Made by Hand The Knife Maker

2011-11-06T00:46:32-05:00

Earlier this week, I released The Knife Maker, the second film in the Made by Hand series. This time we pointed our camera at writer turned knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. He talks about the human element of craft, and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. And in sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade — a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash. I can’t express enough gratitude for the inspiration, candor and friendship I’ve received from Joel.

Humans of New York

2011-09-18T12:23:35-05:00

Brandon Stanton’s photojournalistic project, Humans of New York is a wonderful idea in which he photographs portraits of people in the city and plots the images onto an interactive map of the neighborhoods he found them in.
