Speaking of magazines, I was devastated when this one was cancelled. I own and continuously browse every single issue. This is one of my favorite images of all (Domino) time. I love how it seems symmetrical and "not" at the same time. The fact that the photo was taken through those Bertoia chairs is the icing on the cupcake. Genius.

I actually appreciate this photo more now that you pointed out the asymmetry. The palette is so pristine, but its a pleasure (mostly psychologically) for me to know that pictures, balance can be askew and still look pulled together. As an aside, I have never been a fan of pairs; rather, I like the odd number of objects as it feels more organic.
Did you notice that the picture in the back mimics the Bertoia hatching? They build on each other.
i was so sad when domino went kapoot! i still can`t believe it didn`t last... i thought everyone loved it as much as i did. :(
love this image though... and love hearing your comments on it.
Lydia- I did NOT notice that but....you would ;) I did notice that the top left appears to be what I think is a carved sling-shot? Would love to know what that yellow piece is too--top right. Marissa- I think everyone loved it, it was a fantastic magazine. I understand the power of the 'net is causing advertisers to be more stingy with their publication dollars...so sad but the advertising is really what keeps publications afloat, not the subscribers.
