Interview: Loretta Nguyen from FiftySeven-ThirtyThree

This is a snipit from their bio. I love the description and wanted to share it with those that haven't read yet: "We draw from an urban aesthetic where multi-culturalism and pop culture merge with inner city decay, graffiti and a lo-tech DIY sensibility. We look back at our culture to see what has endured and use it as a road map to where we're going. As a culture, we are mixing elements from around the world to create the future. It's important, as Americans that we see beyond… Continue

Photo Tip: What Inspires You

This was a hard week to figure out what to write. After weeks of writing tips on producing great photos, I'm not sure if these posts are helpful or confusing. It's a blank stare. No comments, nothing like "Could we focus on this?" or "Could you not include that?"

We need your help - what direction do you need most for photo tips? What would you like to see? Any comments are welcome (be gentle, please!) and we'd love to hear from you, so drop an email to julie@sma… Continue

This approach gives a very clean, professional… Continue
