Piotr Sokul is a well-educated deviant-documentarian. Based in Vienna and educated in law, I recall him asking us to pull photographs from his zine as he 'feared half his town would kill him.' We stuck the remaining copies in a box and within the week he was effectively run-off of the internet- website sparse, flickr bare, everything deleted. It's a shame to think of the fantastic photographs confined to archives and hard drives. Couple that with his claim of losing "30-40 cameras a year" and one can't help but marvel at how he keeps at it. However, his recent revival has pleased the tumblr-verse to no end: vivid snaps of a life well-lived and equally well-documented. It seems that it's worth the risk of the occasional scrap in exchange for a collection phenomenal frames.

“Blood of the Young was founded in 2008 as an excuse to make more books. Five years and 175+ titles later, the same mandate of having everything handmade and independent is still number one. Supporting skateboarding and beyond, BOTY has helped some amazing work see the light of day. Like a raging river of content that manages to smack people over the head with a never ending rush of “yes” generally in the form of a hand stapled zine.“
