Today is exactly 1000 days ago that BURN Magazine published my first image of YAKUZA... and what an adventure that was to become. I must say I had no clue.
So we made it. A tremendous collaborative effort led by super talented Diego Orlando, we created, printed and published our second book over at BURN Magazine, and we named it “BURN.02″.

The book is literally flying out the door… We printed a first edition of a... Read the Rest →
...and a huge shout out to James Estrin... thanks!
So proud and humbled by what we achieved in little over 10 months...Check out the post on BURN Magazine...
David Alan Harvey and I started Burn Magazine in December 2008, just before Christmas. We both committed to BURN in NYC in December 2008 (after a large gathering of great friends & fellows where the BURN idea actually crystallized – read this), shook hands, and simply went for it.
