I met Michael Magowski in person for the first time as we observed the infrared light and it’s affect on his latest scenic dessert photos. While the gallery scene is typically known for being an exclusive niche in larger metropolitan areas, the owner of Violet Hour provides an antithesis to this notion. His pieces hung on a wall selling for a hundred dollars each, which is lower than the listings

As we fought droves of people, while we made our way into Tahrir square, one thing was apparent, Revolution was in the air. Throngs of Egyptians waving flags and chanting slogans united together for peaceful change marched through to Tahrir Square. As we approached our entrance, I was frisked, and had my passport checked. Contrary to my preconceptions, the civilians checking passports and clearing

Stepping into Big’s Bar & Grill on a Wednesday night is like stepping into a time warp and coming out at a live taping of American Bandstand. The screens on the walls play video from vintage films of the 50’s and early 60’s, guys all cuff their jeans and wear stylish porkpie and sport snap caps, and girls wear polka dot dresses, or something reminiscent of old coca-cola advertisements from the era
