Over leisurely lunches and on idle nights, I frequently
find myself scrolling through The Sartorialist. The draw is not only the obvious
fashion stimulation, but the artistic window it offers into individual
experience.
I've long felt a magnetism toward the "now," the
pulse of present time – it's why I love reality TV and majored in
journalism. Scott Schuman's snapshots essentially assemble
a graphic newspaper, wordlessly reporting what's interrupting, what's
inspiring, what's happening around the globe any arbitrary, fleeting moment.

To book lovers' delight, the digital collection was first published in 2009; the sophomore deeper dive, this year. Even if you couldn't care
less about women in work boots or the merits of sockless loafers, the sharp
photographs, bound together in bright paperback, are provocative revelations of human habit.
If You’re Thinking About...… Culture, universally relevant
and perpetually in style, Schuman’s process and product are vibrant studies.
