Frances Cirenza — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:47:18 -0500

Lay Flat is a newish nonprofit (founded by photographer Shane Lavalette) seeking to help artists create awesome photo books. Founded in January of 2009, they are still getting their feet wet.

They work with both up-and-coming and more established artists to "create books that express a vision and exist as artful objects in themselves." Lay Flat also publishes a magazine.

Their books are Lay Flat 01: Remain in Light (out now) and Lay Flat 02: META (coming soon).

Young places like this are a great way to gain a lot of experience quickly. If you are in the Boston area and in school, check out their internship.

Sophia Betz — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 12:23:29 -0400

Via Adobe's John Nack comes this awesome stop-motion Photoshop video, made by 15-year-old Josh Sunshine and his dad.

Lately, I've noticed more than a smattering of these tangible, self-referential representations of software, virtual technologies, and computer-related concepts in general. Is this an attempt to get back to basics, back to a kind of tactile approach to the world?

Test out your own mind-bending trial of Photoshop CS4.
