Spreads - Adirondack Life / Dec 2012 • click to embiggenAs previously mentioned, some of my The Forks ~ there's no place like home pictures were going to be published in a feature article in Adirondack Life magazine. I now have in hand the December 2012 issue of Adirondack Life which includes that article.
The layout/design of the article is quite visually pleasing. It looks more like that found in a photo book / magazine than it does like that most often seen in a general interest magazine layout - lots of white space and very nice typography. And, as an added bonus, one spread in the article is the center spread of the magazine.
The pictures in the article are prefaced by the Artist Statement from my gallery exhibition / body of work, The Forks ~ there's no place like home, and thereafter by quotes from a few Au Sable Forks residents. IMO, those quotes add a very personal / human overlay to the pictures. Each picture is also identified by its title.
a humorous and instructive (how people look at pictures wise) aside: I was showing the article to a neighbor - who also happens to be a town supervisor - and as he was viewing the Clouds / Stewarts picture on the first spread, he gave a little laugh and said "Until I read the title, I didn't even see the clouds ... I was looking to see who it was who was pumping gas."

my response: NO, I did not participate in any manner with layout / art direction. Although ... they do have a copy of my book, The Forks ~ there's no place like home, which has my "standard" wide white border layout/design. Don't know if that influenced them in any way ....

I look forward to the issue.
Looks like they did a nice job. Did you participate in the layouts or art direction?
