Andrew Quality, World Press Photos, 22 May 2008.

I have been working on a zine for the past 7 days. After a few false starts I finally came up with an idea I was happy with. This is my first time using a photo kiosk. They are convenient but who was the smart cookie that designed them using these screens. You can only view photos on these screens correctly if you are sitting directly in front of the monitor. View the screen at a slight angle and the colours and brightness of the images are distorted. I was about to brighten up 420 photos.

420 photos printed in 30 minutes.

Then I got 42 covers of the zine printed on heavy paper stock.

I've never managed to use up a box of photo corners before. I've brought six boxes for the zine.

Zine sweat shop.

About 10 hours later.

The zine, New York, comes in 14 different issues. Each issue is printed in editions of 3, 42 zines hand made.

The next day I sold two zines before even getting them to Joe for the zine fair. He wanted to buy the whole series, 14 issues.

Saw some magic.

This is Ritchey's store An:Other. One drunken night people started putting their heights on the door.

Today Ritchey put up mine.

Saw Hai in front of Foto Riesel. He was trying to sell his M6 so he could visit his parents overseas.

Some one did a story on Skatetopia.

This photo looks like it was lifted straight out of a movie.

This was my favourite series.

My mate Andrew Quality won.
