Alice Springs Photographs
Behind every great man, there's a great woman. That phrase is a genuine parallel to the life of Helmut Newton and his wife, June. June, who worked under the pseudonym, Alice Springs, became enamored with photography after her husband was struck with influenza to which she then took the reigns and had Helmut give her a crash course in Photography 101. 40 years later her iconic work has been collected in Taschen's "Alice Springs Photographs ($40)", which features four decades of advertising and fashion work as well portraits from her personal collection.

48 Hour Magazine
You might be thinking a new magazine launch in the era of online media might sound a bit crazy, but the folks over at 48 Hour Magazine have delivered on a pretty compelling idea. That idea was to crush conventional print media lead times by creating and shipping a complete print magazine in 48 hours. They've done this by unveiling a theme (which was "Hustle") for the magazine on May 7th and gave potential contributors 24 hours to send in their work. After exhaustively (and quickly) looking over 1,502 submissions, their ambitious idea has officially come to fruition and is hitting the printers as we speak. Link
