Cool Hunting

For Polaroid lovers, could a magazine hit on anything more naughty and exciting than Tickl, the world’s first erotic Polaroid magazine? Back in the 1970s, before the days of digital photography, the ground-breaking Polaroid camera blazed a trail in bedrooms everywhere by making the instant picture a fixture in private erotic photography. Now the original prurience Polaroid represented makes a comeback with Tickl, which delivers a seductive blend of eroticism and art.

Having just released its fourth issue, dubbed the “Dickstravaganza Issue,” the playfully intimate format features completely unaltered images. As an added bonus, the current issue also promises more cock per Euro than ever before. Well, who could resist that?
Published in Vienna, Tickl is available through Polapremium. You can also check out their website for vendors worldwide.

Until now, the thinking person's softcore porn, Box Magazine, has (like un-thinking people's porn) been faithfully publishing in an online format only. With the work-themed issue five that launched earlier this month, the year-old publication goes print, featuring over a hundred pages of full-color photos, reviews, a Lady Sovereign interview (pictured above center), articles and illustrations. Memorable (perhaps even unforgettable) spreads include Diana Krell's...

The group, who in 2007 formed their own design firm...
by Russ Lowe We recently sat down over a tall boy with photographer Michael Cogliantry to chat about his latest book project "Furverts," chopping wood and his first case of hate mail. The Brooklynite-turned-Portlander, whose work spans hi-fi advertorial shoots for top brands to portraits of Alaskan gold-miners, made the cross-country trek west via caravan last summer. The first Pacific Northwest winter is a...
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
Sisters Anna and Tess Knoebel started Abe's Penny, a micro-magazine, earlier this year as subtle reminder of communication in our pre-digital days, back when receiving a postcard from a friend on holiday was the sole means of keeping tabs on their adventures. More a series of flash cards than an actual magazine, Abe's Penny is a monthly volume of four postcards ($48 for six months)...
Pushing the boundaries once again, this time Kanye West is inspiring the use of advanced imaging technology on the new cover of Complex magazine. The photograph is the result of a facial scan that gathers data from a camera that rotates around the object. A computer then stitched the images together to create an eerily detailed 2D photograph. Chris Milk, videographer and photographer behind...
