Name From Me To You
Location New York City
First Post May 4, 2009

Jamie Beck knew she was a photographer ever since she picked up her mom’s Pentax camera at age 13. Since then, she’s strived every day to improve her craft. Her Tumblr blog overflows with her work, her travels, and her adventures in food. A contributor to dozens of editorial, food, art, and fashion magazines, Jamie created the ongoing Polaroid Project earlier this year. “What I love about Polaroid film is the notion that you only get one shot. Unlike digital where you can take hundreds on the same subject, the limitations of Polaroid film make you slow down and really be ready to capture a single image,” she says.

Name FAUX FIX
Location Connecticut

A collage of art-pop and hauntingly intimate vocals, Faux Fix is the studio brainchild of hypnotic chanteuse Katie Chastain and indie film composer Nathan Johnson (Brick, The Brothers Bloom). Simultaneously ethereal and beat-driven, the songs liberally mix instruments and influences to form a backdrop of electro-theatrical arrangements. Final touches are being put on a full-length album now.

Name Piano Across America
Location Denver (next up: Chicago)

In April, Dotan Negrin started a journey to develop himself as a pianist. He left New York with his dog, Brando, his upright piano, and a plan to cross the country and perform in improbable public places along the way. Today, Dotan finds a deeper meaning in his experiences. “My mission is to inspire people to create unique projects like this, to pursue their passions. I believe anyone can do anything if they have enough passion,” he says.
