Hamburger Eyes

Another source of inspiration for photography of mine is the San Francisco based Hamburger Eyes. They publish a magazine of photographs and also operate a dark room in the city. They also have a hard cover book out as of 2007.
Check out this recent post on their blog about photography and the future of photobooks:
Notice the decline in big publishers, yet the massive birth of brand new small publishers in this year alone. At one time print on demand services were a sketchy idea, now it’s pretty normal.
They talk a bit about photographers getting rid of blogs and flickr account in favor of publishing which I’m not sure I agree with (keep in mind I’m only a hobbyist photographer, maybe its different if photography is you vocation). I just find so many amazing things and photographers and things via blogs and flickr. I suppose they’re just saying that’s nice, but if you want to be serious, you need to be published. I do fully subscribe to the diy ethic of just making stuff and putting it out and the power of the printed page in the world of digital media. Make your own books. Shoot your own photos. Just like Hamburger eyes.
I’m also listening to this Heartbroken mixtape. Man, photos, zines and mixtapes. The good life.
