New York, photographed by Douglas Rimington
Every now and then, we archive things, and in doing that today, I came across these beautiful black-and-white photographs from Doug Rimington, shot in Manhattan. Some were run in the print editions of Lucire; others were not. Film, as the professionals will tell you, has more depth and character than digital photography, and I think […]
Calgary, according to an Albertan
Stephen Beveridge, who ran Fashist in the early 2000s, is an Edmonton native and had a few comments about our new article on Calgary, Alberta, which he received information of via our Facebook presence. 1.

Stella Enting: Dedicated to Life

Travelling to Firenze and Québec City
Online today in the ‘Volante’ section, our most well travelled team members, Stanley Moss and Elyse Glickman, go to Firenze and Québec City respectively. Both places have their specialities, with Stanley discovering a hideaway to get away from the bustle of Firenze—which seems extra-hectic these days with work on the metropolitana—while Elyse revisited Québec City […]
