The second issue of Steady, entitled “Embark”, is a black and white study of foreign travel. The magazine’s introduction explains:

“With all of the media immediately available to us in the digital age, there is never a shortage of inspiration for artists of any kinds. There are endless internet videos to show us corners of the world we could never have imagined otherwise. All of this plus the luxury of being able to watch them in the palm of our hand ensures it is never a problem to feel motivated to travel.

What separates a true adventurer from a dreamer is acting on that initial spark. Turning an idea into a reality at the time of that fleeting moment when you have just enough gusto and enthusiasm to move. There will always be reasons not go- work, personal life, finances, etc.- but sometimes it is important to ignore the reasons not to go and say yes to pursuing travel for, if nothing else, the sake of inspiration.

The newness of a foreign world has a funny way of reminding of how small you are, how big our earth is, and how much unknown there is to be discovered. It is that feeling of newness that inspired this issue.”
The issue is divided into three chapters, one per contributor, each preluded by a scan of the photographer’s passport, the stamp showing the country in which their photo series was taken. Dan Zvereff opens the issue with photographs from Afghanistan, Justin Hogan has the middle section of pages with shots from Mexico, and Brian Kelley’s images from Myanmar close out the last pages.

ABOUT STEADY: Founded by Brian Kelley, Dan Zvereff and Justin Hogan, Steady was built on the desire to see photography printed. In the age where photography has been so far removed from its original, manual process, the Steady creators seek to bring back the analog nature of the medium.
Steady is printed bi-monthly and distributed for free. “Embark” will be available for digital download at http://www.steadyzine.com but the founders encourage New York City locals to pick up a hard copy at one of the stockists listed below.

I’m really excited to announce that Flip The Script will be hitting store shelves March 8 2013. I just got my advance copy. This has been a project ten years in the making. Over the last few years I have been very fortunate to have so many amazing writers open themselves to share their art & talents, insights, histories and personal stories with me.

The Handselect project and Flip The Script, the book has been a passion of analysing graffiti handstyles, interviewing artists from the different and most influential cities around the USA, placing them in a context that few outsiders understand and discovering some factoids that many of the best writers themselves were unaware of until we unearthed them in the process.

Stay tuned for more leaks and hit up our mailing list over at   http://www.handselecta.com   facebook,   instagram and   tumblr. There will be different promotions on each of these networks in the coming weeks.

Below is a short preview of the content and interviews that you can look forward to in more detail in the book. Acknowledgments and gratitude to ThanksCamera for the technical support for the video.

This is the trailer for the documentary The Legend of Cool “Disco” Dan. Narrated by Henry Rollins. The world premiere will take place at 8pm on Saturday February 23 at the AFI Silver Theater located in Silver Spring Maryland.
