Power in Print: Guerrilla Mag puts up a fight for Black, queer and ‘femme’ communities in Boston

Drum beats from a practicing musician thump up and down the hallway, as Vikiana Petit-Homme sits on a couch in an arts studio in Dorchester. The 24-year-old editor and activist is holding a copy of her newest issue of Guerrilla Mag, a zine she edits with a friend and model, Tatiana White. This particular copy of the glossy magazine is smeared with fingerprints. It has clearly been heavily handled since it was printed earlier this year. But the worn out cover of her copy of Guerrilla’s No. 2 issue can’t hide the vibrant and striking design of the work that Petit-Homme can’t stop talking about

“It’s grungy,” says the editor earlier this week, “We want it to have that punk feeling.”

I will only leave this post up briefly. I made a professional quality 11x14 print on high quality paper of this photo I took, but it came out a shade darker than I wanted. If this is your kind of thing, please let me know if you're in the area. Free.

This is another one of the extraordinary early Olympus "DSLRs" that look nothing like DSLRs aside from the fact that you can see directly through the lens like a traditional DSLR. There is no interchangeable parts and these look more like little spaceships than cameras. I edited these photos, which admittedly are not very good and pretty cliche, just to see how much data is in the photos, and for being a 1997 camera, there is a ton of data in the highlights and in the shadows!

This is a cool little camera. Like its predecessor, the D600L, it's also basically a fixed-lens DSLR, but this version has some manual control abilities and a flash hot shoe. All of these photos used spot metering and aperture priority.
