CITY Issue 59

CITY OCTOBER '08 / DESTINATIONS Ken Miller Ken Miller is an editor, writer, and curator for print and digital media and is currently completing SHOOT: Photography and the Ephemeral Image, a compilation of contemporary photography, due out in 2009. For CITY, he talked with DIESEL founder Renzo Rosso about his upcoming 30th anniversary in “Cult Classic” (pg. 64). Miller is the publisher of the arts journal Anathema, was editor-in-chief of Tokion arts magazine, and contributes regularly to V, V Man, The Fader and Uniqlo Paper. V Paper OUR FRIENDS Nick Zinner An artist and musician, Nick Zinner (“On the Road,” pg. 44) has been successful orbiting both spheres of his unique life. He plays guitar in the twice-Grammy nominated rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and three books of his photography have been recently published. He studied photography at Bard College and has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally. His photos have appeared in Vice, Rolling Stone, Spin, GQ, and Nylon. Amy Thomas Long-time contributor Amy Thomas (“My Place, and Yours,” pg. 82) has always had wanderlust. But a membership with a house-swapping site upped her passion for travel from obsession to addiction. “I get so many requests to do home exchanges from people all over the world: Spain, Italy, South Africa, California… after awhile, you just say, ‘yes’ to everyone.” She realized this is a common side effect while talking to other devotees for her story about home exchange vacations. Her other work can be seen in The New York Times, NewYorkMag.com and Metro. Dominique Palombo “I am passionate about capturing authentic, compelling moments,” says Dominique Palombo. And that he did in “7 Hour Overdrive” (pg. 116), shot on location in New York. Born in Paris, raised in California, and based in New York, the photographer enjoys outdoor shots of people caught in natural poses and with natural light. Palombo’s recent works include editorials in Nylon, and the French magazines, Dedicate and Diva, and Kookai’s fashion ad campaign. Pavia Rosati Pavia Rosati spent her childhood in a New Jersey suburb and on an Italian peach orchard, which explains both her taste in ice cream and her itchy feet. She has recently written about Bologna for The New York Times and Abruzzo for Sherman’s Travel. She shopped (shoes) and ate (ribeye) her way through the Buenos Aires barrio of Palermo for “Argentina Good Aires” (pg. 74) As executive editor of Daily Candy, Rosati splits her time between New York and London. Taku Taku is a Tokyo-born, New York-based photographer (I’m Good, I’m Gone.” pg. 106.) After living in a darkroom here for over a decade, he still struggles with his “L’s” and “R’s”. When he is not in the darkroom, he enjoys sleeping on the beach, riding his bike, and the Yankees. HIs work has also appeared in Esquire, BlackBook, and Tokion. 14 CITY TY http://www.NewYorkMag.com
