Gallery: A Zach and Jessica Collaboration

I went to India over the summer, and when I came back from the trip I almost had forgotten about the numerous pictures I had taken. But a friend of mine said, why don’t we go through them and see if we can’t edit them. So me and Jessica Valle (who already has a fantastic gallery on Playtime) combed through them and selected images we both dug. We flowed together perfectly and pulled photos out that I had just taken for my own amusement and made them work. …

Q&A with Jessica Evalyn Valle

Featured Artist Of The Month: Mark S. Gagne

I first met him on the Icine forums as Marv, a poster with a penchant for naughty humour, a deep fondness of movies and an artistic streak that became increasingly apparent as I got to know him better. Playtime Magazine sought him out and we sat down for an exclusive interview with this promising artist.

Hub Express

Because I was a movie buff long before I started taking pictures, I worship cinematographer Christopher Doyle the way other street photographers worship Henri Cartier-Bresson. I’m especially drawn to the rich but melancholy sense of romance Doyle created for director Wong Kar-Wai in films like Chungking Express.
