Readymade

We've always totally loved the book spine that designer Deb Wood crafted out of Frank Pease silhouettes.  Nine LaPorte lookers stacked and gazing westward.  So we were psyched to see the LaPorte book used as a prop in the October/November issue of ReadyMade.  Check it there on page 78, illustrating how a book light should illuminate your favorite reads.  Go Deb!

The latest Stop Smiling magazine is their "Ode to the Midwest" issue, and contributing writer Jim Dempsey wrote a glowing review of LaPorte, Indiana in the latest issue.  Dempsey concludes his article by saying:

... these moments are more than tender, they represent a psychological place where vulnerability can dance carelessly, where adoration is encouraged and the perfect smile is effortless.  LaPorte, Indiana is a true collection of hope, revealing through these Midwestern Americans who we are and who we might be.

Check out the full review below.
