The completion, printing and now distribution of the spring edition of ben shot me the magazine has been a big relief. As its incompletion was drawn out, each day later became a bigger burden mentally. This particular issue lacks a couple of stories that were the strengths of previous issues. In the pressure to finish, I also probably made a couple hasty editing decisions that I am already regretting. That said, the images from the restaurant Frank, outside Radio City and Daniel Byrnes are a few equal to some of my best work. e and I have been discussing regrouping and formulating a plan to make the summer issue more complete.
