboro, NC
The Colorful Parking Garage Greensboro. My home. My town. I was born in Burlington, NC just a little ways away from Greensboro. I’ve had family to stay near Greensboro and it has always been like a second home to me. From mall visits, Celebration Station, and to Wet N Wild! Greensboro made my childhood AMAZING! This was where some of my most significant memories lie.
