Walter and his family headed south for the season as of yesterday, but he sent me these photos—all crimson and winter blue—before they departed. This will be the last we’ll see of Montauk through Walter’s eyes…for now.

I know this isn’t a food blog, but I couldn’t resist posting a link to this recipe for coconut cake with chocolate chunks and coconut drizzle. It’s from the January 2010 issue of Bon Appetit, and Hans Gissinger—who knows a few things about stunning sweets—photographed the delightful dessert in question.

Andrea Smith, Jim’s studio manager, had mentioned to me this fall that Jim was cooking up a new website, and I’m happy to report it’s now gone live. The URL is the same—FiscusPhoto.com—but the new site, which Jim created in collaboration with liveBooks, features both stills and motion.

Theirs is a love story so incredible, even Strifetime—I mean, Lifetime—would find it implausible if it hadn’t actually happened. Last January, Ben Bostic and Laura Zych were passengers on US Airways flight 1549, which was forced to land on the Hudson River after colliding with a flock of geese. They were strangers at the time, [...]

Print may no longer be the mainstream medium of choice, but it’s still a star in the world of small-edition publishing. Last week, I wrote about Arkitip, which produces unique sets of magazines in collaboration with artists and others. And today marks the debut of the new issue of Nomenus Quarterly, which is published online [...]

…
James Cooper of Saatchi & Saatchi and Brian Morrissey of Adweek have posted their picks for the best and worst ad-agency holiday cards over at the AdFreak blog. Is it a little Grinchy to judge expressions of holiday cheer? Maybe. Is their survey exhaustive? Probably not. But whatever, it’s interesting to see what people come [...]
