ZOO Daily :: I Am Not A Fashion Photographer :: An Interview with Mary Ellen Mark

I was nervous enough as it was when I found out that Mary Ellen Mark, formerly of the New Yorker, winner of countless awards, once voted the most influential female photographer, was about to have a conversation with me for ZOOZOOM Magazine, but tension suddenly grew tenfold when I found myself talking to an incredibly shaken version of the stoic eccentric I concocted from reading interviews.

ZOO Daily :: Celebrate Cinco De Mayo

It's Cinco de Mayo and it's time for some Tequila ... and as luck should have it, we just received a beautiful black box sealed with wax & leather. In it is a sleek looking bottle of 1800 Select Silver Tequila, so being a Monday morning and very much the beginning of the week, better to start it off with a kick. What a kick ... we can't think of a better way to start the week. We celebrate our Mexican friends and French enemies. We love our jobs ... and you can too. Just subscribe to win a bottle of 1800 Select Silver. We'll draw the winner at 5pm today (Monday May 5th), and if you're in Manhattan, well bike you the bottle so you can celebrate tonight! more...
