my father's friends just started
this fantastic quarterly magazine.
naturally, they tweaked its
finer details in Danang...
during monsoon
season.

so good.

in an age of crappy 24/7
news media and sensational
reportage, dispatches celebrates
the elegance of journalism and
the best of print & photo,
...in the rare essay form.

of one very cool lady from
this great circle of friends.

Erwin E. Smith





...thinking about buffalo in wyoming,
the smell of leather saddles, roping gloves
greasy griddles, and my beat-up jeans
from long pack trips in the
wind river range.

ps: this whole 'denim hunter'
concept is kind of ironic.

zak kitnick




zak gave me a
nice tour of the
Navy Yards



2 or 3 things to know...

1. Zak doesn't read fiction

2. he is amazed by the scale of things:
bolts, bridge trusses, horses...and
the navy yard where he works.

3. loves dolly parton and bruce springsteen.

4. he draws, paints, sculpts, cuts...
no medium is neglected.

5. his work has the "raw, awkward energy
and sharp social commentary"
of downtown nyc - 1980's

6. zing would love him!

7. on May 16 (7-9 pm)
he'll be over here

8. plowshares
