Spring 2001 On Blackening My Father’s Name, by Peter Rockwell
People frequently do not like to have anyone mess with the image of someone they hold dear. I first became aware of this when doing portraits of children.
Designing Small, by Howard E. Paine
A stamp is only a tiny slip of paper, about one square inch in area, with a smudge of color and perhaps four or five typed words. It is framed by a series of perforations that enable this miniature document to be torn from its sheet and stuck in the upper right corner of an envelope. The design of a postage stamp is indeed a tiny task, but print that stamp up to a billion times, send identical copies to over 35,000 post offices and suddenly the design problem is seen in a different light.
