WatchHere’s the demo video for the first issue of the magazine. (I’d love to know what you think.)
And I also want to thank anyone who was kind enough to submit a story. I would not have had a magazine without the generous amounts of anonymous submissions I received.

What Happened to Film?
I found out today the CVS near me doesn’t process any kind of film anymore, and yet they have a bunch of kiosks to print digital pictures. It was kind of odd.
Anyways, I was collecting film from a bunch of my cheap, plastic cameras that I carry around with me to take random photos and suddenly became really intrigued by one of the central principles around film: you can’t see the...

Looking for Stories
I’m collecting stories of people experiences with the movement past the loss of someone they care about. It’s could be anything from getting into a fight with your significant other or losing your grandmother. It could be the feeling like your losing yourself and then slowly finding your way back.

But more often than not, I feel like I stumble into good stories instead of being able to consciously cultivate them throughout my...

What's Already Out There
Sadly, the current iPad magazine applications are lacking. They are essentially print magazines cut up into digital form. It’s as if the magazine companies want to people reading digital magazines to feel like their reading print magazines. But what’s wrong with embracing the capabilities of a digital format? There is so much more they could do with currently available technologies.

What This Thing Is All About
I’ve decided that I’m going to make a book-a-zine.
But first, let me fill in some backstory.
I’m trying to marry two semi-contrasting concepts together. We have concept number one: the book. Conventionally, books are text based stories. You read them front to back, beginning to end. They have a narrative arch that you are supposed to follow in order to understand the story. It’s generally...
