Teak

A funny thing happens when you move forward, even when you're not clear on your direction: the destination often reveals itself.

Before Colin Russell was a film editor at Teak, he was our good friend. Or was it the other way around? It's been so long no one remembers. What we do know is he's wildly talented and endlessly interesting to talk to.

In a world that feels deeply polarized, photography can be such a powerful tool. Photojournalist Jessica Lifland has a unique ability to capture the humanity in her subjects.
