    rollingstone: Photographer Norman Seeff isn’t into researching his subjects or setting up props; he’d rather place his famous models in front of a plain screen and chat. “My whole thing was, ‘It’s not about photography – it’s about communication,’” he tells us. Take a look at a selection of Seeff’s iconic photos - including Ray Charles, Steve Jobs, Carly Simon and more - and read the stories behind them.

    In October I gave a TEDx talk at Columbia College. It just came online today. Essence of the talk is how our worldview is negatively affected by good stories. 

    Awesome TED talk on the deceptive power of media, news and photography.

    rollingstone: That afternoon the first scenes are shot. Most sitcoms are filmed in one evening on three or four sets on a single Hollywood sound stage in front of an audience, with maybe one day’s shooting on location. For the final episode of Seinfeld (which is planned as an hour, though it may end up being longer), they will film on a number of sound stages and at a number of locations until next Wednesday, before shooting some final scenes in front of an invited audience. Seinfeld’s final episode aired 15 years ago today and we were there for the entire nine days of filming.  Click the image to read all about it. Seinfeld is probably the best sitcom ever. I can’t believe the last episode was 15 years ago. That makes me feel a bit old.

    Obama’s one-liner’s at the White House Correspondence Dinner.

    Hate him or love him, our president’s speechwriters know his demographics.

    You’ve got to admit, the man’s got style.
