Anthology Contributors
A big THANK YOU to every single person who has tweeted about Anthology magazine, hit the "Like" button on Facebook, and purchased an issue or yearly subscription. I really can't put into words how gratifying it is to know that there are others out there, like Meg and me, who value print magazines. We started this crazy thing because of the void we felt in the market, and it's nice to see such an outpouring of support.
And there's another group of folks who I need to thank — our amazing contributors. Here's a rundown of a handful of the people who I was lucky enough to work with on at least one photo shoot for our first issue:
Grant K. Gibson (interior designer) - I met Grant in early 2009 when I interviewed him for my weekly column with the SF Chronicle. He was an absolute delight and I'm so glad we've remained in contact.
Jordan Ferney (stylist) - Like many of you, I've been reading Jordan's blog for a long time. Our first face-to-face interaction was quite a while ago — back when she was pregnant with her older son Moses. I've gotten to know Jordan better over the years and am constantly in awe of not only her creativity, but her ability to execute on her vision.
Kelley Lilien (stylist) - You know how vivacious and fun Kelley comes across on her blog? Well, that is exactly how she is in person. In addition to having a great eye, she is one smart lady.
Laure Joliet (photographer) - I met Laure through Apartment Therapy (she writes for the LA edition; I used to write for the SF site). She is as sweet as she is talented. She is doing so many great things, and I'm positive you'll be seeing her name a lot more!
Lisa Congdon (artist) - Lisa was kind enough to help us out with the shoot for our video, "Print Is Not Dead." She is a busy lady, so we were thrilled that she could take some time out of her schedule and lend us a hand. (Did you know she has a book coming out next spring?)
There were about two dozen others who contributed to Anthology and they are truly all-stars. Starting a magazine is a great excuse to work with people whose work you've long admired!
