  2. Thanks for posting my cover and for your compliment.

    I am not sure how the photographer achieved this image but I personally didn't do any Photoshop editing besides removing the background.

    This was just one of those lucky moments when an image search turns up something perfect: its a simple yet strange juxtaposition evoking meaning on its own and within the context of the pages it frames.

  3. As far as I know, there was no photoshop involved aside from removing the background. The image is from Getty. Here is a link to the original:

  5. Those were feet? Pretty polyambidexterous.
