“So maybe the meaning behind all this is to listen to blues music to figure out what not to do in life.”

Photographs & Words by Damon Landry for Paradigm Magazine
I “discovered” HOW and NOSM via a friend of mine and inspiration for street art photography, New York City’s incredible, Luna Park. Back in 2010, we were doing a photo walk around Williamsburg in Brooklyn and she took me to see a piece they did on the Rock Star Bar and my mind was blown. They covered the entire building in their hyper-detailed mural style and I ...

The night began with lots and lots of adolescents on the loose running wild through Terminal 5 with half made costumes for the Pre Halloween HARD Haunted Mansion NYC Tour featuring: Skream & Benga, Joker, Gesaffelstein, Dillon Francis, and Destructo. The music was impeccable from the start. Gessafelstein was the first one I saw playing, laying down his intense tech house. If you don’t know his music, you should probably get to know it. After ...

-Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
A good friend of Paradigm Magazine, Mikael Kennedy, is closing the final chapter to his Passport to Trespass series. We interviewed ...

“When I shoot aerials I try to create images that are graphically compelling, make you think, present the content in a unique format, and illustrate either beauty or destruction.”
-Cameron Davidson
Cameron, can you elaborate on your 1979 National Geographic project that led to your love for aerial photography?
I started out as a bird photographer. In high school I lived in a rural area of Michigan and enjoyed tramping through the woods and photographing birds and wildlife. ...

Yannis, tell me more about your role in ‘King of B’ … Preparation, mind-state, what its like memorizing lines as opposed to improvising ?
“King of B” was the first time I starred in anything that was more than 10 minutes long and wasn’t a straight comedy, so it was a very good experience. I really want to do drama one day- all comedians say that! It was a dark comedy at best, so the director allowed ...
