Over the past year, I've been fortunate to befriend and collaborate with Bill Daniel.
Bill has done pretty much everything I've ever wanted to do. Seriously. He's published zines. He's made films. He's been in dank basements watching my favorite punk bands play their earliest shows. He's tracked down the most famous hobo boxcar artist; Lived in amazing cities all over the United States; Has been featured in major art exhibits at the MOCA....

And to top it all off, he's also won a Guggenheim. I'm not exaggerating. He has literally done all of those things. Needless to say,...

Last week we received a copy of RSVP from our friends at One Giant Arm. This is zine is rad. Seriously, I've been flipping through the pages over and over again since last week. These dudes killed it. The layout, content, paper and image quality are really remarkable. You should definitely head over to their site, and pick up a copy before they're gone. Limited print of 60.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Making a photo zine is a work of passion. It's a project that will take a lot of your time and money. However, for every minute or dollar you throw into the project, you're rewarded...

Yesterday evening I receive the photo you see above. The woman in the photo, is our new friend Mahsa. She's a photographer and a really nice person. That little gesture, really put things into perspective for me.
Let's face it, starting a new project can be nerve wracking. You willingly sacrifice your money and time. You re-prioritize your life. You revaluate and reflect upon past decisions. And no matter how confident you may be, you're a liar if say you don't spend a little bit of time wondering how you'll be received. Wondering if you'll just be yelling into the wind, talking to yourself.

Goteblüd is currently hosting a show of epic proportions.
Symbol by Dave King.
But why is a show in a super awesome vintage zine store so influential?
Well. Let’s take a little look at what is going on here. Shutterclank! makes a photography zine, and is proud to share their second issue available here. We are steeped in the DIY ethic, creating, organizing, stickering, printing, shooting, film, and so on. We came up listening to killer punk like Crass, hearing about their social activism and emulating them. The creative fire to question. To fight. Against odds and for what you think...
