"The number one thing going for me is the email. We get so many submissions. That's the most fun part. I'm in constant contact with people from all around the world everyday. They're sending me photos no one has ever seen before," Ray Potes, the publisher of Hamburger Eyes, reveals. "I feel like I'm not putting them out fast enough."
With this great wealth of content, Potes decided to make a change. After 16 years of putting out one of the greatest photography zines ever made, he switched it up, launching Hamburger Eyes as a monthly for 2017. The first two issues (No. 24 and No. 25) officially debut at Printed Matter's LA Art Book Fair from February 23"“26, 2017.
Still providing the high-quality selection and sequencing of classic and cutting-edge street photography that has established the zine as the spot for fresh street photographers to come off, the monthly editions are distilled to the purest essence of the form, each featuring five artists who are given twelve pages each. All the work is black and white, creating a timeless effect, reminding us that the beautiful, strange, surreal, and silly moments of life are for the ages.
