Lay Flat 01: Remain in Light

I am equally as excited about the new issue of Shane Lavalette's Lay Flat 01: Remain in Light as most of the bloggers: Shane Lavalette's Journal, Asian Photography Blog, and Hey Hot Shot. What initially prompted my purchase was the title of Cara Phillips essay The Secessionists Revisited: Artist Collectives in the Age of the Blog and an excerpt of the essay from my friend Darius Himes that I found on his blog. You can see images from the magazine like the one here titled Picnics #1, 2007 — from the series Picnics 2007 by Hiroyo Kaneko at Flak Photo. Andy Adams is offering up a few until February 27. You can place an order now at layflat.org and I believe the issue is shipping around March 1, 2009.
