spotted this adorable 3-year old on npr.org this morning. toyokazu nagano has been shooting portraits of his daugther kenna on a road near their home, which flickr fans have dubbed “magic road.” the portraits are more than adorable, they show off the simplicity of being a kid and having a little fun in front of the camera—far more entertaining than my kid photos, just looking awkward in whatever my mom dressed me in that morning.

i personally know what it is like when a print publication cannot survive during a recession. i saw it happen with my own eyes. i felt the heartache with my own veins. to see a phenominal magazine like domino go the same route was a tragidy.

but don’t start having flashbacks and tearing up just yet. the publication giant Conde Nast is bringing it back to the newsstands and has shined a little hope on those of us who hate watching great publications disappear. it won’t be coming back as its old self, but rather as special issues—hybrids of new and old content.

if that’s what it takes to make publications stronger, i say go for it. we are a forever-evolving culture and print can surely evolve as well.
